I recently came across a post by Darren Kuropatwa, who was reflecting on his evolution over the last few years in using web2.0 technology in his classrooms. Have a look!
Darren is a Maths teacher but his experiences have relevance for teachers of any subject. I found it very heartening that even web2.0 savvy gurus like Darren started small: he explored some web tools and thought of some wonderful ways to use them to engage kids in the learning process and to foster understanding. He met the occasional dead end. Slowly but surely, he continues to build up his repertoire of powerful teaching practices.
I’m keen to try the Scribe Post idea. What a great way to get kids to reflect on what they are learning, to give them some ownership of this learning and to give them a larger audience with whom their reflections can be shared!
