What stage of tech integration are you?
Many teachers are so excited over the Web 2.0 offerings. (I looked at Zoho today.) But is it uncommon to find that there are still so many educators at the beginning stage of tech integration?
AppleWorks Draw was used this week by the Art teacher. I’ve been at the school for 7 years and this is the first time it has happened. I was thrilled and posted their efforts on the web. The students are K-1.
But what about having the students using digital tools to create and explore content? What denotes good integration practice? A teacher using Discovery Education Streaming, embedded in a PowerPoint presentation? A teacher who uses RealeWriter to create RealeBooks (http://www.realebooks.com)? What about a teacher who uses PhotoBooth to have students take a photo of themselves and then write a composition “All About Me”?
What has the most impact on students and learning?

Hi Jeanne, I enjoyed your postings. I am trying to get my blog up and running on a regular basis. I use a class blog and a professional wiki and am beginning to use a class wiki. I find that some of the teachers in my school are very eager and some want no parts of technology. And age doesn’t seem to be a factor!
BTW: I’m a 4th grade teacher in PA.
