What 5 essential pop culture artifacts (CDs, DVDs, Books, Images, Toys, etc.) would you have on your desert island?
I know the urge to load up an iPod is almost insurmountable, but we're going to try and party on this desert island like it's 1999. I think later on, I'll make it five artifacts in each genre, but for today these are my 5 essentials:

MUSIC: Jeff Buckley, Grace - Stevie Wonder Songs In the Key of Life, John Coltrane, A Love Supreme
FILM: The Royal Tenenbaums, Sweet & Lowdown, Clockers
BOOK: Another Country - James Baldwin

    My husband, sports fan and literary fan, just told me about this site run by Bill Simmons of ESPN that features Dave Eggers of McSweeneys.  Thought it might be something MC Poppers would like: http://www.grantland.com/.

     

    Cheers.

    Hi Ryan!

       Yes this website is awesome, I'm glad Kathie had us check it out. Thank you for the recommendation. I did join the group. Take Care!

    Hi Ryan!

    Thanks for your response.  I'm a newbie at this.  I have a lot of resources I'd love to share-I'm just not sure where.  I have compiled a list of over 500 websites for 5th grade Science teachers.  I have aligned them with the Ohio Content standards but they are also grouped by topic.  I have favorites that I use on the smartboard, to collect lesson plans and websites for students.  I have them on a Word document and would be willing to email them to anyone who's interested.  Thanks again.

    Ryan,

    Are you sure you want me to paste it on the wall?  The document is 42 pages. I could edit it down.  Please forgive my stupidity, I'm new at this sharing stuff:)

    Hey Ryan,

    Thanks for the warm welcome!  I look forward to exploring MC Pop more as I try to wrap my head around being a 6th grade teacher - thanks for the group suggestions.  I hope your surgery and recovery go well.

    Thanks again-

    Saludos Ryan!

    Thanks for your suggestions to join other groups. I'm glad that I have found a group of teachers that share the same idea of what a class should be like. I'll be looking forward to share ideas with you.

    I was going to post this, but wanted to ask first - is this ok?

     

    I am an SME for Physics for Twist Education, and we are developing applications to teach physics. Our first 4 apps are up on iTunes, and can be used to teach the seven SI units, the SI metric prefixes, the adding and scaling of vectors, and one-dimensional motion. We are hoping for teachers to try the apps in their class, and contact us with feedback - we are looking to develop potential research protocols with schools willing to test for learning efficacy.

    Ideally, these would be close to San Antonio, TX, where we are located.

    We would love you to take a look at the website and give feedback. Contact me here, or register for Twist and log in, explore the site, and leave comments.

    Thanks for the tips, Ryan! It was great being a part of the SPI Summer Institute at TC this year -- and I'm looking forward to checking out the site! Also, I sent it to a few co-workers!
  • Mindy Jencson

    Hi Ryan - thanks for the greeting. I have the pleasure of doing a variety of things in my job. One of them is helping keep area district teachers (K-12) up-to-date on cool sites and upcoming technology. I found out about this site from a distribution list I'm on for librarians. I'm looking forward to exploring this site and learning how it can be utilized.

  • Bliss Wright

  • Sam Zhang

    Cool! Thanks Ryan. You made me feel like home. Now I believe I've made a right choice to join you guys in this group. May I have the link for the gaming group? I'm just so fond of making games!

  • Sam Zhang

    Awesome! Thank you sooooo much!!! Yeah, almost everyone loves games. 

  • Erin Yates

    Thanks, Ryan.  Saw your presentation at the NMSA conference in Louisville and really enjoyed it.  Looking forward to the book.  :)

  • Joan Axthelm

    Thanks for the suggestion, Ryan.  I am so impressed to see that Yang made comics for Algebra! How awesome. That guy is amazing.

    Looking at your profile, I realized I am the "anti-you". I teach math and English as a second language and you teach everything but math and foreign language! (Am I revealing too much of my geeky self here?)

    Anyway, looking forward to participating in the ning.

    Ryan,

    Are you teaching a course through TIDE on Differentiated Instruction?  Will classes be held at Waubonsie High School and what are the dates?  The catalog dates are different than the email I got from my gifted resource teacher.  What is the policy if I cannot be there one day for the whole time (I have a prior committment for the afternoon but can be there in the morning).  Thanks in advance for the info! 

     

  • Diane Boni

    Thanks for the suggestions, Ryan, and for the crowdsource!

  • Kathy Calhoun

    I also thank you for the suggestions!  I am so glad to have found this site!

    Thanks, Ryan! I am a first year teacher and school is approaching quickly! I will definitely start looking at the groups when I am planning lessons! :)

  • Kalyn Whitten

    The teachers I know all say the first year is survival and to beg, borrow, and steal material to get through it :) Thanks for the link - looks like some great stuff!

  • Colleen McIntee

    Hi Ryan! Thanks for the info, as a future French and PE teacher, I'm looking forward to finding goodies from these forum as I start planning lessons! Go blue right back at you!

    Thanks for the group recommendations Ryan! I joined the site in one of my 'scouring the internet for a certain resource' journeys and never got around to really exploring it. But I joined the group and will make a note to explore this place more soon :)
