What can you teach yourself?
Read about an interesting experiment in the New Scientist.

Tell me, I forget; show me, I remember; involve me, I understand.

You remember 10% of what you hear,
15% of what you see,
20% hear and see,
40% of what you discuss,
80% of what you experience or practice doing, and
90% of what you attempt to teach others.

remain true to what you believe in.

Happy National CS Education week!

Please make your pledge at www.csedweek.org.

Computer Science – NOT computer literacy – underlies most innovation today. Yet the majority of US schools only require that students use computers. Seldom do schools prepare students to innovate and create the new technologies that drive local and national economies. So, you will just have to be your own teacher by using online resources. This ability to innovate with technology is important for your future success and ability to make a difference in a global society.   - from ncwit.org Talking Points

I hope you will aspire to study computer science.

Thank you for thinking of me and designing such a wonderful retirement book. I hope to see you again in the virtual world.

You can communicate through your blogs posted at ctgardenteams.edublogs.org.

Remember Reading This?

As I end my 25 years of classroom teaching I am a little sad, as I have loved looking at the products you all have produced. As you end this school year, please reflect on what you have learned and the gardens you will grow. I wonder … will you be a Landscape Architect? You can write about your brain reflections for your future through technology and look back on your past when you graduate from college.

I am excited that connections can continue through blogging. I will be back next year as a volunteer to help my bloggers, my book writers, my binary learners and all who have questions. I would like to help students who want to create graphics, such as this 7 year old whose art was selected as the best. Remember your Google Art reflection project? Reflections are THINKING about your ideas. “Oh the THINKS you can THINK!”

So what do you want to be? Do you want to be an engineer that builds “Curiosity” and finds water and life on Mars.

I want to help increase your brain time. You can download the binary clock to your computer today. Remember Internet Safety, get permission from your parent before downloading anything at home. I hope you have enjoyed learning to count and add in the binary world. I hope you will not be ALIENS to this world of math that can connect you to the decimal world you know.
