Thinking About Learning

Fireside Chat

October 16, 2006 · No Comments

The K12 Online Conference has begun!  What an awesome experience!  This is all so new and exciting to me… the idea that 51 people from places as far away as China, who are invested in education and see the potential of Web 2.0 in preparing our students for the future, could meet together online for an hour to chat is mind-boggling to me.  Someone made the comment that the world is small, but the room is big.  Something to ponder! I am such a “newbie” and a “wanna-be.”  My brain grasps the possibilities, but my knowledge is still so limited.  That’s the amazing thing about Web 2.0.  Now learners learn from each other, not from a “sage on the stage.”  Everything that I need to know to be a better teacher and to prepare my students for their futures is already out there on the web somewhere.  I just need to increase my expertise in the area of information literacy so that I will know how to transmit my knowledge to my students.  The possibilities are exciting and limitless!
