17 Oct

Reblogged from Federal Way Conservative:

5 teaching classics I won't be using next year. 

1. Classroom Projection

Have you ever been to the cinema to watch a kids movie? A multi-million dollar Hollywood budget is not enough to keep every eye on the screen!

If they all need to see something then like "real" people do in the "real" world, I issue the link and they watch in their own time.
