Teachers Really Do Inspire

The teachers at BHS were surprised by the student population this morning before school, as there were hundreds of hand made signs from students expressing their appreciation for their teachers.  It was really touching.  I am not someone that expresses their feelings but it really did hit me.  Better yet, I found a personalized note from a couple of my students.  They made a sign with a QR code...HOW COOL IS THAT?  They got this idea from an assignment that I experimented with in class but I did not show them how to create one.  They figured this out on their own.  When I scanned the QR code, it was a very heartfelt message.  (I really needed that!)  You just do not know how and when you affect your students.  This is why I do what I do!  Teaching is a great profession!  (You never know what the day is ever going to shape up to be!)

  6. Craig,
    Your scavenger hunt using QR codes obviously had an impact on your students. I bet every time they see one, the will think of you! I am particularly impressed they took the initiative to create something that you found so meaningful. Isn’t it great when kids get it!
