21st Century Teachers HomeThis is a featured page








This site is going to be for teachers and students to share ideas about technology. We will share and post information that is helpful for teachers to use in their classrooms with their students. Students can also share their ideas as well.

I have learned some interesting things by checking out how wikis can be used for educational purposes. I came across a link to a teacher in Shanghai, China that teaches technology in a K-12 school. I wrote to him and he shared two blogs from teachers in his school. The first one is a second grade class that corresponds with a school in PA. The other blog is a fifth grade class.

The second grade class has podcasts for each student. Their school is called SAS (Shanghai American School).

The fifth grade class is full of info worth checking out. I love the animated guy in the corner.
Teachers, I hope these blogs can help us work together to think of creative ways to have our students more engaged in their learning.

I know it has been awhile, but my recent blog readings I have learned that wetpaint is now ad free. Yeah! Now, maybe we can get school access. We are making progress at school but we need some help when it comes to big brother and the censorship of websites at school.

I have been checking out the blogs from the 5th grade students in China and I created my own Voki. Unfortunately, my Voki would not paste to my wiki, but I will be working on it. What do you think of the new additions to the wiki? By the way, I have added words to know on the vocabulary list. If you would like to add any let me know.

I am barely scratching the surface with technology, however I realize how important it is for me to keep up with how fast our students learn information using computers. I think our roles in the classroom are going turn around and students are going to be teaching the teacher. Are we ready for that?
