Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog - 7 views

  •  
    Upon researching a 'sharing teacher' - a teacher that is sharing what they do online, I stumbled aimlessly across a weblog entitled Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog. This weblog is from a class of 6 year olds in Canada and not only shares pictures and special activities going on within the classroom, i.e. Pancake Day, but also invaluable ICT resources such as Videos Just For Us and Learning with Twitter. The absolute BEST thing about this weblog though is that the 20 students in the class and actively involved within the ICT. They can comment and add any discussion to the page they like about their learning and the teacher provides an individual page for each student which they are solely responsible for keeping up to date, and posting evidence of their learnings. This is an exceptional idea of incorporating ICT into student learning as well as provide student parents and families an artefact in which they can see exactly their students learning and development.

  • It is very difficult for most to get to a meeting on the 25th floor without an elevator

      It is astonishing to think just how many ICT's there are in our world!! Before partaking in this course and viewing this page I would have never thought of stairs, an elevator or even a car as forms of Information and Communication Technologies.. The truth is that these forms of technologies, as well as the copious amounts of other ICT's in our world are so advanced, substantial, and vital for living and learning in the 21st century. 
  • It is very difficult for most to get to a meeting on the 25th floor without an elevator. And it is perhaps even more difficult for most to get to work each day if work is 30 miles from home, unless we use a car.
