I’ve been eager to get back on my bike, and have been carefully taking it out for a spin every now and again. I appreciate the time it gives me to think. And almost without fail my thoughts turn to my research and the internet. One morning last week, I stopped at a point on [...]

No Apples Here
by Kiersten Greene
Published on March 14, 2012 3:26 pm.This post draws from my first journal entry as a brand-new New York City Teaching Fellow about ten years ago. I’d spent plenty of time working with children as a teenager, and a year as a photography teacher at a school in Yonkers, but I was not prepared for what was to come. [Our summer [...]

“Hope and enthusiasm are soaring here. But not test scores.”
by Kiersten Greene
Published on September 6, 2011 4:35 pm.This past Sunday’s New York Times published the first of a series of articles about “the intersection of education, technology and business as schools embrace digital learning”(p. 16) with the title “In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores.” I have to say, I appreciate the NYT’s effort at turning the spotlight to education every now and then, [...]
Pednology, or Maybe Techagogy
by Kiersten Greene
Published on September 2, 2011 10:25 am.Yesterday’s post marked the start of me trying to work out, in writing, some of the questions I have about pedagogy and technology. I’ve been spending more time with my computer than any other object in my life for at least the last ten years, and there are (many) things that have developed or changed over [...]
