Web 2.0 Tools Meet a 21st Century Classroom

Here is a list of Web 2.0 Tools that I think every educator should take a look at and pick and choose what will work for their students and compliment their current curriculum. Do not be afraid to let students take charge of their learning... Be a facilitator vs. a dictator!

WOW! Teacher Academy

Ok... so I began my day at a technology training called the WOW! Academy...It has reminded me that I need to keep up to date with my blog...I have read a ton of books since the last time I posted but finding the time to keep up with all these blogs and other social media sites is hard to do... I do want to say that as much as I preach that the book is ALWAYS better than the movie, I was not disappointed in The Hunger Games movie... I held a trivia contest in the library after the movie had been out for a week and my students went crazy. I now have 25 copies of Hunger Games and 19 copies of Catching Fire due to a wonderful parent donation and I still have a waiting list...
