Death of a New Year's Resolution
I pulled up the note on my iPod the other day, the one that I wrote last December to chart all my New Year's Resolutions. I'm doing pretty well. I've been financially responsible. I'm 6 lbs from my Jan 1 '11 goal weight. I've sent birthday cards and gift cards to every family member so far this year.But then there's the one about the reading...I was supposed to read 4 professional books. I haven't read one. And here it is September.So please help me find some sense of accomplishment in my…See More

Looking forward to a conference
Hey fellow language teachers--our state language teachers association conference is this coming weekend and @jannachiang and I are doing a 3-hour workshop on the PLN. I'm going to be showing attendees the eduPLN here. Would you give them a shout-out and suggest one tool, tech or otherwise, to use for either writing or speaking assessment, and mention which part of this NING is helpful to you?Thanks!See More
Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell replied to Greg Quinlivan's discussion I'd Like to Use Technology - But ... (please help) in the group Edtech"I don't have a solution for you except to tell you 1) I don't think you're being unreasonable and 2) I sympathize and 3) keep amassing your resources because your situation will not always be the same. I do have a committed classroom…"

Steven Katz replied to Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell's discussion Quick question- paperless: environment or education? in the group Edtech"I'm not sure which you should pick, but whichever you do mention in your proposal the difficulty of making the choice. Also, http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/ is an outstanding resource for going paperless."

Quick question- paperless: environment or education?
I've been wanting to really go paperless for a while but I and my students and my school just don't have the technology for it. One of my summer projects is to apply for a grant to take my class paperless next year with an interactive whiteboard and ipads. My first application is the Pepsi refresh project at the $5k level (I teach part-time, advanced electives, so I only have about 20 students so that's enough). They ask you to choose environment or education. The proposal is both. Which…See More

Giselda Aparecida dos Santos said… - Hi Sara! Yes, great point. And we are all new at these huge changes but the point is to take risks and experiment new options, new ways to do the things we were doing as granted, new technologies. But how??? Trying, doing, commiting mistakes and learning with them.

You're right, that by engaging students on-line, they are able to enhance their learning and discover it by themselves. They are able to learn by inquiry and construct meaning to it. This is one of…"
