Teaching 6th and 7th graders proper internet usage is of course one of my top priorities as a technology educator yet I find myself still pondering wether my school should allow students access to Youtube. Currently e have access and it is one of the many reasons I took this particular position. Open technology, Yeah! Recently we have implemented a new eportfolio system at my school district

I am sometimes amazed at how far technology has actually taken us. For me, I could not have gotten my masters degree without distance learning. I finished my M.ed and never even saw the campus. It is amazing the relationships you can build just by using online tools such as blogs, wikis, or educational tools such as moodle or blackboard. I even had one teacher teach the entire class via a wiki (

This week I have found myself pondering/wondering the best way to teach 21st century skills to students.. How does one go about introducing the true concept of online collaboration through blogging and social networking to 7th grade students?My students will create their own blog sites next week via Mahara.. Should I give them guided discussion topics?? How does a teacher go about teaching 7th

Well as blogging time comes and goes, my love of reading and the web 2.0 movement has remained the same. I just can't get enough. With that said I just had to say how amazing , Reinventing Project Based Learning by Suzie Boss and Jane Krauss is. What an enlightening book to teachers young and old. I highly recommend it. I think project based learning is truly authentic and helps our students

I find that I have left the web 2.0 arena for a while. 2 things have caused my short departure. The first is my last class for my M.O.E in computer technology education, Research and Design, a very time consuming class indeed. The most time consuming class I have ever taken actually.The second is my first full time teaching position. I am teaching computer technology but I am not. I have a

Just had to give a huge thanks to the maker's of Chunk IT, by tiger logic. What a great time saver and amazing tool. For those of us finishing up our Master's Degree or looking for great content. This tool is a real time saver. Instead of having to wander around endless links, the Chunk It extension for Firefox is a saving grace. It really does all of the parsing work for you. Each URL and

Well if finally happened, after many interviews and masters classes and what appeared to be a road never ending. I have landed a job at a Computer Technology Integrator/Teacher within 25 minutes of my home. I find this opportunity very exciting as the concepts are cutting edge.

I just finished reading the book "Student Successes with Thinking Maps". Wow, what a powerful tool they can be in education. While not technology, thinking maps help students to visualize their thought processes. By using these maps we are able to mimic the brains own processes. How unique and different theses processes can be for each individual is quite amazing as is the ability to reflect

Well just when I was all set to stream my 8 minute demo to NECC UnPlugged, I realized I was not available in the time slot I reserved with the two hour delay from NH to TX. So I had an idea. I recored my speed demo with camtasia and uploaded it to screencast.com, before I knew it I had a valid link to add to the NECC UnPlugged page where people can still view my presentation. Yeh. Both

I have been amazed at the amount of work I have seen produced from students in grades k-12 when they are taught and allowed access to the internet and all of it's wonderful tools. Many of us have read about the amazing accomplishments of the flat classroom project. On a smaller scale, I recently inquired about a book report a student was doing and even I being an avid technology user, expected

Ok, I am talking on a personal level, which I believe I read somewhere is not proper etiquette, but what the heck. I cannot motivate my 15 year old son, seeing his last progress report brought me to tears. We all know the type, smart as whip, doesnt have to study, but can't seem to get that homework turned in. In class work, not completed, for no apparent reason, he is not talking. I've tried

As I write this post I am working from home, and enjoy it most days. So what did I do before this? I was a substitute teacher for years. I enjoyed it so much that I will have my MOE soon and hopefully my own class. Well lately, I've been pondering if I was truly meant to be an educator, let's just say I'm at a cross road with only three classes to go. Well a couple of days ago, I ran into a

Well I'll be honest, I thought second life was just for kids. I really did. My 15 year old son borrowed my laptop last week and was shocked to see second life loaded. Before I knew it, he was showing me all of the functions, how to talk, transport, fly, buy items. Great, I thought, so why am I trying this again, oh yes, social networking, virtual worlds can also contain a strong social

