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.
