    Top 100 Teachers on Twitter & Top Education Blogs We have some great blogs for teachers Top Summer Blogs for Parents and Teachers Author Bio: Sophia Bruun is a graduate of Vanderbilt class of '15. Psychology major. Baltimore native. Moved to Boston in May to work with entrepreneur Woody Klemmer (founder, Vanderbilt '13) and his brother Teddy (operations manager, Vanderbilt '15) to build GladlyDo - Boston's premeir odd jobs service. Her role in the company is diverse - from social media marketing (twitter, facebook, pinterest, tumblr, instagram), design (logo, flyers, t-shirts etc), to working with the web developer on building our vision for the full site (launching July 2014), among numerous other tasks. She has always had a love of learning - both inside the classroom and out, and believe that hard work and passion leads to success. Please Share!

    The capacity to learn is our greatest gift. Without learning, spoken and written languages would not exist. The towns and cities that evolved from our ability to communicate would never have come to be. We would not bask in the same artistic and scientific glory that characterizes our species. Without learning, our brains - the creative engines that drive society forward - would be utterly useless. Human history would dissolve into a muddle of archaic survival tactics, with end results landing far from greatness.

    Instead we are blessed with the ability to take in information, acquire new skills, and use our knowledge to bring about positive change. As such, learning comes in many forms, from academia taught inside the classroom, to practical knowledge learned outside of school hours. The process of learning is particularly important in the developing years, from childhood to emerging adulthood, when the brain is in its most plastic form.

    From Fall through Spring students and teachers work diligently to achieve at the utmost level of academic greatness. Unfortunately in the Summer half of the school year’s lessons are often forgotten. Our sharpened minds are dulled by the hot summer sun and lazy days at the pool. However, this does not have to be the case. In fact, there are many opportunities in the summertime to continue learning. From tutoring to working a job, young people can expand their repertoire of experiences that lead them towards success.

    In Boston, there are great tutors at the ready in the summertime, here to help with any lesson your child needs extra help in. Academic achievement has never been so easy.

    But how about real world experience? Practical skills? Out of the box learning?

    That’s where we, GladlyDo, come in.

    GladlyDo hires students and recent graduates to get your to-do’s done. Working for GladlyDo is an incredible opportunity for emerging adults to have a paying job that teaches real-world lessons, from learning to put IKEA furniture together to improving interpersonal communication skills.  As an odd job service, you never know what you’ll be doing. When faced with a challange, you learn to arise to the occasion. You learn how to be professional, gain credibility as a trusted worker, and make connections with your community along the way.

    40% of millennials are unemployed. We want to change that. But first and foremost we want to deliver the best odd job concierge service out there. Thus, we have poured time and energy into research and planning, to come out on the other end with a safe and reliable system to deliver our services to greater Boston.

    Along with an application form, we require that all employees are referred, interviewed, and background checked. Once a job is completed, clients have the opportunity to review their workers to ensure accountability is upheld.

    The goal is to improve everyone’s quality of life - by giving our clients more free time to get stuff done, or to simply relax, while also providing emerging adults with a great learning experience with the added bonus of getting paid.

    Remember - just because it is summer does not mean the learning needs to stop! We hope you are as excited as we are about GladlyDo’s potential as a resource for the Boston community - for emerging adults and adults alike.

    Please check out our current page (full site launching soon!) to request jobs and find out more about GladlyDo at www.gladlydo.com.

  • 5 Lessons from Creating “The Freedom Trail Pop Up Book”

    My Town Tutors is making a huge commitment for the 2014 – 2015 school year to be the #1 tutoring resource for parents and teachers in America. Our motto is “Teachers are great tutors!” Parents love the fact that every teacher in our directory is a teacher!

    About Denise D. Price: Having seen twenty countries on five continents, Denise has a certified case of wanderlust. Inspiring a love of history, architecture, and world culture, her travels have been a major influence on how she views the world, reacts, interacts, designs and breathes.
    Denise was introduced to the paper arts over twenty years ago at a summer arts intensive. And her passion for the paper was stoked and has burned ever since. Holding an MBA in International Business, she combines her astuteness for business and her eye for detail to create marketable and interesting art.

    Last month I launched a Kickstarter Campaign for “The Freedom Trail Pop Up Book” (CLICK HERE to see the campaign). Since then I’ve been talking a lot about why I created the book. But it’s not just the why that’s important, but the HOW.

