Attended a session sponsored by Apple yesterday entitled “Tour of 21st-Century Learning.” It was a great day. I knew about a lot of the tools but they not only focused on the tools, but focused on project-based learning with the tools and integrating areas of the curriculum. We, as students, did research that we posted on [...]

As I sit here snuggled in on New Years Eve watching the DaVinci Code, I think back on what I have accomplished with my blog this past year. Well, looking back through my archives, I can’t say I did much with it — but that is ok. Created my blog in June but until November, [...]

This could be my last post of the year on my blog so I wanted to thank the blogging community for all the great blog posts. I have only entered the world of Web 2.0 this past summer but I can’t begin to say how much I have learned. I subscribe to about 20 blogs [...]

Will Richardson’s blog points out a great tool that can be used in the classroom — Pageflakes. Working in an elementary school, I can see so much potential. A teacher can create a page for the students to use when doing biographies, at various math levels, studying the solar system, studying the regions of the [...]

David Warlick posted a little scenario of three science teachers discussing what blogging is and how to use it. I think it is a wonderful introduction that I will use when I give my training on blogging to the teachers. It can give teachers an idea of what a blog is, some ways to integrate it [...]

In the back of my mind was the fact that I must put together a training session and handout for the students and teachers before we allow them to blog. Seeing more discussion on this subject in David Warlick’s recent post I e-mailed my friend and work associate, Beth, who is an Instructional Technology Specialist for [...]

Next week begins the new school year and although I haven’t been blogging recently, I have been working “behind the scenes.” I have started using Flock, the Internet browser tool that allows me to upload photos directly to my account with Flickr, an online photo management and sharing application and also submit blog entries directly from [...]

Which one to choose??? I like the ability to create multiple blogs under one account with Blogger, but I think there is more functionality for use in the classroom with Edublogs. Therefore, we will go with Edublogs for school year 2006-2007. I will be creating my own small “how to” document for the teachers. Can’t [...]

I created the same blog on both Blogger and Edublogs. Why? Glad you asked – I couldn’t decide which one would be better for use by teachers and in the classroom. This way, I can test them both out and see which one to use or maybe use both depending on the purpose of the blog. [...]

As I continue my research on blogs and ways I can bring this into my school, I am excited about all the different uses — some that will use the full capabilities of blogs and some that will be for the main focus of just getting started. Teachers can create their own blog to journal [...]
