Thinking About Learning

Since school began this year, I have maintained a blog for the parents of my students that provides a brief summary of what we do in class each day.  I never get comments, but I get lots of hits daily.  The first week of October I attended and presented at our state edtech conference.  The keynote speaker was  David Warlick, and he really turned me on to the power of Web 2.0 and its educational implications.  I reached the conclusion that I needed to begin a new separate personal blog to reflect on my own learning as an educator.  I am convinced that the educational needs of our students today are changing rapidly, and the legislative/education machinery is not keeping up!  I’m excited about the opportunities Web 2.0 offers to locate and communicate with like-minded educators.  I just discovered Women of Web 2.0, and I’m looking forward to all that I will learn through these networking opportunities!
