Thing 8

As I was looking around at the education wiki spaces, I really did discover some exciting stuff. In the "Code Blue" 6th grade project, the links that the kids gathered for the body systems and code blue stuff were excellent--what a great aggregation of learning! The "School in the Past" site shows a great way to bridge the gap between generations and encourage active learning at the same time. And, finally, the "Kindergarten Counting Page" was simply inspirational for me, in that the page did not depend on textuality (which is key for that age group!) to achieve deep and real learning.

Thing 7a

I recently signed up for the "ISTE Recent News Feed" and really enjoyed the article from the CEO about digital teaching being "No Longer an Isolated Endeavor."
