Melanie,
I sent you my reflection paper this past weekend.

I really like your "driver/passenger" model when there is the 2:1 student/laptop ratio. A great plan for actively engaging both students.

The student/laptop ratio in our TRC classrooms is 1:1. My students have their laptops numbered and always use the same laptop. We do happen to have an extra laptop in case one of the student laptops is not working properly. They also use the extra…

As Mary said our White City TRC truly enjoyed the Christmas Countdown wikispaces. One of our TRC teachers started using Wall Wishers with her 5th graders. I found many tools on her Christmas Countdown that I still need to explore and use. She is…

Our 5th grade TRC teacher developed a wiki for her students when they were studying Native Americans. The students could go to the Native American wiki where Mrs. Kim Kroupa posted web links that the students could use for their research. My son, a…

We were shown Plurk once during an Inservice. We tried and used it a little that day and I have never gone back to it. At the time I didn't care for it. Looking back now, maybe I didn't care for it because I was rushed to try to learn it…

I believe that the face-to-face environment is one of the best learning opportunities for teachers. The face - to - face environment is personal and if it relates to the educator's subject area the teacher is engaged. However, the downside to…

Mary, Yes I was speaking of Jennifer. I know that Nancy and her used to have their students exchange letters and postcards. We can visit about it Wednesday:)

This is fabulous.

I am very interested in using ePals in my classroom. I have some former students and friends who teach in other states and believe it would benefit my students greatly to talk and collaborate with their students. My students will read the story…

I too am having a hard time embracing the idea that digital textbboks and wiki textbooks will replace the traditional paper textbook. I do believe that the time will come when paper textbooks are obsolete. Without a doubt the digital natives will…

1. Share a powerful teaching example using one of the tools from the chapter.
I know that in my classroom the Smart Board has become a tool I could no longer teach without. It took me awhile to get going with the Smart Board and I honestly can say…
Kari Hinkle replied to Melanie Farmer's discussion 'Week 2: The Digital Information Age - Who Are Our Students and Teachers' in the group TRC Book Discussion '10
One of the most effective leadership strategies within our building would be the support of our TRC facilitator. Our TRC team has the support of our principal and other faculty, but our facilitator is leading a group of digital immigrants into the…

I agree that change is hard for people, myself included. It was very hard to get out of my comfort zone and step outside of my box. I too love the opportunities that have arisen for the education world and elsewhere. I can't imagine teaching…

1. How can you relate to the changes and challenges?
I am the third grade teacher in a first year TRC classroom. One of the challenges I had at the beginning of the year was just becoming comfortable with the new technology in my classroom. My…
