Mr. Mac
A Classroom is a Community

Tuesday, May 12, 2020

     You know...for 20 years it’s been Mr. Mac’s Classroom.  A place, a noun, a home away from home.  If you were to visit you would see evidence of me everywhere, and the evidence of my kids...all of them.
     Now, it is Google Classroom.  A cyber-place in cyber-space.  It is actually IN my home.  It is still a noun.  If you were to visit you would see me sitting behind a small chrome book, feverishly typing, linking, sending, zooming, attaching, emailing, zooming, texting, creating, zooming. Did I mention zooming?  The evidence of my students are what is commented on, what is private messaged, and their videoed faces on a screen.
     Still, a house is just a thing, but a home is where the heart is.  So, I put my heart into this cyberspace classroom...my virtual home away from home.  I take great strides in molding my Google Classroom into an internet version of Mr. Mac’s Classroom.
     Just as Room 101 is mine, so is my Google Classroom...my own small bit of cyberspace.👍🏼
