I have to say I still haven’t bought into the whole twitter thing. Of course it has it’s ups and downs and I can see why some people like using it, but I just don’t think its a good way for me to communicate. It’s fun to follow celebrities and athletes to see what they’re up to, but I don’t think anyones that interested in when im waking up or going to bed. This isn’t to say I don’t have an interesting life, I just have different ways to express myself without tweeting. I really enjoy using facebook so I can store pictures and see my friends albums, and this is something twitter lacks. Maybe one day i’ll become more interested in twitter, but for now I don’t have much need for it.

Whole Brain Teaching
I just found an awesome video on “whole brain teaching” in a kindergarten classroom. It’s a creative and quirky way for students to participate in the classroom. They are taught word phrases and hand movements for the way they are supossed to be acting. For instance, “bubble in the mouth” means the children have to be very quiet. It also creates ways for the young students to talk and interact with eachother throughout their learning process. They recieve sticker stars as awards and “saddy” faces when they do something wrong. I hope you like this teaching style as much as I did.
