As you can see from the date, I haven't used this blog this year! I created it in a training class our first year of the CFF program. I'm now ready to use blogging as a tool for the Karns City CFF program. So what has changed? What have I learned since beginnning the blog in 07? What can I share with this blog? The answer to all of these questions is A LOT! I plan to expound on all of our changes and how we can continue to change in these blog postings.
The CFF program at Karns City is in full swing. I'm so excited about what the teachers here have accomplished with the new technology and more importantly how they are using it to move from a 2oth century classroom into a 21st century classroom. You know it is widespread when I walk into a classroom to help a teacher and I hear comments from the students like, "Not another WIKI!". We have expanded from basic usage of our new technology and Web 2.0 tools to imbedding them into our curriculum. They have become tools in student learning at KC!
As I walk through the halls I see laptops everywhere. Last week as I was assisting a teacher with a wikispace, we had several students and teachers stop by the classroom to see if all the laptops in the cart were being used and could they borrow one. I see laptops moving down hallways in the student's arms. I see students sitting in the hallway using a laptop. Have we created a monster? If so it is a good one, kind of like the guys from the movie, Monsters Inc. If all of our technology was removed tomorrow, could we survive! Of course, but would we like it? NO!
