- About Me:
- I'm a classroom teacher (mostly middle school humanities) currently working for the Elk Grove School District, a huge, rapidly growing area in the south Sacramento area, as a technology support specialist.
For the past 12 years, ever since the Internet arrived at my classroom doorstep, I've been dabbling with technology as a tool for catapulting learning. I've always realized we were on the edge of something great, but never could quite articulate what that "something" was. With the arrival of Web 2.0, I see everything changing about the way we teach and learn. That's another piece I'm trying to wrap my brain around, but the possibilities are just so mind boggling.
I love gardening, walking with my dog Nola, bike riding, and hiking in the Sierras.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Let me get with Paul Allison, who organizes the program, and see if next week would work. I've recommended the book for National Writing Project summer institutes, so it would be great if the teacher leaders could meet online with either you or Jane!
Just saw your invite for a conversation about Reinventing PBL. Would love to join--but Jane is on the road today. Any chance we could do this interview next week instead?
Let me know if that works for you (suzie@learninginnovation.org).
Thanks,
Suzie
Best, M
Here is my post--Gail, I don't know what TOR is, but sure go ahead and showcase Guardians of Freedom. We did another primary source project this past spring call CSI:Cemetery Scene Investigation http://connections.smsd.org/csi. It was fun but didn't have the human interest of the veterans project (since all the participants were dead!!) Let me know if you write about our projects. Thanks, N.
I´ve created the screencast with "screencast-o-matic" (Sorry for my bad English)
Cheers:)

So nice to be adventuring in cyberspace with you! Glad you have enjoyed "The Raven." Finding and listening to that resource was a real turning point for me in understanding the power of audio recording. I'm having way too much fun with it! :-)
Take care,
Miguel
