Social Networking from a previous non-comformist
HOLY COW! I never knew the stats about students online in these groups. It was astonsihing to see them! I am just getting into the social networking world…Twitter (at home since it is not regarded as important by our IT guy) and Facebook (at home). AS I become emersed in this technology, I am seeing so much benefits to it. I am still a bit afraid of “letting myself out there”, and see that it could be easier for the kids to do. The noncomformist role could be a scary one to see kids involved in, but if I were a kid today, I could see myself in that role. I was a bit of a noncomformist myself, being on the cutting edge of technology while growing up. I think the key is education of staff, parents and students to help move us safely into the next phase of interaction!

Our November 13 session featuring Voicethread was
very exciting. My goal is to have my students motivated to learn with this intensity. Our group
includes Pre-K, Middle School and High School teachers from Two school districts. We were able to
select a common theme immediately for our assigned project. This session was a fine example of how to challenge learners to apply technology
differentially.
