It sounds like a busy and productive time. I love how you say that the Wow meters were off the charts for your students.
Yeah!

Loved reading your blog! Sounds like we have very similar goals, back grounds, jobs - and even
Cof C. I just saw you in Classroom 2.0. So happy to see a fellow SC in elementary technology and web 2.0. I will be a regular reader now.
Would love to plan collaborative projects with students and teachers.

Comment on Podcasting Your Way through the Standards by Rad

I am a prospective student working his way through school. I was excited when I read your post about using technology to teach the standards. Personally, technology is a hobby of mine, and I want to share that love with my students. I am inspired to think of new and creative ways to teach when I read about people thinking outside the box. Podcasting is a new idea for me, and I love it because it ignites the motivation flames inside these students.

I too have jumped on the diigo bandwagon. I wrote a pretty comprehensive how to post with the features I have discovered so far. There is an educator group in diigo you should check out too

I think that technology opens a door to crossing over many of our curriculum standards, but it take some thinking to get that across (for ourselves and for others).
Thanks for sharing and thanks for the link to the podcasts.

Thanks for your comment, Gerald! I understand your struggle. I think most elementary teachers feel so overwhelmed by all the standards for which they’re accountable that they aren’t able to see that maybe there are some better, more efficient ways to teach. Continue being the light in the darkness…someone has to lead the way!

Thanks so much for this post. I have been trying to convince some teachers in my building for the past 3 years that standards and assessments don’t mean what everyone seems to think they mean, especially that we cannot actually teach critical thinking and communication.

Keep doing good work.

Frieda -

I have to comment and tell you that you totally rock! I came across your 10 reasons to blog video via a tweet on twitter — it is wonderful!

I have blogged it on my blog and linked here and there as well. You might get a few people coming over — do you have a summary blog post with the information on the video? If so, I’d like to go back and add it.

Great job! Wow! You are now in my reader!
