Today is the first day of the Web 2.0 class, and we are starting out by blogging.
My mind is spinning from this morning. I want to check out all the sights and tools we saw in the power point.
I am enjoying the Daniel Pink book. I got a lot out of the inservice dvd we saw, but the book delves into his ideas much further.
The blog from Bangkok was really interesting. I liked the way she discussed collaboration and really opening the lines of communication for her students. My niece is in an elementary school in France, and I'd like to use skypes and/or video conferencing with my students and her classmates. I want to talk with Karen about her "Team" project.
As for the Technology / Johnson article. I've been playing with that one all spring. One of my colleagues attended the Nassau Boces conferences and gave us this info. We are using much of this to justify new technology in the media centers. What I do find frustrating though is the question of which standards do I align my lesson plans with? These? ELA? Social Studies? All of the above?

The Bangcock Blog was very interesting to me as well because it opens doors....and opening doors to communication and collaborating with other schools in different parts of the country and world can foster growth in education and in classrooms worldwide. What a concept?!
See me about TEAM..
Might be hard to conference with France--what is the time zone difference?
When I write up a lesson plan (a formal lp), I include the following standards--in this order:
1. Library AASL
2. NYS Subject specific if it aligns to my lesson
3. NETS if tech is involved
Your lessons align first with library standards--that is what you teach and will cover most of your basic skills or book lessons. Once you move into research type lessons, they will align with certain subjects, such as SS or Language Arts.
