Welcome to My Blog

Congratulations! You found my blog!

This is an experimental blog that I'm using to demonstrate possibilities of what can be done with emerging technologies to support student learning. This year I'm working with a group of pre-service teachers who are learning about various applications of emerging technologies in the classroom and how they can be integrated in the teaching and learning process. During their time with me, they will be learning "new" tools (blogs, wikis) as well as "new" skills (podcasting, screencasting, Web quests, digital storytelling).

My students will be working in small groups as they build a blogspace on strategies for integrating technology-based tools to support reading and writing skills development. Though each student will be posting his/her work and providing commentaries on their experience, as a member of this small group they are assured to have a support system when things get "rough" or need for spontaneous celebrations on one's success.

So watch this space grow and enjoy!
