Multimedia Projects
Integrating technology into instruction has the ability to engage today's learner in ways that traditional instructional methods cannot. Children today are growing up with an immense amount of technology opportunities outside of the educational setting and it is vital to use even some of the same technologies, i.e. blogging, YouTube, etc. to stay current with their learning styles.
Rethinking teaching, learning, and professional development.
I have made several WIkispaces both for the students to use as well as teachers. I have included a couple that I have created for professional development purposes to help teachers learn the new science standards. I also included one that I used in the classroom to replace the traditional paper and pencil research paper format.

Below is a video my colleague and I created when we attended a Discovery Education workshop last Spring. This was one of many fantastic ideas presented.

Connecting with students on a new level.
When I was a classroom teacher I used Kidblog with my students with all content areas from reading log responses to math and science. Follow this link to see a post I made regarding the water cycle.
