That might have presented a daunting task for those not ready to challenge themselves as well as their students! Beginning with a webpage and learning from there was a good way to learn to navigate the world wide web to your advantage. I plan to start a blog in my class if there is not one already for my school. And I want to include my students' parents in all aspects; I think their support and awareness is a key factor! <br />Your emphasis on the audience for these young writers really stuck out in my mind. Like artists whose artwork is on display, there is a sense of confidence, accountability and intellectual participation that evolves in the process of writing for publication. Children need that affirmation.<br />Thank you for your foresight and determination that has taken the education community by storm. You are an inspiring innovator!Gretchen McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091077343569630635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172104725960506438.post-34013271508124806142011-04-10T20:46:36.582-05:002011-04-10T20:46:36.582-05:00I hope to be a teacher that puts technology to use...I hope to be a teacher that puts technology to use and maybe even more than Mrs. Cassidy.

She does an excellent job of getting her students excited and motivated to learn by the use of blogs and wikis.

You could use mostly the same ideas on blogging or twitter to find information from all over the world. When you have students typing up there work you can see them grow in proper English language and writing from the beginning of the year to the end. By stating we are handicapped in ways such as technology makes a good point on if we don't grow as teachers and educators then our students will falter later in life because they will be behind. By letting kids post on blogs and other Internet pages then they will fill better because they feel like they are writing something someone wants to read instead of wasting paper then no one sees it. Some off her best points were new teachers using technology to get information from the older or more experienced ones. If we work together as one in schools then as teachers we can get our students more prepared and we also can be ready for anything that gets put in our way.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509165547945350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172104725960506438.post-26453923489634654822010-11-08T18:25:55.328-06:002010-11-08T18:25:55.328-06:00I really enjoyed listening to Mrs. Cassidy.

When the computers were given to Ms. Cassidy she put them to good use by setting up her student to learn how to use them.

It allows ease of access to parents who are sometimes busy when there are parent teacher nights and it also allows for more of an involvement and understanding with your child's education. I think this was great! I wish more teachers would have a classroom site for parents to visit from home.

I think it great for the teachers, the parents, and the students. The students will be learning to use a blog and be excited about the different ways to learn. It is a great way to keep up with students work. A blog acts as an electronic portfolio. It is great for parents as well because I feel as if they will be more involved in their students work if they can see what they are doing.Leigh Setserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101665078963544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172104725960506438.post-79940919191605370782010-03-31T16:01:13.014-05:002010-03-31T16:01:13.014-05:00Very good it would have been great to experience t...Very good it would have been great to experience this particular skype with Mrs. Cassidy and Mrs. Hines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172104725960506438.post-56902309216557273392010-03-11T17:06:54.399-06:002010-03-11T17:06:54.399-06:00By using Skype in the classroom we make learning m...By using Skype in the classroom we make learning more meaningful and can take ownership of it.
