13. A history class videotapes a Holocaust survivor who lives in the
community. The students digitally compress the interview, and, with the

reflection is not quick. It is a challenge and you need others to accompay you and expand your thinking. I am glad that I am being led by Wendy and Brian through some of this active reflection... i might not have dug this deep on my own.
About the hidden purposes in using technology in the class; about the absolute need for reflection on how to enhance students autonomy and learning skills through the new web tools.
Strategies and techniques are presented for incorporating interactive technology for connecting lesson concepts and engaging students in the learning process.
Strategies are provided for taking advantage of Wikis to provide opportunities for students to collaborate with other students, share what they have learned, and become a centralized online resource for educators.
An informative site for teachers trying to do more with technology in their classrooms.
The latest entry is a link to a youtube video by teachers that is a play on the K-12 21st C Learners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A-ZVCjfWf8
Both wikis and blogs provide teachers with a a dynamic process for integrating Web 2.0 technology in their science and math classes. These two types of online tools offer students a more engaging process for learning.
Both are relatively easy tools which do not require teachers or students to learn any special program tools or computer skills. Their uses and applications are only limited by the vision and purpose for helping students learn.
