21st century learning--an example

21st century learning--an example 06/24/2008

A short post to highlight a video that documents a class project by a local fifth grade. It underscores a conversation that Nicole (other blogger and co-creator of this web site) and I have been having. Technology use does not necessarily equal 21st century learning. For me, it is more about a collaborative culture and putting kids in a situation of uncertainty (with support, of course) in order to create something new. This project clearly achieves both of those objectives. http://www.spokaneschools.org/MediaRoot/VideoResources/The_Difference.wmv

Hi Donna,
Just wanted to give you feedback on your presentation at ASCD in Nashville yesterday. Just wonderful! I was the pesky teacher in the front row. I loved your presentation and resources. Thanks for sharing your work and your passion. Wonderful to see that technology's being integrated into the classroom on the other side of the continent!
Best regards from the Bronx!

Hi Frances: I remember our great conversation--and I am going to get my Voki this week. I have already checked out your district's blog--there is so much there that I know I will go back all the time. I put the Voki link up on the 'cool websites' tab so other visitors can find out about it, too. What a great tip. Keep in touch--we have to share new and effective tech ideas next year! Take care--Donna
