February 28 2009
Tags:
The Israel Translators Association (ITA, www.ita.org.il) held a well-timed seventh annual conference, during the lull between this year’s two February rainstorms. The conference’s opening, on the evening of the 23rd, was preceded by optional, separately charged workshops: “The Internet as a Driver for Your Business,” “Advanced Localization,” “Words in Context” (about the editing of translations), and “Good Time Management.”

My welcoming when approaching Ashqelon railway station last Sunday night was the announcement of the colour red and for everybody to lie flat on the train floor. It seems as though the sounds of rockets exploding have become part of our lives here. I pray daily for our soldiers who are confronted by death traps for the safety of the nation.

Eye Spy
"You know your teacher is possessed by Beelzebub when his or her head rotates 360 degrees at the blackboard. But is this what it takes to effectively keep watch over a classroom while a teacher unveils a frontal lesson? All adults who work with kids instinctively understand that they love to deny their mischievous behavior when the teacher isn't looking. It's one of the hallmarks of adolescent classroom acuity. Lest you grow eyes in the back of your head, educators are in a significantly vulnerable position. So how does one fight back?Read more...
Monkey See Monkey Do
"How many bars of soap would it take to wash out the mouths of our most vulgar students? I'm not advocating such an archaic punishment, but if I hear just one more Junior High school student offer greetings and salutations to his peers with a: wassup beeach? or how'z it mother f@cker?, I am going to lose my composure and thrash someone with a complete, unabridged Webster's dictionary.Read more...
Cooperative Learning in School
"Can't we all just get along?" The popularized outcry by Rodney King captures the essence of cooperative learning with kids. Everyday children are put to the task of working together as a class, in groups or pairs, without systematic preparation or training. The result is often a breakdown in rank and file with dissention leading the attack. Here's an example:Read more...
Ramblings of an ex-teacher
Kick 'em in the back, kick 'em in the knee, bring it on teachers, educate me! Oh come on educators, "let's give it the old college try!" Sorry, too much to ask? Well then, drag yourself to work and just get through the day without too much aggravation and insult.Read more...

Lateral Thinking in the Classroom
Remember the old trash compactors? You shoved in as much garbage as possible, compressed it and added some more. Neat, tidy bundles of waste, prepared for dumping, dense and inert. Lot's of energy goes into packing, but once they are imbedded in the ground, how useful are they? Clearly some material can be recycled. But how do we begin the sorting process? How much information that we impart to kids today will be useful to them and society in the future? Are we helping them sort the trash or just cramming in more?

Wash the Dishes
"A Philistine giant measuring over nine feet tall and wearing full armor, came out each day for forty days, mocking and challenging the Israelites to fight. His name was Goliath." The problem with much of schooling today is that we have all too often been transformed into Goliath's.Read more...
