Thing 1 and 2 Response

Like most of us that have signed up for 23 Things, I want to be able to connect with more of my students, expand my (and their) view of learning, and start understanding the lingo of web 2.0.

I am concerned about my ability to implement the technology in my "classroom" due to limited district technology and discrepencies in student access outside the classroom. I plan to first use blogging (and other techniques) with my Science Olympiad team and as an alternate way for students/parents/colleages to communicate about learning/teaching.

From watching the video and reading the article introducing 23 things, I see how I am only at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding the power of the technology that my students are already using daily. I also see how it is more important than ever that all of us learn to scrutinize sources of information. The traditional boundries of learning (with respect to when, where, and how) are being transcended---I need help figuring out my role.

  1. We're glad you got started and look forward to hearing your views and opinions as you learn these tools. Starting with a specific group like your Science Olympiad team is a great plan and will hopefully make your application of learning much more manageable. Welcome to the project!
