About
For the past 20 years, I have been teaching at the same school. It is an Iowa public school of choice. Our school is a traditional school that teaches the Core Knowledge curriculum, in addition to regular school district curriculum. This means that in fourth grade, we study everything from the American Revolution to Medieval history. As a teacher, I am constantly a student, and as I learn, the kids learn with me. As a teacher, I am also an actor, an artist, a writer, and a graphic designer. I have always said that one of the great things about being a teacher is you can color, cut and paste, build things, and play games with the kids, and no one questions your maturity or sanity. Teaching can keep you young or age you, and often it does both, all on the same day.
Mostly I am a student of life. I am still trying to figure things out, both on a personal and professional level. This blog is just part of my attempt to reflect and learn more about myself and the world around me.

Hello,
I am working on a textbook on the use of technology in music education, and I would like to use one of your photos in my book. The image is located at http://dayintheclassroom.edublogs.org/files/2011/01/Stack-of-Ipads-1vl2mjn.JPG, and shows a stack of iPads in boxes.
Please let me know if I can use your photo, and if so, how you would like me to cite the photo.
Sincerely,
Chris Russell
