I have been in the field of education for 27 years. I love what I do everyday; it is truly a passion and I can not imagine doing anything else! In 2013, I retired as the gifted, special services, and elementary curriculum director for a public school district! I design curricular materials anywhere from Pre-K to 8th grade, and I must say I am partial to classroom/behavior management and English Language Arts.

Our classrooms are full of native digital learners. Learners who do not know life any different than being connected 24/7– they have unlimited data, face-time, snap chat, and utilize many, many other applications. Because of this, students must continually be educated about proper on-line etiquette and procedures for on-line behavior. In this resource, you will find six mini-posters that are perfect to place above your whiteboard. Each expresses a statement of proper etiquette/on-line procedures for the web. In this information age of technology, it is so completely important for students to be able to think rational and logical where on-line procedures are concerned. These posters are reminders of expected on-line behavior.
As the 100th day of school approaches, get all of your students excited about what they have already accomplished this school year as well as what is in store for them for the rest of the school year. In this resource, you will find a mini-poster for students to all involve themselves in some writing activities that include: a self portrait of what they believe they would look like in 100 years, a listing of the games that they believe that children will play in 100 years, a writing activity about what their hope is in the world of medicine in the next 100 years, a writing activity about what they believe will be available in the world of technology in 100 years, a writing activity about what life was like for a student 100 years ago, and what they predict their world will be like in 100 years. Many of these exercises are meant to be springboards for further research and study and more extended writing activities as well as performance based projects. Students will all enjoy this activity. When complete, you might display each students’ poster!
