Thanks for the responses. I'm in CA too and have experienced the same thing regarding the CST focus. I would love to see a shift towards something more meaningful like Alline's Schoolwide Goals. I don't think the two need to mutually…

My experience has been working with "Schoolwide Goals", samething really but the name helps teachers identify where we are going and helps distinguish them from the typical subject standards. These are ment to be embedded into all…

Power standards

Thumbnail
I'm curious to learn what criteria districts/schools/teachers are using to define "power" standards. Some call them "priority" or "essential" standards, but the gist is the same. Which content standards are the MUST haves vs. the nice to haves? I'm particularly interested in elementary language arts, but would still be interested to hear about other grade levels and content areas.

Jennifer Wu replied to Catherine's discussion 'Are more educators on FB, MySpace or Twitter?'
If you find any, I'd be curious to know too. I'm on FB, but it's purely personal. Twitter is beyond me. Do teachers really use it for work?

Jennifer Wu replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion 'Introductions'
Hi there, I'm a former 4th grade teacher who still supports elementary school teachers. I'd love to connect with K-5 teachers who use web 2.0 technologies with other teachers, students, or parents. Is there anything going on at this…

Hi, Jennifer. Welcome to Classroom 2.0. My name is Ken Greene and I am the general music teacher and choir director at Ridgeway Middle School in Memphis, Tennessee. I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in a classroom exchange using a web application called Voicethread. My students and I have been connecting with educators and students around the world through technology such as Classroom 2.0 and Voicethread in an effort to learn from each other, discover what we have in common, and strengthen appreciation and awareness of diverse world cultures. Voicethread is VERY easy to use and allows us to communicate with each other through text, voice, or video comments. Take a look at my page to get an idea of what we've been up to -http://www.classroom20.com/profile/KenGreene . You can also have a look at this vociethread greeting my students posted earlier this month - http://voicethread.com/#u406170.b674819.i3567443 . My school music web site is http://web.me.com/knrgreene/RMSMusicMediaNetwork/Welcome.html . Hope to hear from you! Best Regards. Ken Greene

Thanks for the blog compliment. It's definitely on the back burner for now. I have been working on a couple of wikis. One that may be helpful to you or schools you work with is http://teachingk12ells.wikispaces.com/. I think you'll also find some great people and resources here at Classroom 2.0.

Hi Jennifer and welcome to classroom20. There are many, many wonderful activities using technology going on at the level that you described. Maybe you would like to add that as a discussion as people are more likely to see the discussion, than the latest activities where your introduction comes in.
