Does any of you know resources about teaching in elementary schools? I'm looking particularly for teachers' blogs and sites - the more extraordinary source the better.

Hi all ... I want to invite you to take a look at a network I am starting as part of a project to involve teachers in exploring what real learning is. Tired of surveys and i think conversations are often more revealing of our beliefs as educators. REAL learning stands for REFLECTIVE ENGAGED AUTHENTIC LIFE-LONG, and we all know it when we see it. It's that look in a student's eyes, the engagement of the entire body, the passion and excitement over something new. And we all know all too well, the lack of real learning as well. Do you think schools by definition in their 19th century mass education model stifles real learning? Do you think technology might ironically be making real learning possible? How do you keep real learning happening in your classrooms? Check out the REAL Learning site and add your comments and ideas to the wiki journal, upload pix of real learning, and muse on your experiences. It would be wonderful to see the conversation and collected knowledge grow on this site.

Hi! I'm a third grade teacher in Atlanta, GA. My students are active bloggers and podcasters. They are now really into meeting online in the evenings for book club chats using dimdim. We are hoping to start a Yack Pack with our sister school in Mazabuka, Zambia (Africa) soon, so we can learn more about each other.

We love to collaborate with other schools through various projects and Skype, so if you are looking for a learning partner - let me know!

My students are really proud of their podcast and their blog, so if you get a moment to stop by and leave a comment, that would mean the world to them.

On iTunes: search "edmison" under podcasts to find ours (Eagles' Nest Radio) - They are really eager to get more reviews/ratings on iTunes.

OR you can visit our podcast page: http://blog.woodward.edu/ps_edmison/?cat=103

I look forward to learning from everyone here!

Do/Did you use dogs in your classroom (live or fictional)? If so - please fill out this brief survey (5 minutes) to share: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=WzFKW5b4UN2e7ZePI1ZCTw_3d_3d

I need a few paragraphs from experienced teachers with regard to "How do you feel students learn?". Specifically, "What theory of learning to you agree with most (ie. Constructivist Theory) the If any one can respond here or on my page that would be a big help. (1 paragraph will be sufficient)

CALLING ALL K-12 EDUCATORS!!
I'm currently trying to determine if and how dogs are being integrated into the K-12 classroom. If you are a K-12 educator: I was hoping that you might take 5-10 minutes to complete the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=WzFKW5b4UN2e7ZePI1ZCTw_3d_3d

Also, if you could pass this survey link along to any other K-12 educators that you know, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much,
Vanessa

I am in need of 10 teachers to assist in a brief telephone interview regarding the use of Promethean boards in their classrooms. I am a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin, and am collecting data for research. Please contact me via this network, or my email address directly: krueger-read@sbcglobal.net, if you can help me. Thank you.

I'm looking for 4th grade teachers to collaborate with through blogs...local history is part of our curriculum and we are working on a neighborhood service-learning project.

Hi, everyone. I'm looking to help my ESL students understand models, particularly in science. Our state tests expect 4th graders to be able to look at a model and apply it to real life...though while learning a second language, it's a little difficult to get into metaphorical thinking. My ideas are to use video to scaffold. Any thoughts?
