I teach middle and high school French (beginning to intermediate level). I am looking to teach using "French 2.0" - applying all of the new tools I am learning about that are available on web 2.0. I would love to hear from others about classroom applications, ideas, collaborative projects, etc.

Hello All,
I'm Matt McCarty and I am the Technology Director for Clarkston Community Schools in Clarkston, MI. We are a public school district of just over 8000 students. I'm beginning a push to encourage our certified staff to explore and incorporate technology tools into their classrooms. Especially interested in low or no cost resources (isn't everyone?)

My 8th grade science students loved fantasticcontraption.com when I taught physics and Newton's Laws. This site incorporates problem solving and critical thinking, as well as simple to complex machines. I also had my 8th grade students teach 6th grade students how to use the site.
