Author Reflection
Looking back on the time spent writing this article I am amazed at it's turnout. In the beginning I hated using wikicode and trying to figure out good/bad sources. Being a full time mommy, part time worker and student I am thankful that I completed this article. I believe it to be relevent to educators today and the research to be quite interesting as well. I wish I would have spent more time reading articles related to the topic than I did. However, I feel that I produced the best work to my ability and I am proud to have had this experience as a future educator.

I enjoyed reading your “In the News” Article and found it quite interesting. I found it interesting but not too suprising that recently a high school senior stated that classroom management needed to be improved in his school. I agree that the parterships that used to exist between teachers and parents are fading. I also agree that eliminating consequences in the classroom is a problem, because without consequences rules will be broken. The War and Court descriptions surprised me, but I think that each could work with different teaching styles. As long as the teacher grows accustomed his/her students, they will know what works best for classroom management. I really enjoy integrating technology into the classrom and I think this is a great part of classroom management as it keeps the teacher and students connected. Moodle sounds like a great tool I look forward to using! Afett001 (talk) 17:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article. I might be good to consider adding in links to the news articles you cite. This would also add to your sidebars and help break up the text. I might also be good to choose a less difficult color to read for the background of the sidebars. But overall great job!Scrai010 (talk) 01:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I liked your article very much. It is interesting to see how difficult the job teachers have both maintaining order and teaching what they need to. I love the idea of the mock court, would definitely work in older students classes since they tend to argue a point into the ground anyway. I also liked that new idea of technology in moodle. It is part of the process in teaching to find new ways to interact with our students and I think that may be one that would benefit the teacher and the student.Jnewh001 (talk) 18:44, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
