=Thanks for attending my sectional on __Learning in the Classroom AND the "Cloud"__ at Heartland!=

I hope with this Web 2.0 tool, one of my all time favorites, we can continue our discussion and the sharing of our ideas. To add anything to this page click on the "edit" tab on the top right-hand corner, put your cursor where you want to type and go for it. When finished, click "Save" on the toolbar-- It's that easy!

If you want to view notes and links from the Heartland sectional, click on the the words "Integrating Web 2.0 Technology" on the left hand side of this page.

 * 1. I realized after the sectional that I didn't mention Twitter, which has become another one of my favorite teaching tools. Last Spring I used it with my Spanish 2 class (Juniors) while they were watching a movie that dealt with the issue of immigration because I wanted them to understand the message of the movie beyond the plot line. For those that are interested, the movie was called "Under the Same Moon", you can get it through Teacher's Discovery. It's well done and helps students understand the issue of immigration from an immigrant's perspective. For a new twist, I asked the class to set up Twitter accounts, asked permission from my administration to allow the students to bring their cell phones to class (it's otherwise not allowed), and then created a list of ten essential questions that I tweeted to the Twitter users throughout the viewing of the movie. A few students chose to not use Twitter and they were given my questions on paper. I was pleased with the discussion we had via Twitter last spring so I have posted some new tweets for students to consider outside of class this year. You can see my tweets and the student's responses at the link below or you can follow me on Twitter @CMCSprofessora**