    Almost 5 years ago I visited Boston as a tourist. I walked The Freedom Trail and I was so inspired by its history and beauty that I needed to take a piece home to share it. Being a pop-up book collector of sorts (they were my souvenir of choice on any trip I took) I began searching for a Freedom Trail Pop Up Book. When my search came up empty I began searching for ANY Boston pop up book, but alas, I found NONE! (With some online research I found one had been created about Fenway Park, but it’s now out of print and a collectors’ item.) When I moved to neighboring Cambridge, MA later that year I decided that I would create a Boston pop-up book that captured the heart and legacy of the city. So of course, The Freedom Trail would be my subject.

    But I was not a historian. Or a paper-engineer (the official designation for people who create pop-ups). Or a professional illustrator. Or a writer. I had a lot to learn!

    Here are 5 of the biggest lessons I learned in pursuit, creation, and production of this book.

    1. How to cut, fold, score, manipulate and glue paper to create 3 dimensional shapes. I learned to become a paper engineer and the practical applications of geometric concepts like angles, planes, parallel lines, polygons and their properties along with perimeter, area and volume.  For the first time in my life (sad, isn’t it?) I actually put into practical use trigonometry and the necessity of pi (3.14159).

    2. How to mass produce something. If you ever want to go in to product design of any kind, this is a huge undertaking! I had to learn the economics of mass producing a book with materials readily available on the open market, in a size acceptable for printing at a low cost, and that would fit the “average” die cut machines on the market, mostly overseas. After THAT, I had to find a production house who would take on the project and negotiate with them about cost, production, and shipping.

    3. To appreciate and spot significant architectural details and elements of the historic buildings in Boston. I can no longer approach a building without appreciating the symmetry of the windows, the style of dormers or looking from the corner of my eye for the cornerstone.

    4. Embarking on a passion project is hard work. This may seem obvious, but until you do it yourself, you have no idea how hard it can be.  For this book I had to commit countless (seriously, I stopped counting) hours to historic research, visiting the Freedom Trail sites, studying the buildings, and of course creating the pop-ups, illustrations, and text for the book.  All of that was very hard. And then I had to figure out how to actually get the book made. That may be the hardest part. Fundraising is a huge undertaking that has lots of challenges. And, along the way, I’ve had to endure lots of rejection (mostly from publishers) and naysayers. Sometimes it seemed like finishing may not be worth all of the work. BUT…

    5. Some people really care. I have found immense kindness and genuine interest in the project from so many wonderful people along The Freedom Trail. At times, I have been overwhelmed by their continued support of the book, even though it took so long to create.  They never forgot about me and would check in periodically on the progress. Now through Kickstarter I see there’s also support for the book across the country and internationally. It’s very exciting to see something I worked so intensely for finally coming to life with engaged support!

    I’d love to be able to share the book with you too – so please CLICK HERE to see our Kickstarter video and funding page. You can pre-order your copy of the book for only $45 and there are lots of other rewards for pledges large and small.

  • Teaching…The Toughest & Most Important Job in the World

    My name is Victoria Smith, I am a professional fundraiser and a singer/songwriter from Massachusetts. I credit a lot of my talents and life ambition to my teachers. In fact, if I ever happen to win a major award for my music, I would include teachers in my “thank you” speech.
    Well, to back up a little…
    I grew up in a dysfunctional home environment and school was in many ways the “happy place” for me. I looked forward to school on most days. I can name every elementary, middle, high school and college teacher that I had and I remember the impact each had on my development.
    To all the teachers out there, there is at least ONE kid in your class who will take something important away from your class and carry it with them forever. Trust me. I was that kid.
    My english teacher who recognized my passion for writing and encouraged me to work even harder at it. My biology teacher who shared his experience in the Peace Corps and inspired me to travel the world, and I did. It was often my teachers who gave me the attention, confidence and recognition that I needed to make progress and to become a good role model and citizen. I could go on…
    Teachers are so much more than teachers: they are mentors, inspiration, role models, and the ones who give “the extra nudge” that provides a happy place that the one kid sitting in the back row needs.
    It is never to late to thank a teacher. Why not write a “teacher appreciation letter” to the ones who made a significant impact on your life?
