Fischbowl 180 Days (Apirl 2007)

The post that I read was titled 180 days, and it talks about how so many days of school are not used for instruction during the 180 days of the school year. in the power point that was linked to the post it shows all the days that are not used for instruction. Some of the things include the first day to class rewards and sick days of the teacher,and students. the discussion started because a collage class taught by Barry Bachenheimer were discussing the shift happens video and how to incorporates technology in to the class room.

I agree that a large part of the school year is not used for educating the students. I think that events like pep rallies and movies are not used to teach the students. I think that people could find a way to add technology in to the curriculum. It was amazing to see how many days of the school year are not used to educate the students of the school.
