Getting onboard the 21st century learning classroom

Hi, Sharon! I am Deb Morton. I work as a teacher/librarian at Pagosa Springs High School. We are a small school in a beautiful mountain town in Colorado. Presently, I am taking an online class thru PBS TeacherLine called, "Communicate & Collaborate Online". I'm learning a lot about Web 2.0 I did not know before. I agree with you....we need to make the leap and become a paperless education system. The amount of paper wasted on a daily basis is HUGE! It makes me sick. I hope I can learn wha… Continue

Looking for help

Hi, Hello everyone, my name is Sharon Padget and I teach at Ottumwa High School in Ottumwa Iowa.

Offering the Eracism Project to Year 7s

Today I offered the opportunity to a class of Year 7s to be part of the Eracism project. An interesting learning experience for several reasons 1. Having to 'sell' the idea to students who did not know me (me being new to the school) showed how much more difficult it is when you don't have the personal 'capital' to call on. This led to: 2. The challenge of 'selling' a new project when not sure of time-line, work demand etc. Hope my efforts to appear confident didn't come over as too false 3. Eve… Continue

Flatclassroom Workshops in Hong Kong

I have been fortunate to be a part of the Hong Kong flatclassroom workshop at the 21st Century Learning at Hong Kong conference, when not involved in other activities.
