Dave Edyburn showed me these tools and I have passed them on to everyone that will listen! My students love these tools and before they know it, they have read the non fiction at least twice and they have re-written their summaries…

I have started a discussion and I have posted a 'google' doc site where you can see an amazing document developed by Donna Klockars. She systematically gathered resources that could integrate curriculum at multiple levels. I hope you will have a chance to read some of the documents and I have invited her to write about her work. I hope she will join in. Feel free to ask her some questions!

I remember that feeling of meeting my friends after the summer holidays and feeling like I had heaps of friends. I was happy to be back at school, hopeful that I would be successful and feeling…

Personalized Learning: Kony 2012

The internet is a wonderful thing. I love that web 2.0 provides opportunities for digital access to and interaction with information using various media. In the near future, web 3.0 may not only be interactive, but it may be universally designed for learning. In other words, a UDL internet! Now that would be VERY cool.

Until then, let’s take…

Thank you Don for reading and commenting!! You jogged my memory and I am looking forward to reading your references!

I just read “Drive” by Daniel Pink and I’m ready to play…
