I’m looking forward to learning more about your class through your posts here. I find it interesting that you have modules that students can choose from. We’ll have to talk about it sometime. I think they is a lot of good in being able to have a choice.

its pretty cool that you can teach kids a little bit but they learn a lot. kids need to have their minds opened more and challenged more. with computers you learn and challenge your self everyday. if kids can learn to challenge themselves then you can learn on such a higher level.

I find this very interesting on how you are using the web to show and teach your students how to use the web. I find it easier to use the web since there is so much on there. It is much easier to use the web and i find it fun because the kids will be more interested in the web rather than learning in a classroom taking notes.

i feel that technology is extremely vital to my everyday life. However, technology during school isn’t the best. I feel that the networking in my school is not the best, because it always down which means that i can’t learn things in my advance comp apps class and read interesting blogs like this, or print out a college essay or keep myself updated with my stressful college process. I feel that computers aren’t always negative to peoples’ lives and they do keep you informed with the world and everything around you. I think it’s amazing that you use technology in the classrooms!

i do think this true, as the internet grants large access to files around the world, allowing students to learn more outside the classroom then they ever could.

I agree with this post. Schools teach from the book but if they can teach by using the technology that we use today, then the students might be more interested in the lesson at hand.

I always believed that technology should mix with education for the betterment of the students.

As I am on a two week vacation for our winter break, I have time to catch up with all my ‘old’ friends, and Jeff you were first on my list. We usually try and go to London to visit our sons, if we can afford to, but my daughter is having her second child in the next week or so, so we stayed home.
So, it is with interest that I read of your changed circumstances. I had a one day position per week, with my district but have just found out that that is going to a region employee and not a teacher now. I received the news with conflicting feelings as I loved learning from our dept what was being investigated for teaching and learning, but like you, I love the classroom. These times are so exciting where we can collaborate, connect and communicate.
So, Jeff, here is one willing partner for collaboration if you are looking for one from ‘the land down under’. All the best back in the classroom where real education and learning takes place.
