You can see the published google spreadsheet from this survey here – Education Blocked Web Applications. The response wasn’t as high as I expected it would be, but it did give a small-scale picture of the situation. Rather than immediately throw my beliefs and theories at you, I ask this:
What are the educational implications of [...]

Wiki Project – Fresh Start
Posted in Evidence of PD, Keyboarding, Resources, Teaching, Tools on Apr 4th, 2008 7 Comments »
As I wrote in my post a few days ago, I am starting over on my attempt to teach basic wiki (web editing/content creation) concepts (replacing Powerpoint – my choice) to my 6th graders. I rotate groups every 10 days (50 min. each day, 30 of which need to be spent typing), so I’ve been [...]
