    This blog is written by an early childhood teacher out of Australia. He uses it to share his experiences in his own classroom and offer ideas to other teachers or early childhood specialists from a Montessori perspective.

    This is an example of a WordPress Blog written by a teacher from Austrailia who uses this to share his experiences in his early childhood classroom. This is a great resource for anyone working in a classroom because he offers great recipes to use in activity plans and shares his ideas on how an early childhood classroom should be run form a Montessori perspective.

    The idea of this website is a great one--it allows you to create animations and work off of ones created by others. Creating animations is made very easy with DoInk. By being able to see the work of others, it's a good way to get ideas and inspiration. I think that children could have a lot of fun with this; however, the content of the site isn't very appropriate for young children in that some of the animations posted by others may be disturbing for them. There is even a minimum age of 13 to be able to use it. If DoInk were to make a kid-friendly site with this same idea, I think it would be a lot of fun. It's very interactive and allows for an endless amount of creativity and expression. It could be a great website for children to work on by themselves, with friends, or even family members. Once an animation is complete, it can be posted anywhere on the web. This would be great for a classroom blog or to share with family members.

    http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/techtorial/techtorial037.shtml\nThis is a web version. The Title link is a text only version. This site provides step-by-step instructions for creating student blogs. I would introduce young children to blogging no earlier than Grades K-1 . This can provide young children with a creative opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas and through the web parents can easily access this journal.

    "A Wetpaint website is built on the power of collaborative thinking. Here, you can create websites that mix all the best features of wikis, blogs, forums and social networks into a rich, user-generated community based around the whatever-it-is that rocks your socks. A social website that's so easy to use, anyone can participate."\n About Us. (2009). retrieved February 28, 2009 , from WetPaint Web Site: http://www.wetpaint.com/page/about \n\n Technology has become such a great assessment and device to drive and promote learning in the classroom. I believe that it would behoove teachers to take advantages of these new tools and incorporate them in the classroom. Technology has open so many new ways to allow teachers and students to collaborate while learning, and WetPaint is the way to go. By using WetPaint, Teachers can create blogs for their classrooms; which may include, syllabus, information, assignment, etc. The students of the classroom can join the bog and post new information, ask questions, work on projects, etc. WetPaint can be used in classrooms of different ages. The teacher can disable ads and other information that children may not need to see. Parents can also read the blogs. This allows a chance for parents to know what their children are learning and promote these ideas at home. WetPaint is can become child-directed, if the teacher is will to make it that way. If teachers allow children a chance to learn about and experience this in the classroom, WetPaint can become a very child-directed technology. The possibilities are endless with using WetPaint.

    This site provides teachers with lesson ideas that are technology based. Teachers will find this site useful because for each activity it provides an overview of the lesson, goals, and materials needed. The site also includes detailed instruction on how to implement the activity.I really enjoyed that the site was easy to navigate and provided a lot of in-depth ideas. I will definitely use this site in my future classroom.

  • we’re living in a visual culture
  • benefits of positive visual stimulation
  • Even very young children, when encouraged, have the ability to express their complex emotional lives visually.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • until the second or third grade a child’s predominant means of self-expression is drawing.
  • But when they’re just beginning to write, they often rely on their drawings rather than their writing to convey the meaning of the story.
  • the need to attend to our neglected physical and visual surroundings
  • and the need we all feel to articulate and communicate something relevant about our personal and communal lives.
  • thirty years of thinking about how we learn, and how we express ourselves with images.
  • when I demonstrated how the camera worked to the people I wanted to photograph, everyone, myself included, felt more at ease.
  • Their desire to be photographed was as strong as their desire to photograph.
  • The children’s pictures were more complicated and disturbing than mine — and, I began to realize, much closer to what it felt like to be there.
  • Merton’s photograph reflects that fear.
  • Their pictures and writings made for an uncompromising look at the problems they faced.
  • It’s unlikely that the young people would ever have written what they did without the pictures to prompt them (Kathy’s writing came from the beautiful landscape photographs she’d made), and the pictures would have been difficult to decipher without the stories to accompany them.
  • their photo-essays were a starting point for acknowledging and discussing, in their own voices, a very tough predicament. (
  • how photography and writing stimulated one another. Many of the students I worked with had trouble writing; they would labor painfully over a sentence or two. But when they worked from a photograph that had something to do with their own lives, especially a picture they had taken themselves, they were able to write more — and what they wrote about was their own experiences.
  • Asking them to write about the subject they were going to photograph, then asking them to make a list of images suggested by their writing — this was a way to help them organize their picture-taking before they went out to shoot.
  • These children had never seen each other’s neighborhoods, certainly not each other’s homes or families. They were essentially strangers to each other.
  • When the students brought back pictures of their families and communities, each child tried to explain what was going on in the pictures, and the others eagerly asked questions.
  • teachers rarely come from the same community as their students. Photographs can give them a glimpse into their students’ lives.
  • Photography is perhaps the most democratic visual art of our time. For most of us, picture taking is a part of our family lives. We don’t need a particular talent, like the hand-eye coordination necessary for drawing, to render what we look at. Even children and adults unfamiliar with photography can make photographs of what they see and imagine. For those of us who have used cameras, photography offers a language that can draw on the imagination in a way we may never have thought possible before.
