I especially liked your conclusion about becoming digital citizens. It is imperative that educators help students learn both effective and responsible use of these powerful tools. Students will learn the mechanics of Web 2.0 tools, but they still need guidance to harness them effectively and ethically in order to gain true digital literacy. Excellent post!

It is one of the tools where simplicity is powerful. I enjoyed reading the narrative about the connection between Gardner's work and how Animoto can be used in the classroom. I love Animoto.

I especially liked this line: It’s amazing the quality of the students’ writing when they realize the audience reading their writing extends beyond the teacher.

Time is always a constraint so having the segment clearly convey the ideas in a short time span is key and then the students always have it as a resource to review.

Nicely drawn parallel between optimal professional development and project-based learning. It has long been my contention that adult education needs to model practices we promote for teachers to use with students. Great job. Excellent review!

I think your attitude/philosophy is where everyone needs to be - facilitator rather than expert of everything. Welcome, Terri.
