Mini's Blog
Moving along nicely on this first full day of Spring Break!
Thank you for the posts to push me to individualize the blogs! This month they really worked on collaborating to create a nice summary for our blog. I have been hesitant with taking the next step of giving them their own to work with, but I think they are ready. I set up a classroom page through Ning and have created an account through my email address (They do not have school email addresses) for each one of them. I already put up a discussion for them to work on next Monday when we come back t… Continue

I'm taking my classmate's advice and diving in!
Hello fellow teachers! I am a 4th grade teacher up in Schiller Park, IL which is about a mile outside of the NW city limits of Chicago and literally right across the street from OHare Airport. I enjoy teaching so much and am working really hard this year at integrating technology. I have been reading so much of how this generation of learners are so different from us. Although I am in my late 20's, I still feel like an ancient fossil compared to them in the computer world. At the beginning of th… Continue

We are known as SITACT Incorporated and we operate out of Chicago. You can
find more about us at www.sitact.ent. We are into developing virtual
learning environments and course settings so that it becomes easy to set up
an online course for a teacher. A sample of what we do can be seen at
www.lms.sitact.net . Please use the guest login
and use "frankieuncle" as the guest access code. What you will see in here
is a simple course that describes the software, but this course can be
designed to teach diverse subject matter to students. If you feel the kind
of work we are doing will be useful for you, we will be glad to work with
you setting up such virtual courses for collaborative dissemination and consumption of knowledge. Even if you didn't like the work we do, please let us know if we can do anything else for you.

Small world I used to work right next door to you in Mt Prospect, teaching technology at an El Ed school K-5, called Lions Park. Now I'm in a suburb of Milwaukee doing the same thing, but frequently visit the area to keep in touch w/ family and friends. Anyway, let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Are you a Mac or PC based district? Do you do a lot of stuff w/ web based applications? Have you thought about doing a lot of multi-media type stuff, such as podcasts, digital storytelling, web pages, etc.?
I do have a teacher interested. Please send me your email address. I will send you the information and what you need to get started. Then the two of you will be able to contact each other about dates.
Thanks.
