I am pumped about integrating more technology into my job. I especially want to use/share more technology in the staff development workshops I develop and present. I think it is a non-negotiable in today's educational practice. I was very moved and inspired by the YouTube video from the students' perspective.
I enjoyed David Warlick's article, "A Day in the Life of Web 2.0." I LOVED the integration of disciplines with Mr. K's P.E. classroom and Ms. S's classroom! Blogs offer so many opportunities for higher level thinking, and I am getting to experience them first hand. I have always wanted to blog, and this is giving me a welcomed jump start. I want to learn about Wikis! I'm a little embarrassed that I don't know what they are.
I thought it was great (in the article) that the superintendent was so involved in the different technologies being implemented.
I look forward to learning more about the resources available in Web 2.0 for my job, for teachers, and most of all, students.
I think it is great Russ, that you are going to use what you learn in your staff development workshops that you teach! I have signed up for your Gift Training, but I am on the waiting list. I am also excited to learn about Wikis and just what they are. Isn't it great how technology brings us closer to our students, fellow teachers and community!
