Scott- At first I was going to use this blog as a trial to just play with ideas of what I would do for a classroom blog and I’ve decided to use this blog as an educational tool. I’m busy writing the actual “paper” but this posting could serve as an abstract. I want this Fading Ad Blog to address many of the different issues I have with today’s curriculum. One of them is the poor attempt on the Department of Education to administer a meaningful and informative HIV/AIDS curriculum that will really educate students about safe behaviors. Additionally, I will integrate Science, New York Studies, World Studies, Mapping Skills, and Art & Photography, as well as Memoir as a Personal Document. Right now, I teach second through fifth grade but this new certification will be K-12. Eventually I would like to teach older students, having already taught middle school. I’m enjoying elementary and it will be a challenge to tailor this blog to address perhaps a fourth grade curriculum and keep it age appropriate. I think I am going to have fun with this one.
