Elementary School 2.0

Since elementary teachers have special circumstances to deal with concerning the use of technology, I thought we could meet here to talk and to share ideas for 2.0 integration.

Hi, my name is Grace and I'm an Instructional Technology Coordinator at an elementary school in Arlington, Va. I was at NECC in D.C. the past three days and was introduced to even more Web 2.0 technologies that I look forward to exploring these really cool tools!

Hi! My name is Beth and I'm a Kindergarten teacher. I'm exploring new sites and thought I'd try this one. I'm also interested in any information on elementary summarizing and note taking. I'm doing some research on it and need some suggestions! Thanks

Hi my name is Robin and I'm a readiness first grade teacher. I just found out I will be teaching kindergarten readiness next year. Does anyone have any ideas on how to incorporate technology with kindergarteners. I already do it with my readiness/first using computers and a smart board.

Does any of you know resources about teaching in elementary schools? I'm looking particularly for teachers' blogs and sites - the more extraordinary source the better.

Hi all ... I want to invite you to take a look at a network I am starting as part of a project to involve teachers in exploring what real learning is. Tired of surveys and i think conversations are often more revealing of our beliefs as educators. REAL learning stands for REFLECTIVE ENGAGED AUTHENTIC LIFE-LONG, and we all know it when we see it. It's that look in a student's eyes, the engagement of the entire body, the passion and excitement over something new. And we all know all too well, the lack of real learning as well. Do you think schools by definition in their 19th century mass education model stifles real learning? Do you think technology might ironically be making real learning possible? How do you keep real learning happening in your classrooms? Check out the REAL Learning site and add your comments and ideas to the wiki journal, upload pix of real learning, and muse on your experiences. It would be wonderful to see the conversation and collected knowledge grow on this site.

Hi! I'm a third grade teacher in Atlanta, GA. My students are active bloggers and podcasters. They are now really into meeting online in the evenings for book club chats using dimdim. We are hoping to start a Yack Pack with our sister school in Mazabuka, Zambia (Africa) soon, so we can learn more about each other.

We love to collaborate with other schools through various projects and Skype, so if you are looking for a learning partner - let me know!

My students are really proud of their podcast and their blog, so if you get a moment to stop by and leave a comment, that would mean the world to them.

On iTunes: search "edmison" under podcasts to find ours (Eagles' Nest Radio) - They are really eager to get more reviews/ratings on iTunes.

OR you can visit our podcast page: http://blog.woodward.edu/ps_edmison/?cat=103

Blog: http://blog.woodward.edu/ps_edmison/

I look forward to learning from everyone here!

I wanted to share a great story of my daughter (4th grade) learning through the creation of her own study material. Disclaimer... this involved my own company but I think the benefits to this group are still valuable.

She was studying the states in the Northeast for a social studies exam and decided to make her own game to help. There were two significant side benefits to building the game (in addition to having a tool she could practice with in the end):

1. She had to understand the material in order to create the content. So by the time she was finished building it, she already had it mastered!

2. She could share it with all of her teachers and friends to use and study with as well.

Here's the end product - http://beta.sharendipity.com/assets/2073/

I'd love to hear your thoughts and see what you and your students can create using the same template my daughter used...
