A good reflection for teachers.

Most of my students are kids and they love the kinds of activity that I found in this site. I believe that these activities would help them in the classroom.

Hey, this is also gorgeous to form word clouds! Have you ever tried it?

I like this simple site about paragraphs. Very concise and a good intro for teen students.

Twitter is a microblogging service just like the one we're using, Edmodo.

great analysis of why students, even being digital natives, still need to learn about information literacy.

guys, I just created this screencast to answer Marina Bonani's question. It's about how to start bookmarking. Here you go. Remember you need to install Diigo toolbar, or "diggolet". Where do you find instructions to do that? In our virtual classroom. It's all there!

A very comprehensive site on web tools for teaching

Thought-provoking. It brings the whole thing into perspective

What I am going to share here will probably be the most personal thing I have ever shared on my blog. Only 3 other people know of this and some who are skeptics will dismiss me right away. But - I promise if you stick with me to the very end, it will make sense AND it will be woven into Tech. A long time ago, a pastor I trusted was into meditation and he was leading several people through them. Being the skeptic (yes, even though my faith is strong, I still have doubts at times) I decided to give it a try. What I am sharing next was what I saw. I was sitting on a fountain and there was a gentle man sitting next to me and we began to talk about what I was afraid of. He asked me if I was ready to conquer some of my fears and I said "Yes". He advised me to look up - and there floating above me were planks with words on them….words with the fears that I indeed was dealing with. And the closest one said "Dogs". I was able to easily reach up and grab it. As I gave the gentle man the plank, I said "But I am not really afraid of dogs" and his response was "sometimes you have to go for the easy before you can go for the hard." He then asked me if I wanted to fly and I said yes and suddenly we were flying through the sky…….yet, I continually looked toward the fountain, toward the ground, toward the certain. He finally asked if I wanted to return and we returned to the fountain. He laid his head in his hands and began to cry. When I asked him why, his response was "Jennifer, I want you to fly, yet you always wish to return to where it is safe." What I am sharing with you is true - and I still deal with my fears and my wanting to be safe - but today - I want to take those 2 stories and weave them, if I may, into what our teachers are dealing with in regards to being open to tech. In the last few weeks, I have had several conversations with tech coordinators, integratrators, evangelists, ambassadors - whatever you want to call

Very interesting reading. I feel that many of you are with wings and flying high, even if sometimes we question things and just want to go back to the ground. This is totally natural, questioning, trying, feeling on the verge of giving up, giving another chance, trying a different approach...

Excellent text that will really help you understand the concept of social bookmarking and the power it holds. The text is straight to the point and easy to read.
