I have always said that if I was ever going to write a book about education, it would be called "On the Rabbit Trail." I believe and have always believed that is where the real learning happens no matter what our curriculum is. I was doing a professional development thing a few days ago when the question was asked, "How do you feel about rabbit trails in your classroom?" While thinking about that, I decided that my blog title didn't reflect my philosophy of education the way I wanted it to.
Like a middle school girl, I've decided to change the name of this
blog to better represent what it is becoming. When I first started, I
thought I might post about non-school things as well; but this has
really become more about my teaching experiences than anything else. I
also don't feel like my ramblings are as random as I thought they might
be when I started blogging.
The address will remain the same because I thought changing it might delete my previous posts, but the title is now "On the Rabbit Trail." I hope my thoughts will help you catch some rabbits in your own classes.
