- About Me:
- I am interested in how teachers are using Internet 2.O tools and plan to write my dissertation around the use of these tools by training teachers at the elementary school that I have been assigned to as a tech specialist. What is interesting to me is how one goes about training teachers on the use of these tools and how it applies to literacy skills in all areas.

Creditable 2.0 sites
I recently asked a professor how to cite a wiki, podcast and blogs and she sent back a scathing retort that I should not even entertain the idea of using any of these resources as valid sources for any of my papers that I was writing. It thought this was very interesting and rather, how should I say some what prejudicial towards tools that are being used on the Internet.…

Inservice training for Internet 2.0 training
Well, I am working on a plan to introduce Internet 2.0 training to my new staff I will be going to this next fall and there are a lot of transitions that I need to make, moving from high school to elementary students. However, the skill set of some of the students in the Urban High School had skills of many of the elementary students I have worked with before.
My goal is to create an inservice center around what teacher's in the school are already doing. Especially in the area of readi…

Great to meet you! I did a similar job (providing prep blocks to teachers while working with their k-3 students) in the late 90's. My favourite part was crawling around under the computers with the kids tracing the wires to see what the network was.
About Pivot--it is a really easy free app--a form of stop animation using movable stick figures. Once kids get the hang of it, they can import backgrounds that their stick figures can interact with--jump over, fly from, etc. Here's a cool trick with older kids--save the file as a .gif, import to Windows Movie Maker, add a voice over...what fun!
We did it as a French superheroes project--think we'll create a voicethread so others can respond to the work.
I am enjoying all the learning in school and through the master's program. Best wishes to you in your course work!

Elementary kids are really fun, by the way. I think you'll like the move!
