Love that jargon

It's all in the way you say it.  NYC Educator let us in on a secret with his Amaze Your Friends post.  If you want to just wow people, check out some of the educational jargon that will do just that.  Check out his post and the Educational Jargon Generator that is just waiting for your perusal.  I mean, people will just be in awe of any teacher who spouts off some of this dizzy lingo.  It's also perfect for reports and lesson plans.

One of my good teacher buddies is a great gal with the gift of gab.  She can throw out educational terms that are unknown to most of us.  It's easier to pretend we understand than to ask questions, so most of the time we just nod like those dogs mounted in the backs of cars.

Who would have thought that someone would put such a choice group of words on one website?   It's worth getting some jalapeno cheetos and taking the time to add a few new terms to your repertoire of educational buzzwords just to impress those who need impressing.

Hey, Veggie Mom.  We had a great time.  It is exciting to be back and to check out everything going on with my friends.  Thursday is a free day for me.  I have the whole day to just "veg out" so I'll be checking out those Pop'rs.

Wow! I can't wait to get back to school so I can...recontextualize real-time instruction...for my students and...generate standards-based networks...with my team members. Gee, this is actually kind of ridiculously fun (sorry, I'm easily amused :^).

In the old days when I was getting my Masters and ESL endorsement, it used to take me a full week to get my language skills back up to college standards.  You just get so used to talking to kids.  I love this site.  I put it on my favorites.
