- About Me
- I teach in a magnet gifted program. This year I will work with 4th and 5th graders. Since my first computer, in a business I owned, in 1983, and my first Apple in 1986, I have been interested in technology in both educational and personal worlds. I feel lucky to be in the middle of the tech revolution, am amazed at web 2.0 and the openness and networking of teachers and leaders. I am a tech peer coach at my school and my students produced the first podcasts in the district two years ago - we've since delved into electronic portfolios, class blogs, and collaborative adventures. I am currently developing a blog and web site for my teaching staff to hope to get them as enthused as I am. Besides the use of technology, I enjoy teaching math and art especially. Out of school, I love to create visual journals, mixed media pieces, watercolor (a long way to go there..) and drawing and sketching. Love reading, like most teachers, traveling (Paris is my favorite city) and am a die-hard Cub fan (we'll be great in o-o-eight).

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales
