Dreaming
?>
This year in Birdville we are dreaming or flying if you are Dr. Waddell.
The dictionary defines dreams as a condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration. What will be our dream or aspiration concerning the digital natives that we teach each day? My dream for each of my schools this year is that we will have students creating digital content that we share with others around the globe. I have a dream that the students in our schools will collaborate and communicate globally with the other digital natives that long to share and build knowledge. I would love to hear what your dream is for us this year.
Please share your dream below.
This school year I want to empower you to reach for your dreams with technology infusion. I will be looking for the teacher that is really reaching and aspiring using technology. Each six weeks I will feature that teacher on my blog page that is titled “Risk Taker”. That teacher will receive from me one free hour of technology fun for their students while they take a break. I am looking forward to a great aspiring year.
I am starting with Allison Ross from Holiday Heights. She rocks with new technology. Click on the page to view her great work. Allison name the date.
I love using technology in the school. My dream is to ultimitely get all grades (2-5) proficient in doing digital story-telling with Photo-story. I would like them to create a story that will tell what their dreams are and how they hope to achieve them.
Thanks, Teresa! I’ve loved getting the blog up and running and I’m excited to show my new students all of the ways they can use it. I’m looking forward to that free hour!
Teresa – I’m so looking forward to our meeting on Friday to learn about vodcasting. My dream is to give the students’ parents a view into our school lives each week. I know time passes by so quickly and hopefully this will help them feel connected to their child and our room. Thanks for all that you do to help us on this technological fast train that we’re riding!!!! Stephanie Simmons
Dreaming… I’m dreaming of a day when we use the technology that is available to us to the fullest extent possible. When a power point becomes more than a high tech overhead.
I dream of a day when students work collaboratively on a project with students from other campus (countries).
I dream of a day where teachers are using the digital tools with the digital natives that we have.
The time is now.
I love your dream Mr. Bicknell. It is a dream we share. I want to see students producing content for other students across the district, across the country, and across the continents. Out students being the digital natives they are are ready. We just have to lead them. They will follow and take the lead.
