Nikki Troia commented on Katy Christensen's blog post The Art of Teaching"I totally agree, I hate sitting in a class where I dont like the teacher because they have a bad attitude or just lecture us for the whole period.

Keeping the Heritage Alive
All this talk about immigration and our family history projects really got me thinking. In America nationality is much more abundant than it is in other countries. If you think about it there are about 200 countries in the world, and most of those people's ethnicity is the country they live in, but in America we come from a broad variety of cultures. The thing is though when we all get mixed together there is a part of us that just automatically…

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
