My teacher was Mary Worrell and the name of her blog is See Mary Teach. The first post I commented on was named Giving myself room to learn..and my film making debut. Basically this post was about how she was a teacher who wanted to use technology in the classroom but did not have the resources. And after realizing that using the digital camera/ video in the room would be a lot of work she was a bit happy that she did not have resources. After participating in a collaboration with other teachers she was introduced to video techniques in the classroom. She then saw how easy it was to use and was amazed. She then summed up that if teachers like her would just take the first step and try, they will learn that all it takes is to be brave enough to fail, get back up , and try again.
The second blog post is named the Reading the gender binary. In this post she is talking about the language difference in books that are made for girls to read and boys to read. This blog explains that that the language used for each gender does not always fit. There are girls who are more than boyish and boys who are more than sensitive. These kids are noticing their gender differences at an earlier age and are becoming more comfortable with letting the world that. And the language that we use (in the books for reading) must start portraying that.
