Responding to Liz Davis' survey. Looking for my CR20 start date.
I'm a 4th grade teacher who is very involved with encouraging teachers to engage in conversations about technology and what it means for education today and tomorrow. We must teach our students to live in the world as it will be when they will be our ages, not as it was when we were their ages. I also co-host a local cable TV Show called PalmBreezeCAFE where we showcase (mostly) free, useful educational websites. The show airs on TV weekly and also posts are on YouTube at: http://palmbreezeutube.notlong.com
Classroom 2.0 on PalmBreezeCAFE
On last week's segment of PalmBreezeCAFE, I showed how to "roll your own" social network with Ning. Classroom 2.0 was used as an example. I've already received nice feedback from folks who are enjoying it.

I just read your comment on Roxanne's blog, and I clicked to see your students interacting with Erika, the scientist with the beauty pageant secret - how cool! I had no idea about the "Secret Life of Scientists" so I checked that out as well. Thanks for the info!
With your work in Instructional Technology for Palm Beach County SD, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.
Happy New Year! I was wondering if you or your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. We'd really like to get more students involved from Louisiana!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
hi Lee,
I agree with the comment in your profile about teaching and learning for the future. Unless we continually work out improving our skills we tend to revert to using the way we were taught at school!
I hope you enjoy CR 2.0.
Cheers,
