I'm pretty sure my students have learned more in this unit, than all of the other units I've ever taught. My students from last year keep asking why they didn't get to build a Holocaust museum. They feel a little ripped off.

Intercultural responsiveness is not something we reach; rather, it's something we explore. As we explore, we begin to learn more about ourselves. As we learn more about ourselves, we ultimately learn more about others. And that is what this journey is about.

Planning is imperative for any technology initiative - iPad or otherwise. You need to ensure that you clearly understand and communicate how the technology integrates with your overall pedagogical objectives. Too many institutions purchase technology and then search for ways to utilize it ... or leave it collecting dust on the shelf.

Dave Truss on 11 Jan 11

The two things that have had the biggest impact on me as a teacher, are blogging and Twitter. Blogging helps me to realize what I actually think. It's the digital version of talking things out. And Twitter keeps me fed. For the past four months, the learning curve has been so sharp, that at times, I feel like I'm drinking from a fire hose. But it has challenged me, and made me a better teacher.

I branded myself to have an online identity of which I’m proud. This is an important skill to teach students. Equally important is conveying the idea that being safe and responsible online does not mean hiding your identity but rather defining it and owning it.

Apart from that, writing comments forces us to pay more attention to what we are reading and develop our own ideas further. Sometimes when I decide to write a short comment, I end up writing long and complex comments dealing with lots of issues, and I just don't know how I got there...To sum up, quality comments help us to become better bloggers and strengthen community links.
