Hometown:: Huntington, NY

School / Work Affiliation: NY

About Me:: I am an educational technology specialist working in NY. Extremely interested in the educational and social impact of technology in society, I enjoy observing one-to-one implementations around the country and looking at the data that drives their success. As an advocate for child care and educational reform, my belief is that assessment is key when looking at ways to redirect the way students are taught in schools today. I have seen amazing works and talked to amazing people in states other than NY and strive to make connections with people who can help move New York along in the area of assessment and instructional technology. A child of immigrant parents who came to this country legally, I also feel there are great social influences in this country that create additional challenges in the way of instruction. As economic and immigration policy begins to take form I would also like to connect with policy makers interested in studying the effects of education of our "silent" students. "Silent" only because of their lack of voting rights, not silent in their contributions and influences in society.

I guess my advantage is that I would rather "ask for forgiveness than permission" and Dr. M has been very cool about that. Anyway, onward we go into the future...keep up YOUR good work too!

I'll look for you next time I'm in-world. I'll send you an invite -- I'm Laelia Laval....be on the look-out for it. With this class I probably won't get inworld until the weekend. See ya in the a.m.! Drive safely....

I teach 6-8, but my actual class is always changing because my kids are on suspension from their home schools, some for less than 10 days, others up to 90. It can be pretty nuts. How about you?

At 9:13am on October 24th, 2007, Blanca said…: Cool. You beat me to it. I got sidetracked looking at the wiki for teachers on Web 2.0 tools! I'll find it and post my comments. Have some notes from a while back on curriculum ideas. Thanks Peg!

At 8:02pm on October 23rd, 2007, Peg V said…: By the way, I started a Mobile communications wiki space for the iPhone.

At 8:01pm on October 23rd, 2007, Peg V said…: Hi Bianca, Just noticed your comment. Well, have just found a student with an iPhone who is willing to do some experimenting. Still in the planning stage but will keep you informed. Progress is slow as my other technology has been limited.. new computer classroom, new server, NO LCD and NO Screen. Cramping my teaching styles. will be in touch!! Peg ; )

At 6:29am on October 17th, 2007, Hans Feldmeier said…: Hi Bianca, welcome from good old Europe: Germany!
I focus on Web 2.0 apps as to education.
Additionally, I created the biggest group on Classroom 2.0: DigiSkills about digital teaching methods like wikis, blogs ... with now 198 members!
Would love if you decide to join this group as well:)
