I completely agree that with advances in technology the class romm is inevitably going to be altered and the way that we as teachers function in a classroom. By learning about the different technologies available for educational purposes and apply them to the way we teach, our students will be able to grow and learn more quickly. And also I feel that this way of teaching provides a better visual learning experience for all. Ascha006 (talk) 18:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello Pam,

Sounds like you’ve dedicated a lot of time to ballet. I admire that. I am, and always have been a huge fan of the arts (regardless of its contentious definition). And I see that you have two sons. Aren’t boys the greatest? I have been blessed with three boys. Your sons are a lot older than my sons though. My boys are 4, 2 and 2 months. And Magnum, I can’t forget about him. Judging from your smile, I can tell you two have a great relationship (he must be the best owner anyone could have). In regards to your life goals and philosophies, I think it’s wonderful that you were open-minded enough to learn something from the children. I also strongly support you “uninhibited confidence” philosophy. I have always felt that this was a necessity for true success in any area of life. I enjoyed reading your user page. Sounds like you have a wonderful family and lead a very productive life. Abibb001 (talk) 02:29, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Pam!

I can see that dancing has certainly played a major and impressive part of your busy life! That's wonderful! My daughter was heavily involved with dance from first grade all the way through high school (this, of course, qualifies me as the honorable, ever-present and ready-to-go "Backstage Mom"!). That is a good phrase you have used: uninhibited confidence--I like that! And you are right about the difference it will make with children as they grow through their educational years; they MUST be able to believe in themselves and we teachers play an unbelievably vital role in perpetuating their self-images. I believe you will be the kind of teacher they will need (and love, too!).Riddle00579942marie (talk) 18:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
