    Works well with any age level. Why not begin this pedagogical practice in the early years?

    "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.

  • the larger picture painted by today's statistics is hard to miss: Media is embedded in children's lives and dominating hours of their days, while reading is trailing behind. The next trick is to tease out what I call the Three C's: the content, context and the individual child. What kinds of media -- what TV shows, which online games? Who's with them as they read and play, and how is that experience integrated into what they are learning or interested in? And what ages and dispositions of children are drawn to what kinds of media for what reasons? Until we can answer these questions, we will continue to be in the dark about the impact of media and its complicated connection to literacy among the next generation.

    Raises some interesting questions- what is a book? Is a "digital book" on the computer a book? Is a video version of a book a book?

    Kids ask lots of questions, right? "Do fish sleep?" "Why do balls bounce?" Sometimes the answers are hard to explain! I came across this website called Whyzz.com. While the site describes it for parents, I think it would be a wonderful resource for teachers, especially when children are engaged in investigative studies. Try it out!

    I used this during a preconference session on assessment at NAEYC. It is awesome! Participants are able to use their cellphones to respond to live polling questions. There are open-ended responses and multiple choice options. After messages are sent, the results appear immediately on the screen. The polls can be inserted into powerpoint slides. It's a great way to get participants engaged!

    Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I tried to send the plan through the Listserv and I'm not sure if everyone was able to get it. Please follow this link to see a draft of the Tech on Deck plan for the Orlando conference. Last week, I had the pleasure to speak with Stephanie Olmore, director of NAEYC quality enhancement initiatives, regarding "Grandes Comienzo, Futuros Brillantes and the Tech on Deck. She mentioned that NAEYC is exploring to do things differently for the Orlando conference and that they would love to hear from us about how we can make Tech on Deck an event within the conference. I asked her about the possibility of getting donations though NAEYC that are designated to cover the cost of Tech on Deck and she said that this might be doable as they are exploring different things. She said that her team will start having conversations in January and that it will be helpful to have our proposal by then. I would like to have your feedback on the draft plan by December 27. Guiding questions/items: Venue (a room, exhibit hall, throughout the conference) Possible donors Possible speakers Who will or can staff this (volunteers, school, university in Orlando)? Let the discussion begin!

  • 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.

    Wendy Ewald shares from lessons learned working with children, using photography to express themselves. Lots of interesting ideas.
