- About Me:
- I teach and learn with Grade 6 students. We are exploring a lot of different things, including inquiry learning and enactment strategies (big fan of Jeffrey Wilhelm). Tech wise: VoiceThread, Windows Movie Maker, Photo Story 3, Pivot animation, and a few other tools to share our thinking. Learning to get the most out of the Smartboard just installed in my room. And I am working on a Master's degree; I experiment, ponder, and make mistakes every day.

Hope everything is going well with you and your new Smartboard. Still waiting here, 9 days overdue now. Looks like it will be into June before we can try an activity.
Thanks for the comment! I tidied up the links and added a link to this Classroom2.0 profile from your name- hope that is ok with you.
Reflecting on each post has been wonderfully cathartic, (and painfully slow, but a worthwhile trade-off).
I think you are right about the need for good pedagogy. I touched on that in the post and will elaborate a bit more on my response to your comment.
Thanks again,
Dave
I haven't had very much of a presence on Classroom2.0 recently but as soon as I finish moving my blog, (one-post-at-a-time and reflecting on every one of them along the way), then I will pop back over here and add more. Great to see your tech involvement, keep us up to date on the Smartboard... I just made one with the Wiimote, (actually a Gr. 7 student did it for me), but have not had much time to play with it yet.
Dave.
I thought Comox Valley had Middle Schools?
It is great to see classroom teachers infusing so much technology in their classroom. I can see that you are doing some great integration with some great tools. I learned of a new one I had not heard before and that is Pivot animation. I will have to go and check it out.
I am a full time computer teacher to an elementary school in Seattle and serve all the kids. I wish I could block out a whole hour to work with my students. Since I give all the teachers their breaks, they are only 30 minutes.
Good luck on your Masters degree, I am in the middle of my PhD degree with some time off because I am working on my National Boards Certification.
Let me know how I could help.
