Hi Everyone :) This my re-tooled version of Chapter 9


Chapter 9 offered real-life examples of how technology can make our schools a new place to learn. By blending technology and pedagogy, I can customize learning specific to a child’s needs and lesson requirements. Warlick’s article is packed with innovative ways to connect content and cross-curricular lesson planning using Web 2.0 technology. Collaborating among grade levels, online social calendars, and digital conferences are a few suggestions for the idea of “new schools” helping teachers. 

As Tony Vincent suggests, in Project-Based learning video, students can personalize their learning. By incorporating Web 2.0 tools in my classroom, students can learn when and where they want to learn. The idea of mobile learning is exciting for 21st century classroom. Wiki sites offer follow-ups to lessons and online textbooks enable students to study on the go. As our book, Web 2.0, proposes “technology infused teaching and learning” is the goal. By using the same tools, in the classroom that students are using at home, learning becomes fun and interactive. I want to weave technology throughout my lessons and make it an integral part. I plan to communicate and teach in a style my students can learn the best by adding mobile devices to my classroom.
