In terms of applying this tool to classroom life, teachers could skype the classroom and teach from home if they are sick. They could have teacher conferences from virtually anywhere as well as parent teacher conferences from the comfort of ones' home. This tool is suited for just about any subject if used properly and if necessary. It's a live action camera, so as long as one has the materials necessary to demonstrate an assignment, than they could do lessons from home. A few ways to implement this tool would be to use to for a virtual field trip or have a guest speaker teach or speak.

Creativity Counts!

Creativity Counts!

<a href="Title: Creativity Counts!"></a>


 Creativity is the use of imagination to create something which is presented in a unique perspective.Creativity mattes in education because it allows children to develop different ways of thinking, and allows individuals to think in different ways. I have been in a situation where the teacher allowed me to be as creative as possible. My AP psychology teacher provided a project which included twenty different ways which she would allow us to present the information. The way to solve the problem described by Sir Ken Robinson is to encourage more arts related classes and provide students with information on how to be individualistic on assignments and encourage Diversity in the classroom. I believe that teachers should provide a less structured way of doing assignments so that children can express themselves without limitation.

My State Teach Tomorrow Summit Highlight

The highlight of the TAFFE Teach Tomorrow Summit was the performance by Rhapsody, a chorale related group from Houston State University. Their voices were phenomenal, and I am more fond than I should be of A Capella music. I also enjoyed the breakout sessions with the various High School chapters from around the state. Although the activities were enjoyable, I would not recommend this experience to my fellow TAFFE members simply because it was restricting in terms of socializing affairs, independence, and time management. I did not enjoy the experience, and felt as though it was a waste of my time and efforts.

My Daughter Malala

http://kkallas901.blogspot.com/



I believe that United States citizens should be the only group allowed free public education. Those who have emigrated illegally should not be allowed education due to the fact that they have failed to go through the process of legitimizing their citizenship. They did not put forth the effort or patience to legally become a citizen. They refused to fill out the paperwork and were not patient which shows that they don't think this country is worth all of the steps required to migrate here. Therefore, they do not deserve the perks that the United States has to offer. Comparing the immigration and Pakistani women rights issues in terms of education is an invalid comparison. The immigrants in the united states are not citizens of this country. In order to fairly run the United States, we must first cater to those who are natural born U.S. citizens. They are the first priority because they are legally from here. "Immigrant education" is not a matter of sex discrimination, it is a matter of legality, priority, and responsibility.
