1. I think this is a good way to give feedback to an older student (one who understands constructive critism) becasue it gives them access to a variety of different opinions. Some suggestions they may agree with and others they may dismiss but it is…
I too was impressed by Marissa's organization and use of conventions. It's obvious she pays a lot of attention to detail and takes great pride in her work.

I know. There seems to be a fear factor. I say just jump in and give it a try.
I really wish we had more access to updated computers so I could play with this with my students. It would be interesting to see. Even with limited usage, I know many of them are already very technical. Once they learn how to do something on the com…
Hi Marissa,
I enjoyed reading your essay.
I liked the way you were able to mix your own experiences with your research. This made it more personable.
I was able to read it through easily without having to stop to reread for clarity. It seems to f…
I wonder how k-1 students might handle a Ning? Interesting challenge. I can see that it is a problem to get co-workers involved in this kind of technology because they are not necessarily "digital natives."
My co-workers replied in person to my questions! We meant to get together sometime so I could show them how to respond on the Wiki Space but there's never time to do that.
It never ceases to amaze me that adults are anti-technology, when it could solve so many problems.

Hi Victoria,
My own children still make connections at times to when they studied the Holocaust in school, such a powerful subject and a good way to get everyone involved.

I love the band, too! What exactly happened with your co-workers? I'd be interested to hear more. You might look around on Ning in Education and see if others had similar issues,

Hi Sharon,
I find it fascinating that you have a family Ning! I could do this with my kids but not my siblings. My family really needs to learn more technology.

Hi! I'm Kathleen. I teach K/1 at Borton Primary Magnet School.
I'm enjoying the band this morning :-) Really! I love listening to bands play. I get annoyed when broadcasts of parades on TV cut them off and go to commercials instead.

A forum to discuss the role of activism in education.
Kathleen:
Absolutely--you can upload files, including a scanned document, as we did in looking at the advertisement that Jesse uploaded. Great idea as a PD tool to look at K-2 student work through the ning and discuss. I love it!

Taylor,
I found this to be very interesting. I enjoyed looking over a piece written by a high school student as i generally only see primary work. Still, I think the delivery of feedback stays the same no matter what grade you teach. It needs to be…

- Hi, Kathleen, thanks for joining! I am so looking forward to your participation, and please, give me lots of feedback on how this could be made more useful for a K-2 teacher. I've been trying to think about that, but any insights or suggestions you have are greatly appreciated. I wonder if there are any technologies being developed that are geared towards the younger set? Oh, and if you have a jazzy photo you'd be willing to upload, that would be great. I think you can add it by clicking on "change my photo" or "add my photo" on your "My Page" tab at the top. Good luck! ;)
