Welcome


Three years ago I saw this picture in Newsweek magazine. I was so enthralled by the picture I emailed the Dutch photographer, Reinout van den Bergh, and ask him for permission to use the photo in a workshop I was presenting. His Dutch agent, Arjen Duijts, gave his permission then and has given his permission again to use the image in our blog.

From student blog:
Look at this boy in Cameroon, Africa and think about what you see. Think about how this boy must live. Once you have considered the life this boy must lead, look at the item in his hand that he has made out of mud. What do you think it is? What does this picture say about our society. Write your blog entry after thinking for a few minutes.

I love using primary sources in the classroom. When I was designing my students' blog site header I found tons of pictures of "old" classrooms. When I was a kid (in the mid-50s) there were 35 students in my elementary classes. I've had people tell me than in their parochial elementary classes there would be 50 students! When I first started teaching in 1971, I had 36 fifth graders in my class and didn't think a thing about it. Hard to believe in…

Hi Nancy,
I an new to this web 2.0 stuff and feel completely lost, I hate to admit. Can you give me advice on where to start. I feel I have found a wonderful resource and want to benefit from it as much a possible. I have joined several groups, but don't know where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated!

I hear you, Nancy. Really, I do. The last post on my blog addressed the fact that these issues need to be delivered from the top as well as grassroots. I go back and forth between that. At times, I just think the "throw resources at those ready to run" -approach is the best.

I saw both sides of this again recently in the "Britannica Debate." Will Richardson took the "run with those ready" approach here.

Then another person I respect, Ryan Bretag, took issue in this post where he advocated a more comprehensive approach that doesn't let anyone out of the loop.

I am still shaping how I feel on this one... but what i do know is that my experience is secondary. I wish wish wish I had someone who could be as strong of an advocate from the elementary level as well.

You are so close... how would a visit from a few folks and I sometime?

Hey Nancy- thanks for the kind words about the Ning site. I was excited to see you are actually so close geographically. It's just... that sadly that doesn't happen much here.

Nancy,
I just joined, but am highly offended by the live chat showing up in the right column. I wouldn't have thought I would find that sort of conversation here. What kinds of controls do you exercise over the Live Chat? WIll it always appear on my screen when I log in?

The picture of an African boy with a cell phone he fashioned is so rich for discussion. It certainly has got me thinking.
Web 2.0 in many places in Africa can only come after they establish the basics of education that we take for granted.

Hi Nancy,
It's new school year! I celebrated my 50th birthday and and still teaching! I loved the examples you found on glogster-but they seemed more foer high school=where did you find the primary stuff?

I had my middle schoolers make Cyber safe Vid's If you want a good laugh check them out at http://tektimes.pbwiki.com/8th-Grade They are preety short. They used talkingpets.org Meez and stardoll. We captured with Cam Studio-and because I can't get the audio feature to work on Cam studio they imported into Win MOVIE MAKER TO DO THE VOICE OVER.

Hi Nancy,
Wondering, when you set up your student blog site, did you have to enter individual email addresses for each and if so, how did you do that?

Hi Nancy,
My 8th graders---ugg- Have been sneaking their cell phones in class and using the mosquito ring that adults can't hear! Gee I had tech used against me...Now I have to figure out a way around this one. Any ideas
