Hi Colette! Nice to meet you. I work for One World Youth Project, an organization that provides a unique global education experience to middle/high schools worldwide. We connect middle/high school classrooms with partner classrooms in other countries.

 

Check out this short video about the middle/high school student experience. Interested in getting your high school classroom involved in the 2012/2013 program year?

Hello Colette and thanks for joining our Voicethread group (actually, thanks for giving me the idea to do this). I appreciate all you share.

Hi Colette...

Thanks so much for the response and all the resources...

Not only was this my first time to attend ITSC but it was also my first education conference. Most people I met ASSUMED I was a teacher or some other certified professional. Well, I am self taught in all of this because of all the resources I have found online. I was shocked by how many teachers needed help and more resources with all of this. I just ASSUMED that they had everything they needed...

Besides being a Geek, I am a board member of our local Technology Charter School. I have to kids in the program in HS.

The reason I am even a member of classroom 2.0 is because I had a chance to meet and speak with Angela Maiers. Because of what she had to say, I decided that I should see how I can help Educators here on this site with info that I have spent the last ten years learning myself.

So, this is my continuation of what I learned at ITSC10.

Hi Collette,

Thank you for your response; I really appreciate!

Hi Colette,
I read your post on http://www.google.com/google-d-s/tour5.html#. I wanted to see if I could cite your response in my research paper for grad school on the implications of incorporating Google Apps in an English classroom. My professor asked if I could find out the date of your response (I didn't see it listed on your page). I've also tried shared presentations with students and found it very valuable. Thank you for your idea!

Hey Colette. I read the post about the Google Institute. Sounds great. I can't make it over there, but there are few Google Workshops for Educators being held in CA this summer. It would be a drive for me. Have you been to one and do you recommend it?

Hi, Thanks for the link - Google Cetified Teacher, but the application process is closed ;( . do you know if it might be open again, is this a yearly event that I can apply for next year? any idea on cost?

Hi Colette,
Thought you might be interested in some of these free online resources. You're probably familiar with most of them, but maybe you'll find something new. Unfortunately, I haven't organized them yet.

Hi Colette,
In December I had never seen a Wiki. My students and I jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back. The students are very excited to have a real audience. Please take a look at what they've created so far. RPG Maker XP Help. We would appreciate any feedback you have. Currently the wiki is protected, so you'll have to either email me your feedback or give it through Classroom 2.0.
Thanks!
Pat
