 I have a 5th grade language arts teacher who is looking students and teaches to respond to their reading blogs.  If this is something that you might be interested in having your students do, please visit

• Phyllis Reynolds Naylor † http://kidblog.org/PhyllisReynoldsNaylor/
• Sir Edmund Hillary † http://kidblog.org/SirEdmundHillary/
• Rachel Carson † http://kidblog.org/RachelCarson/
• Amelia Earhart † http://kidblog.org/AmeliaEarhart/
• The goal is for the students to create blogs that share/highlight the interesting features of the person whose biography they are reading.  Our ideal situation is for other 5th grade classes around the country to be able to read and respond to their work.  We would like the student readers to focus on deciding (individually, if possible) which blog most convinced them to want to learn more about the person of interest.  This project is happening right now, and will continue throughout next week.  There will be two to three more blogs written by the students before this project is over, as well as a "book trailer" for the other 5th grade students to read.  Thank you for participating!  
• We would like to know where the students who are reading the blogs are from (state/country), so that we can see how far our work has travelled.

Hey Everyone,

   I was just given a bunch of webcams.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a good website that connects classrooms with others and/or with "the real world" via a virtual fieldtrip.   I would be interested to see what others have used webcams in the classroom for.    Let me know..

Does anyone here currently have distance learning in your school or district? I am looking to bring it to my school district and need to present to the board. Does anyone know if there is funding provided for schools/districts that have virtual learning? I appreciate the help. Please email me at sirotiak02@aol.com Thank you.

@ Peggy: I have a Masters in Technology Integration and I am certified through the state of NY. They have a lisc. for that area; however, most states do not.

How does one get to be a certified Technology Integration specialist? I would love that job!

Hi,
I'm new to the group. If anyone is interested in project based learning, I have recently built a site for students to manage their group projects online. The site is called Enterthegroup.com and it's free.

Don, is it because they have to use email addresses? I use the gmail trick to get around that...
