I don’t know about you but I’m buzzing with back-to-school excitement.

Last night, I attended faculty meeting for adjuncts at the community college where I teach. There were 10 new adjuncts in our department (apparently the media isn’t lying about community colleges booming during the recession).

During the meeting, we had some free time to talk about syllabus ideas and I was just JAZZED by how creative, intense and student-centered the department and everyone in it are.

We're starting a little facebook fun for teachers and I'd love for you to join in!!

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 12 Reasons Why You Teach. At the end, choose 12 (or more) teachers to be tagged.

Inspired by the Facebook 25 things phenomenon, here are 25 fun facts about teachers and teaching. Here we go!

Thank you to everyone who entered both the "Our Ed Tech is Busted" Contest and the Lit Lesson Giveaway.  With no further ado, the winners are:

TeachHUB is excited to announce its next round of contests and giveaways just in time to close out the school year.

We're very excited to announce the winners of the TeachHUB School Spirit Contest and Spa Giveaway that wrapped up yesterday.

In a real nail biter that came down to the final moments, the Roof Campers pulled out a victory in the School Spirit Contest with the Academic Super Bowl trailing just a few hundred votes behind. They both put up impressive numbers, both topping 11,000 votes. In fact, there was such a last minute rush to vote that they nearly crashed the site.
