ISTE is in San Diego this year and just got home from being totally inspired by Sir Ken Robinson and my favorite Mayim Bialik, Amy from Big Bang Theory. The message is that we have to find our passion and student's passion to create real learning. We can have all the technology but it's the teacher that has the empathy and the ability to reach the students. At the student showcase I talked with two teachers from Indiana that told me about some really cool projects they have done. Check out this website to get some great ideas.
www.projectsbyjen.com and
www.iearn.org . They have great ideas to expand your classroom beyond your four walls.
Amy, previously, Blossom? ;-)
