About Me
I am a first year, fifth grade teacher who loves to use technology whenever possible. I am here to learn a little more about moving my elementary classroom towards "2.0 status". Currently, my classroom blog contains several entries from my students. Unfortunately, we have need made a connection with the outside world in order to create learning links with others. This is where I believe Classroom 2.0 can really help me.

    Hans,
    Thanks for the response. Like I said, I have a blog, but am having trouble connecting to the world. Are there any sites or resources you know of that can help teachers connect? Also, I am interested in knowing what has worked in the past at the elementary level that has created meaningful learning. I'll also check out the blog. Look forward to hearing from you.
    Also, greetings from the Cereal Capital of the World (Battle Creek)!

    Hey Mitch, HAHAHA!!! I can explain the flipping second fraction thing... its one of those funny math rules for division, you can change any division to multiplication of the reciporcal of the second number. Its kinda like why 2 negatives make a positive... and all the other 40,000,000,000 rules of math! I like the video math rule of 5 14's make 25. And the Cereal Capital of the World? I thought we had it great here in PA, The Mushroom Capital of the World. Cereal is so way better. Good luck in your quest for resouces, I am too am glued to the web for ideas.
