It feels good to be supported by such a great group of thinkers

I did my masters in Ed Tech at University of Calgary as a distant student and thought it was a very wonderful but it was an expensive experience. I am now doing my doctorate but face to face at UofC. Check it out…

I am trying to build a supportive network in expanding and expressing what I know about teachers and technology use. My twitter name is nmstuewe.

- About Me
- I am a doctoral student in educational technology and an elementary school teacher.
Some of the questions that drive my curiosity are as follows: What is it like to be a teacher using technology to support curriculum? What is education for in the 21st Century? What do we need and expect of technology in the classroom? I wish to awaken an understanding by using reflexive, collaborative and participatory methods. I am not looking for universal truths. I want to think deeply about truth, knowledge and understanding in the digitally connected world. My question to guide my inquiry is, “how can a hermeneutic dialogue with teachers lead to a shared meaning making event and a greater understanding?" The focus of the dialogue will center around Inquiry or playful learning in their classrooms and how technology supports this.

Your desire to give teachers a voice and to draw them (us?) together as co-participants (crossing the normal barriers of classrooms behind closed doors) has so much in common with the connectedness afforded us in networks such as this one. But it also reminds me a little of the early work of Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot (The Good High School) which had a profound effect on my teaching in my earlier years. She turned sociology into the art of portraiture by opening the hearts of schools and all school people for viewing in her book and found a way to give educators a voice in a very angry time. Good luck -- we need skilled listeners to help us find the common threads in what we are doing. -Sue

- HI Nancy and welcome to the mashup. If you would like to chat with a group of teachers online about this topic, let me know and I'll see if I can facilitate an online meeting. Otherwise, perhaps you can frame a few questions that are more specific and we can post them for others to respond to. -Sue

- Hi Nancy --
It's great to find more Canucks in here in CR 2.0. You might want to join a group called "Canadians Mashup". If you join, please use the Welcome forum at http://www.classroom20.com/group/canadianmashup/forum/topics/welcome-to-canadian-mashup to introduce yourself., and then add me as a Colleague.
I've been reading up on "hermeneutic dialogue" and my source says it's a dialogue in which one party (text) is passive and unchanging unless modified by the reader. I'm not sure how this term pertains to a dialogue with teachers. Can you clarify? It sounds interesting.
