Are you paying attention?

Since most of today's students can appropriately be labeled as "Digital Learners", why do so many teachers refuse to enter the digital age with their teaching practices?

This presentation was created in an effort to motivate teachers to more effectively use technology in their teaching.

Please see http://t4.jordandistrict.org/payattention to learn how you can become a better teacher.

web2.0 in 5 minutes




According to Wikipedia, Web 2.0 is a term describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies (tagging).

I am really enjoying this blog, there are so many educational ways of blogging with my students, and colleagues. I am looking forward to the upcoming school year so I can bring along all the new tools and ideas I have gained at Cambridge College this summer...thank you Professor Joyce...

Happy Friday

I am hoping to be able to use my blog for the upcoming school year. Many of the free tools available to educators are not utilized to their full potential. Blogging can be used for writing, and editing the students work. Blogs have become a means for educators, students, and administrators to interact more effectively than ever before.

EIT 640

Once again,
I am blogging for a class that I am taking at the NITE program (National Institute for Teaching Excellence) at Curry College, in Milton, Mass. It will be interesting to see what comes out of blogging this time. Education blogs are another free tool that is available for educators, students, and administrators to interact with each other via the Internet.
