Coach O's Site and Blog

Other Instructors around the state have developed websites and blogs.  Coach O has a great website and he will also be instructing the driving portion of the class this summer.  Check out his website to see how he has made a Power Point to help his students study for the TELL test as well as a wealth of other ideas too!

Well, this summer I will venture into something new!   I am so excited, yet incredibly nervous that I will be teaching Traffic Education classes to teachers in Montana.  Nervous for various reasons, but teaching teachers is a challenge and I am welcoming this.  I feel that everyday is a learning process and I hope they gain a wealth of knowledge from me but I am looking forward to learning from them as well. 

I tend to use my blog as a "dumping ground" for new teaching ideas and to gather thoughts that I do not want to lose after a class is done.  I find that ideas have to flow and be written down to be remember just as our lesson plans our or we tend to forget the important parts or the inspiration to the new lessons. 

I encourage you to create your own blog as well, maybe even experiment with wikis!  But I do think the biggest asset for me is having a dropbox account. I a highly recommend that you do too.

Understanding Car Crashes: When Physics Meets Biology

This will be a great addition to Mod 9 and Seat belt lessons.
