So Many New Opportunities
The Internet offers so many meaningful instructional experiences for both teachers and students. I actually feel more like a student than a teacher as I explore these new literacies. The idea of designing experiences for students seems to be a very lengthy process at this time but I am anxious to try so that I can actually see how much is involved. After the scavenger hunts we prepared in class, I have volunteered to work with the Tech Team at my school to share some of the work we all have done. As I have talked with other elementary teachers about child safety issues, as an example, I realize that many of them are unaware of the sites we have explored. The text has provided numerous sites that offer connections to the elementary content curriculum in our school. I am trying to determine how to share some of these with the teachers. Any suggestions?

Hi Ruth,
We certainly had a good time with the scavenger hunt. I think that my teaching partner and I will be auditioning the idea in our next nonfiction unit. I think this ideas is great introduction to internet reading because it requires student to be focused on one site. Once they get the hang of it, the will be ready for more sophisticated activities like webquests. See you Thursday.

Hi Ruth,
You have been so open to considering the role of technology in your curriculum as a university teacher. Would you be willing to share the link to your homepage with us on your blog. I am so excited that you are using this wonderful tool.
