- About Me
- Formerly a Reading Writing Center teacher-coordinator, I now teach the AVID elective at Cypress Creek High School. To this position, I bring my experience in the Reading Writing Center where one side of the center was a classroom demonstration space where I offer content-based and sometimes technology-rich literacy lessons to teachers from across campus and the other side of the center was a literacy help center run by and for students. The AVID elective supports AVID students in all of their content classes. I am also a literacy consultant for Dr. Janet Allen's Literacy Leadership Collaborative. I have presented on literacy topics (reading, writing, data driven instruction and more) to teachers and districts nationally for the more than a decade. As a curriculum writer and project leader for Plugged-In to Reading and Plugged-In to Nonfiction, our latest reading kit, Plugged-In to Nonfiction for high school students was recently published by Recorded Books. Lastly, I enjoy writing as well and currently write for Stenhouse Publisher's Newslinks e-newlsetter .

The World (Wide Web) is Wide and Wonderful
Classroom 2.0 is a place for me to explore digital tools and all things Web 2.0. I'm using this blog to learn about new digital tools and digital tools that are merely new to me. Was it Wendel Berry who said, "the world is wide and wonderful and you never know what you need to know." I'm living and blogging that now.

Feeds
My friend Ryan once told me, "it's all about feeds." This was probably 2 years ago and we were talking about Web 2.0 things and the semantic web--ideas which like cloud computing are a stretch for my imagination, even now. I understand more about feeds, but I'm no expert. Whe… Continue

Listening In
I'm working on a curriculum project, Plugged-In to Nonfiction with my literacy mentor, Janet Allen, this week, so I was not able to go to San Antonio for NECC. However, I have been dipping in as often as possible and I was thrilled to list… Continue

Learning Live Online
I'm still chuckling about last night's Second Life session. Jane Krauss asks audience members to raise their hands and what do I do? Jump up and down. Ah well, I'm new, a newbie as they say and I have a lot to learn in Second Life and in the Web 2.0 world. Everyone begins somewhere, right?… Continue

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack
I love all of your technology tools on your page! I am slowly but surely trying out different ones in my class. If you ever have any great tech tool recommendations, I would appreciate it:) I am always thinking about they can be used in our English class. BTW, what does AVID stand for?
With exploration of Web 2.0 tools I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's web based power point viewing platform.
Thanks for attending the SL session last night- Lovely to have you. Check out last night's EdTechTalk from TeachersTeachingTeachers-- It was a better event!

I have played with it here at work with our group. I don't have anyone at home to try it with. I would be gladf to try it with you. I haven't checked Classroom2.0 since I thought it was blocked by OCPS.
