Teachers connecting to teachers

Thing #2

I am so fasinated and awed by the Web 2.0 video. I had to call my adult children and talk to them about this. I know I love to teach and I now have the awesome responsibility to prepare my students for the future that is changing so rapidly. I know I am fortunate to teach at a school that very much embraces the idea of technology. My mind spins as I think of all the possibilities for learning. I know we must also consider the safety of our students as they navigate all this information available to them. I have already utilized blogging with my reading classes this year and it has been a fun experience but I loved how it connected all of my classes. We even shared across campuses. I have always enjoyed getting together with other teachers to share ideas and technology allows us the opportunity to do this. I plan to do so much more to connect my students with their own learning styles and I think technology makes them learn to be lifelong learners and global citizens.

I really liked the reading blog that you did with your classes this year. My students enjoyed connecting with another campus and sharing ideas about the book that we were all reading. One of the other sixth grade teachers used blogs in her English classes this year, and it was amazing to see how many of her students already had their own blogs. So often I feel like I’m a step or two behind my students when it comes to technology!
