Distance Learning:

Students who are not receiving a packet should complete their assignments on their Edpuzzle page. Students log into Edpuzzle using their CBS Google Accounts. The edpuzzle assignments match the packets that are sent home so you are free to supplement your learning with both if you would like. For students that need more, do not forget to check in on your edmodo page as well for games and activities related to your topic

Please contact me through my email if you have any questions and stay safe.

I am a graduate of Cedar Bluff School and Jacksonville State University. I began my career at Cedar Bluff in 2003.

Today’s students are privy to more information and stimulus than any in the history of the world. Any question that they have can be answered in seconds by simply getting out a cell phone and searching the net. It is an exceptional time we live in and this capability can provide amazing opportunities for our students to explore the world. However, it also means that we as educators face new challenges that those who came just a few years before us never had to deal with. Gone are the good old days where a teacher could stand in front of a classroom, lecture all day, and hold a child’s attention. You may have gotten away with that 20 years ago when kids arrived as dry sponges, eager to soak up whatever drops of knowledge got sprinkled upon them. Even the most charismatic speaker would have little success with that style today. The sponges come to us soaked and hemorrhaging.

As an educator I feel it is my job to take all the aforementioned information my students have as well as the sophisticated manners in which they get it and use that to my advantage. Whatever it is being taught, it has to be made relevant to a learner if we expect them to be a stakeholder in their own education. I love searching for new ways to do that whether by giving some analogy that they can relate to or getting students’ to discuss something in their own life that ties in with the topic at hand. The biggest reward I get as a teacher is seeing true passion from my students. When I touch on a subject matter that causes eyes to light up and questions are getting launched at me rapid fire, I can see their interest in how the world works. My favorite moments are when I am asked something that even I don’t know and it’s me searching for the answer. When it’s my eyes glowing and I am the one excited about something new learned I believe it reminds them that discovery never ends and shows them that we are in this thing together.
