Book Study Blog Reflection

This is our first experience using a blog instead of face to face interaction in a book study. How do you feel about it? Would you like to continue in this manner instead of meeting face to face?

GT Book Study Question 4

Being an educator and/or a parent, what skills would you need to develop in order to live, work, or create an educational environment of highly gifted. Why?

GT Book Study Question 3

This book is designed to share practical information and stories from those who have lived and or worked with profoundly gifted children. Which story, section, or piece of practical information did you like best or left an impression with you…and why? Don't forget to give page numbers.

GT Book Study Question 2

Chapter 5, pages 48 – 64, discussing different instruments for identifying the profoundly gifted. After reading this section, describe your belief as to the importance in correctly identifying these students. How do you see SBISD now and in the future serving the highly gifted?

GT Book Study Question 1

What was your overall impression of the first part of the book…and why? (Be specific with your answer and if giving an example from the book, remember to site the page(s)).

GT Book Study - High IQ Kids - Directions

Thing #14 - Technorati

This thing just didn't get me excited. I will say that I like the new layout of Technorati. When I visited earlier it was visually too busy and I just didn't want to deal with it. I'm a real sucker for a nice layout.

I did find a new blog that I had not found before, The "More" Child, so I appreciate that. I will visit periodically, but I'm having trouble coming up with ways to use it.

I like that Technorati has two-word tags unlike Del.icio.us. I have trouble getting it down to one word. I just need more practice with tags to improve my facilities in using them. It's a bit of a different way of thinking.

I am claiming my blog on Technorati:
