"If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow."
John Dewey
Integrating technology in the classroom can be exciting as well as overwhelming. The Web 2.0 educational movement calls for using technology to promote pedagogy as well as content. As a primary grade teacher, I often feel that some aspects maybe out of the reach of my emergent readers. The purpose of this blog is encourage myself to explore new technological avenues so that I can then in turn share what I have discovered with others.
Beyond using the Internet to visit various site for skill practice or building background knowledge, what other ways can students pre-k-2nd use technology to foster higher order thinking.

Julie,
I really enjoy and agree with your quote to start off your blog. I do realize that younger students have more technological savvy and competency than some older adults. Where I could possibly see some problems arising is creating individual blogs for students and setting up the technical portion. I know the students can log on and partake in the blogging, but I believe you might have to walk them through the setup portion very carefully. I know, however, that the students will benefit from this type of interaction. Education is heading in that direction, I mean look at all of us.
