DebBlogg

After attending Alan November's Conference, Building Learning Communities this summer, and hearing Will Richardson speak, I just had to get the blog rolling, so to speak. As a Technology Integration Specialist with a masters in reading and language the new Read/Write web that Will talks about is intriguing to me. I'm intereted in many aspects of technology use in the classroom so I'm sure I'll be creating many blogs to address various aspects of technolog in education.

Intel Training Update

I just began my online training course for version 2.0 of Teaching Thinking with Technology. I am preparing to teach my third group of participant teachers. It is advertised as a four hour training but think it will take me twice the time as I tend to get very involved. I can relate to my students who have taken this course when they run out of time to do the projects. Some people get very involved and excited. This program is so intense it is easy to get caught up in it.
I definitely like the changes that have been made to the curriculum. One of the most common requests of participants has been that they'd like to have been exposed to the Unit Plan earlier in the course. Well, they listened and now it is being introduced in the first Module. so far I really like what see.

Here are a couple photos of my most recent group of participants in the Intel workshop this summer
