things I can't do with an iphone

1. Type this blog with any kind of speed that's not considered geriatric.
2. Figure out how to put pics on this blog if my pics are not uploaded to an Internet site.
And finally,
3. Type this blog without looking like a lame-o old lady who does not have her multiple finger cheating on my test taking abilities down.
Still, since I'm on way to San Antonio, my husband says why do you need to take your computer, you have your iPhone? It can do everything you want it to do.
So, in order to save space for books I'm going to scrounge for free, I am without my laptop. I have 4 days to figure out how to get my iPhone to work for me so that I too can be an iPhone weiner.

Don't want to sound old fashioned but what did people (including me)do without technology? As a kid, I remember using a washing machine which had a wringer attachment. We starched our clothes by boiling Chinese starch in a pot in the kitchen and carrying the boiling HOT, viscous, grayish mush to the wash house in the garage to starch the sheets, pillow cases, khaki pants, and work shirts. We hung our clothes on clothes lines which stretched from one side of our yard to the other. Clothes dried quickly in the hot Lahaina sun.

And we were among the Modern families. The Nakamoto family down the street had their big tarai (pakini) filled with scalding hot water to boil their sheets and stuff. We could tell it was laundry day by the smell of burning wood for their fire to "cook" their clothes.

Our clothes line was not only for clothes. If our fishermen friends brought fish and tako (octopus), my mom would dry the fish in fish boxes and "hang" the tako on the clothes line to dry. All of this had to take place on non-laundry days. Fish dried quickly in the Lahaina sun. Opelu, akule seasoned with Hawaiian salt or shoyu-sugar-ginger. Yum...did you know that in order to buy dried ahi at KTA, it costs $6.99 for 4 OUNCES?

Is technology making our lives easier or stressful? There is something to be said about old fashioned times when people had to work hard. A good night's sleep remedies the tired muscles of hard work. But today in these fast and stressful times, not all of the work wearies can be remedied by a good night's sleep.

What does the future hold for us at this rate?

Kino (an indigenous logic model): post 1 of 4

Passion I have. What I need is to practice my elevator speeches, those short informative program synopses that can be done in the time it takes to ride the elevator. Of course it will take me 4 posts. Post 1: The honua: building on solid ground The Alana culture-based education course is graphically depicted by the above logic model. The honua (green box), the earth, represents the mo'ok ūauhau, the geneology of this program that informs and guides the building of this course. Dr. Shawn Kanaʻiaupuni and her team lay the foundation for culture-based education (CBE) modeling and immersion within the course. Dr. Walter Kahumoku and Keiki Kawaiʻaeʻa, in consultation with Dr. Bernice McCarthy (4Mat) bring to the geneology the work of moenahā, a curriculum planning concept based on the way kupuna taught. Makawalu, literally eight eyes, is a concept practiced by Kaʻimipono Kaiwi and her teachers at Kamehameha Kapālama to encourage multiple perspectives in the standards-b

Tech Tools to Support Formative Assessment in the Classroom

Source: Dyer, K. (Jan. 31, 2019). 75 digital tools and apps teachers can use to support formative assessment. NWEA blog . What is sacred: Normally, when I read an article that I am going to use for class, I highlight citations that are sacred, but this is a different type of article, so what I wanted to do was keep track of apps that I tried in class or am trying and use Dyer's own lens to talk about worth and value in my own classroom. I cannot do 75. I will do 5.

Visual Synectics Strategy: Beyond the Icebreaker

To get professional conversations going, one strategy is the visual synectics strategy. The purpose is to select a visual and generate comparisons as a way to foster professional conversations within the table. Our visual options were: Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz , Peter Falk from Columbo , Michael Jordan, Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey. The cloze passage for the day was: Learning with other professional educators is like_______________ because_______________. Our tongue in cheek response: Learning with other professional educators is like Dorothy because sometimes we need to realize that we're just not in Kansas anymore, embrace the change, learn through the process, and only then can we find our way back home. Why is this strategy better than an icebreaker? It's not busy work. It guides participants to start thinking as a professional. It's not personal. The word icebreaker connotes that there is ice to be broken. People
