jamie hill on 30 Sep 09Why do they not know how to set up an email account on their own? This should have been an easy task for 21st century students.

Heather Apostolopoulos on 30 Sep 09Not for my kids... a lot of them do not have computers at home. I teach at-risk, low social economic students.

jamie hill on 30 Sep 09Fair enough.

Heather Apostolopoulos on 30 Sep 09I had to laugh when you wrote that. This afternoon I got all my kids in and did a trial homework assignment with just gmail. They were very enthusiastic... it was a good day

Randy Ziegenfuss on 03 Oct 09I think it is great that you keep plowing through the messiness of using these tools. So often, teachers (and administrators) are uncomfortable with messiness. What can you expect though with NCLB? Don't make any mistakes. And if things aren't perfect, there will be hell to pay! Keep going, Heather!

Randy, I now have a meeting with head of tech at my high school as well as Tom Drago( head of technology for Easton sd. )Oh boy, my principal wants me to show them what I'm doing. Hope this doesn't fall all over me and the rest of the English department is going to have to stop using gmail and google docs, since they all been using it but never asked permission. The good thing is my enthusiasm and my kids'. They love it. I'll post my wordle experience tomorrow( was wonderful). After I took this job, I was so worried about to reach these kids. Thanks for showing me a way and for your support!
