Driven by a Need

As teachers, we constantly strive to meet the needs of our students. This means careful observation, reflection, collaboration, differentiation and assessment. It means research, staff development, alignment of curriculum, thoughtful placements, and fluid schedules. It means planning time, supplies, volunteers, parent involvement and community support.

It also means technology integration.

I have taken the time to research web2.0 tools, websites, hardware and software already available to Central School teachers and how they can be utilized in the classroom to support learning. Because of the enormity of the project, I will be focusing on supporting literacy and writing skills. My hope is that eventually this will build until other disciplines are included as well.

I encourage you to add your own comments to this blog. Perhaps you have a question or a story to share. Perhaps you have found another resource or another way to reach struggling readers and writers through technology. I look forward to sharing ideas with you.
