Sniff & Scurry

 Do you think an Administrator should be like “Sniff and Scurry.” How can an administrator deal with “Hem and Haws” in your schools?
 As a principal I want to be like Scuff and Scurry in that they were aware of what was happening to the cheese. They were aware that the cheese supply was being depleted. As a principal we must be aware of the things happening within our schools. By Scuff and Scurry noticing what was going on, they were able to make provisions for the changes that were about to take place. To deal with the Hem and Haws, as principal, I would have to get the two to see that change is inevitable. Haw was more willing to change than Hem and this is how some staff members will be. As principal we will have to encourage them and turn them into a Haw and have this attitude about change.

       As a college student in the teacher education program, I currently only use 2 computer apps to supplement my learning. I am currently using Google Drive and MyScript Smart Note. Google Drive allows me to take notes, build presentations, and other cool things. MyScript Smart Note also allows me to take notes in my handwriting while studying.

       These apps have changed how I function as a student by allowing me to reflect on my learning. It allows me to take notes while reflecting on lessons and creating notes that would allow me to memorize the information better.
