Luckily, they are microcosms that we escape when we join the big, wide world...but its amazing how many of the dynamics that you see in high schools are replicated in other places, and most recently and relevantly, social media technologies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423343578843915247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604620482023286355.post-76755350152250455942011-01-12T13:12:47.584-05:002011-01-12T13:12:47.584-05:00Your best one yet.Your best one yet.Kel Smithhttp://anikto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604620482023286355.post-71641465198201453232011-01-12T12:31:15.117-05:002011-01-12T12:31:15.117-05:00Oh, Koreen, you're taking me back.

There's nothing quite like the eye ball roll from a 15 year old to make you feel like gum covered in dog doo on the bottom of someone's shoe.<br /><br />You are right, though, the number one answer to distracted learners (whether in high school, a staff meeting, a board meeting, or a conference workshop) is engagement. If chaos reigns, we have to look at who is holding the reigns and how they're being held. Too often it is with the content in mind instead of the learner.<br /><br />Great post!Lisa Chamberlinhttp://openphd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
