Spring08: Decorating the Walls

As I explained in yesterday's blog post, my online course starts officially on January 14, but the early bird students are already getting a head start. Meanwhile, I am busy decorating my virtual classroom walls! College classroom walls are notoriously bare because they are transient places, usually without any kind of soul. I love the way high school and elementary school classrooms are often plastered… Continue

Checkout my blogspot - M A G E E's Blog

M A G E E's Blog is my original blog and I don't feel like it gets any hits. It certainly doesn't get many comments. So, I'm writing about it here in hopes of gaining readership which will hold me more accountable for journaling on it. You can signup to have emails when I post something new.

The latest post is about the "Learning 2.0 A Colorado Conversation" Conference. You should check it out…

Spring08: Meet and Greet

With the beginning of the new year and the new semester, I thought I would use this Classroom2.0 blog space as a way to keep a kind of running diary of the semester. I haven't really been sure what to do with this blog space since I keep some other blogs already (http://bestlatin.net), but it would probably be useful in all kinds of ways to keep a running record of a new semester, charting the ups and downs. Luckily, it is mostly ups! I love teaching my… Continue

Looking both ways before entering the new year

The new year has arrived and I’m spending time back in my hometown visiting family. It’s always nice to come home to take some time to just visit and catch up. It gives me time to do

some reading and blogging and just reconnect with my family -

dysfunctional as we are. As I drove home, a 6 hour trip, I was

reflecting on all the things that have taken place during the past year

and looking forward to where things might be going in 2008.As I…

Peer Coaching Training

Back in December I ran a Peer Coaching workshop for a group of 7 Victorian teachers. I was able to organisie my workshop with the help of Les from the Puget Sound Centre who gave me some tips for running a one day workshop. You see, when I was trained it was a 10 day intesive training program so a one day session needed serious modification.

The session ran well and I focussed on where PD was heading with ICT (Information and Communication Technology). We then worked on coaching skills… Continue

Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson went camping and...

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are going camping. They pitch their tent under the stars and go to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes wakes Watson up.

Holmes: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you deduce."

Watson: "I see millions of stars and even if a few of those have planets, its quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life. What does it tell you,… Continue

From Narrowcasting to Broadcasting

Last week was a busy digital content acquisition week for me. Eh, I shot a lot of video. I had eleven year old students in preproduction researching and writing copy for a mid-December webcast while others were directing and producing the on-camera talent for the taping of the next weekly Good Morning Eastview. In addition, 5th grade students helped shoot a school musical, but not after we produced and…

Hannibal Kids View of Pakistan

I’ve been using the word globalization and doing international kid

projects for a long time. It was just recently that the “realness” of

the so called flat world struck me — and my students. Benazir Bhutto

was killed in Pakistan - and the significance was enhanced because my

students and I had been engaged with a class from Karachi for the past

six months, Ms. Elahi’s grade 5. As we had shared details about

culture, videos, poetry, and worked together in the… Continue

Au Revoir 2007, Bonjour 2008 ! Good Bye 2007, Hello 2008 ! OUR EUROPEAN CULTURAL DIVERSITY IS OUR WEALTH ;-)

This is a kind critical analysis of Classroom 2.0 Network's americanocentrism and a charge against standardization of the world by the exclusive use of english language... In the name of the nearly 300 members of our educational network L'école Hors les Murs/School Outside The Walls and specially in the name of our coadministrators Gražina (Lithuania), Lea (Czech

Rep.), Elena (Romania), Vincenzina (Italia) and Józef

(Poland), we send you our best wishes for the New Year and Long…

The World is Watching!

I am a regular education classroom teacher, and I’m trying to engage the students. By using technology and media we have the opportunity to have our produced content actually meet an interactive audience. So off we went. This particular class has “bought into” their education more than others and I wondered why. I wondered, what makes this class more responsive learners? Even though I have integrated a lot of media and technology over the years, this is the first year I have made our… Continue

And now a word from my favorite playwright:

"O! This learning, what a thing it is."

William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew, 1597

It is true, I am addicted to learning, and I don't want to use a twelve-step group to get rid of it *:-) I hope to remain addicted.

Have fun *:-)

My top 10 web 2.0 sites for 2007

Being an absolute beginner at web 2.0, I started in June, 2007. So, I am going to reflect on the 10 web 2.0 sites that I have enjoyed using most this year. I am following the lead of my friend Chrissy, Teaching Sagitarrian who helped start me on this amazing journey. NZ Chrissy decided to blog about her favourite 5 web 2.0 in the classroom for 2007 so I will share mine with those who might be relatively new to all this.

Mine are…
