I'll tell you problem I've been having, though. I have a Treo 680 smart phone which uses the "Blazer" browser and I'm having connectivity problems with it. For example, I keep a to do list on…"
Mariam Raza replied to jbroad's discussion Suggestions for Improving Reading Fluency (grades 3-7)"Ellen! Thank you for your delightful anecdote about achieving your reading fluency mark. I agree completely -- once your reach a point where your reading is fluent -- from there on it's easy and as long as you continue to read new stuff (books,…"
Mariam Raza replied to Denise Stewart's discussion Any Ideas On Making Reading Intervention Classes Interesting for These Low Performing Students?"Hi Denise!

Mariam Raza replied to jbroad's discussion Suggestions for Improving Reading Fluency (grades 3-7)"This is strategy I used last year with a remedial 6th grade student. I had her choose one poem out of _Kingfisher Book of Children's Poetry_ by Michael Rosen (on Amazon: http://tiny.cc/48iw8) and I choose one for her -- a poem based on words…"

Mariam Raza replied to Mark Brumley's discussion Voicethread is So 2007"I'd heard of Voicethread, but I hadn't tried it until just now. I viewed a few slideshows including Michelle Pacanasky-Brock's "VoiceThread for Online Teaching and Learning" and the "Classroom 2.0" slideshow which…"
Mariam Raza commented on gmmiller's blog post Information Overload"Hi Gmmiller!
I feel the same way when I return from the conference! The way I ground myself is 1. my curriculum and 2. my students. I teach middle school language arts at small private school in Florida and we use Calvert homeschooling curriculum…"
Mariam Raza replied to Chris Fritz's discussion Wikispaces vs. PBworks (previously PBwiki)"I've been reading these discussions to find a wiki that would suit my classroom needs -- I even used the wizard on WikiMatrix to help me decide. However, I still haven't found conclusive information on which wiki is best for viewing on…"
Mariam Raza commented on Michelle Blakely's group English Teachers"Yes, very true. Google docs is more private than wikis & ning. I like that your students have a school account through Google. They understand that anything that do with that account, whether collaborative writing though google docs or sending…"

Mariam Raza replied to Da-Ib's discussion Safe Image Searching for Vocabulary Words"Nice ideas :) I was wondering if anyone found a dictionary online that let you create custom vocabulary lists, and add pictures, and notes to each entry? Any help would be appreciated :)"
Mariam Raza replied to Pamela Jackson's discussion PLNs for Students"I agree completely. I'm getting to the point as I look at the way education is heading, that teachers are a lot less hands on. I want to fully incorporate PLNs in my Language Arts classroom. I want my students to develop their own aggregation…"
Mariam Raza replied to Marie's discussion wiki ideas?"I haven't used wikis in the classroom, but I think they're an excellent tool for a collaborative research report -- which students can add information as they find it and then get together to write the final report :)"
Mariam Raza replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion Introductions"What kind of web 2.0 tools have you been using in your classroom? I'm going to be a 4th year teacher in the upcoming 10-11 school year. Last year I used quia.com to quiz my students on a grammar lesson, we used WindowsMovieMaker to create a…"