In thinking about the One Child Per Laptop Program, I began to ponder if it was only low cost laptops they are using, and yes, If you read my previous blog on the topic, you know that I think XO's and the OCPL program is the bomb. So do schools use any other types of technology for one to one learning, my research concludes that they certainly do.1. Palm Pilots: The cost is down to $100 and

How can you possible find any flaws with a company and a piece of hardware that promises to bring technology to the poorest children in the world. Yes, I am speaking of the OLPC program and the XO laptops created by MIT. This low cost computer is bringing technology to poor and third world countries. They are not letting the barriers of poverty or language stop today’s students from learning

I find myself realizing that I still rely on my old habits, my old ways of doing things. I still create my documents in word, and my spreadsheets in excel, directly on my laptop. I have 40 page paper's due for some of my master's classes yet, I keep them on a hard drive, safe and sound. So while I love to blog, love my wiki and am constantly playing with 2.0 tools, I am not always using them

Lately I've been wondering how much time is spent when we (I) write a blog post. What are we thinking about during this writing process? How do we make it so that we catch people's attention and make them not only want to read our blog posts but respond to them as well? As always, a new thought brings me to my del.icio.us account which I have populated with various posts and articles found on

The world is changing as it always does and we as educators need to change with it. That is why I am a strong believer in the 1:1 laptop programs seen in such states such as Maine. They have purchased laptops for their students and the program has been very successful. Yet they are not alone, The Reed Union School District in San Francisco has also adopted the 1:1 laptop use and have found

Well as I was getting my dose of what I consider TV news, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, I caught his interview with David Perlmutter, a professor at the University of Kansas. They were discussing his book "Blog Wars". During his interview, Mr. Perlmutter talks about the power of the Internet and blogs and their impact if any on the political process. Now I use the Internet for my needs,

I personally think a podcast is a great way to assess a student’s knowledge. Talk about alternative assessment which is more meaningful and relevant. Teacher and peer reviews can be added to the assessment process via a podcast interview on a project. The question answer format and the prompting that is required to produce the podcast would allow teachers to get a true sense of the students

I recently decided to increase my network presence and after reading many great blogs, I decided to create a page on ning, click on the picture to check out my page. Well I do like it's many capabilities. I uploaded some personal photo's, downloaded an image from flickr, added a video and my first podcast. It appear to be robust and connects you with other social networks quickly. But I

When teaching in a networked environment, passions for and uses of learning grow in a way that has little to do with demographics. Therefore the flexibility provided by the educators becomes especially important and the new meaning of access to education is quite individual enabling individuals in making their own decisions regarding their private and public lives. And in making these decisions

To me it is the network I am creating with my online presence. It is the many people who have decided to follow me on twitter and those I have decided to follow. It’s the really cool teacher from Wisconsin that liked my blog and keeps in touch. It is my wiki, my network is becoming a part of my everyday living.

I'm adding more thoughts on the article“Web 2.0 a Social Movement” by William Birdsall. In reading the article again, I found the following: “Web 2.0 has increased the participatory role given to users of the Web in its development and use. Tim O’Reilly, who is often given credit for coining the term Web 2.0, talks about development principles that include: “an architecture of participation;”

I just found this article on "Web 2.0 as a Social Movement" and I had to share it. In thinking about web 2.0 and learning networks, I found this link from a previous grad course I took.

I really enjoyed the presentation by Clarence Fisher, who's presentation I found on the K12 online conference 2007 website. The foresight it takes to see the changes needed in our attitudes towards education is very inspiring to see. I think that we do need to change our attitudes about how we teach our curriculum. He states that it is our thoughts about how we educate our students that must

Well, If you have never had the chance, every educator interested in technology integration and concerned with the obstacles found in school administration, restriction on access, how to complete a task that is more meaningful to your students, then I highly recommend the presentation by Brian Cosby on Turning Obstacles into Opportunities. This presentation shows how students who are weak in

With one semester left towards my masters in computer technology education, I am starting to wonder if I made the right choice. I know I did for me. I love technology and I love to teach. I used to be an Unix engineer so it all made sense. Other passions include science, but just didn't make sense as I am so comfortable and interested in technology. Well, as I research technology in school

It is my hope to contribute to a new thought rather than be redundant. I started thinking about this after reading a blog from BudtheTeacher a week or so ago. So who are we when we are online, what prompts us to make the choices we make about what information we do and do not post online? Am I making the completely wrong choice in having my name, state, and school in my profiles? I wonder.

