The Machine is Us/ing us

I have been up early reading different blogs and drinking coffee. I was reading Blogwalker when I came across this a video. I had to share it. This is fascinating video, well made, and informative by Michael Wesch of Kansas State University. It shows how Web 2.0 will change the way we use technology in the classrooms and how students will be using technology. Web 2.0 tools such as social networking, Netvibes, blogging, tagging, RSS, and del.icio.us are becoming part of our students' and children's world and our lives.

Parents, teachers, and students will need to become familiar with these terms.

Outstanding Parent/Teacher Conferences

Wow, I am so excited and thankful with all the parents, aunts, grandparents, sisters, brothers, and etc., which attended this week’s parent/teacher conferences. We had a great time discussing school work, behavior, motivation, state testing, blogging, wikis, and Internet safety. It is a great feeling to know that the parents are behind the teachers supporting them in the many decisions that are made within a day. It is also the teacher's privilege and honor to support the parents. We work together as a team and it shows.

As the upcoming months go by, I would like to share my thoughts and opinions on several subjects. This is a blog and I welcome your responses and comments.

Looking forward to keeping you updated and informed.

November

October has been a learning month with blogs and wikis. The students are writing continuously on their articles for the newspaper. It has been great to watch them collaborate with each other. They are an inspiration to watch. This week at parent/teacher conferences I will have a lot of information to share.

Great job students!