So what are they, and what do they do? What is there purpose? Podcasts allow us to communicate via a whole new medium over the internet, our voice. Not just our written words but our actually voice with its inflections, monotones and levels of intensity or excitement. According to Wikipedia, the definition of a podcast is: " A podcast is audio or visual content that is automatically

In reading about the Horizon Project by Victoria Davis (AKA "CoolCatTeacher"). I noticed that while doing this incredible project with her 5th grade students, the project scope included a web 2.0 tool called Grazr, hmm, ok, I thought, I'll take a look, three days later and WOW! What a powerful tool Grazr and widgets can be. I am happy and amazed. I created everything I look at including

The Use of Wiki’s in the Classroom The article Uses and Potentials of Wikis in the Classroom really helps to show the power of wiki’s in the classroom. Click the title to view the article.

My thoughts on media sharing: The Role of Emerging Technologies I think media sharing is really exciting. Emerging interactive media enable new types of educational representations and contexts for creating, sharing, and mastering knowledge. This is driving major shifts in the teaching and research, yet finding the right sites can be very important for K-12 educators. For example, if you go

Wow, just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it just keeps getting better all of the time. I installed del.icio.us this week and never realized how many bookmarks I have! Wow. After the initial import of my bookmarks to del.icio.us after a few key words and viola, my bookmarks are so easy to find and from anywhere I happen to be connected. How many times have I been at work or at

I think there are awesome. You are no longer searching for information; the information is coming to you. For our students, this is a huge advantage. They can stay atop of the most current information regarding any subject they might be researching or is of interest to them. Not only do you have the latest and greatest, you have different opinions from all around the world. Students are no

To me, blogs are an open forum. It is a way to share ideas and thoughts online. It is a way of journaling, asking questions, and posting general opinions. As I have started blogging more often and watching the Google reader, I have already learned a great deal about a variety of subjects from dogs to technology to methodology. I think blogs are a way to collaborate and share ideas as well as

I would like to begin my discussion on connectivism with the following quote found on http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm: Knowledge is growing exponentially. In many fields the life of knowledge is now measured in months and years. Gonzalez (2004) describes the challenges of rapidly diminishing knowledge life: “One of the most persuasive factors is the shrinking half-life of

Well, out of the mouth's of Babes. Ok, my babe is 15 but his is still my baby. He's sitting there bopping his head, totally plugged into his laptop when he says mom "listen to this", my friends just cut this "riff" and it's got a really cool beat. So of course I said, Wow, I'm surprised an audio file emailed over so quickly", he says " no they linked it to their website while they recorded and

I am very excited about this class! You have already given us some neat tools to play with and learn and I love to play. I think that blogs, wikis and the podcast are certainly the way of the future. As an upcoming technology teacher, the possibility of allowing my students the opportunity to have true collaboration where they are reading ideas, and truly take the time to absorb these ideas

I found this web site to be exactly what we need in technology education. A dedicated web site that wants to ensure that our students are indeed ready for the challenges of the 21st century. That our students and teachers are ready for the technology of today and tomorrow. The website itself has a wealth of information and resources for educators. It appears from the partnerships and

I found the article on School 2.0 to be very interesting. It truly brings home a lot of the concepts we are currently being taught in the Computer Technology Education concentration. School 2.0 reminds me of wiki's and blogs. Each facilitates community discussions which is the underlying concepts behind School 2.0. It is very much like an implementation plan where all parties must be involved
