Assignment 3 Voicethread
I was sucessful in entering my assignment on voicethread today. I thought I had recorded my comment last week, but my microphone on my computer was muted. Make sure you check your computer microphone before recording.
Assignment 1, Question 3
3. Name some 21st century skills. Which skills do you think are important.
Answer: As a teacher of 2nd graders, I know that the 3R's (Reading, Writing, and arithmetic) remain the most imporantant skills. However, to prepare my students for the 21st century, my approach to teaching these skills will change. I should examine my approach to delivering the 2nd grade curriculum to promote and support such 21st century skills as self-direction, adaptability, problelm solving, inventive thinking, risk taking, global awareness, collaboration skills, digital proficiency, and higher order thinking skills. Children will also need to understand how to apply skills to real world applications.

Assignment 1
1. How would you defind Web2.0?
I would define Web 2.0 as an interactive way to sharing and collaborating information.
Web 2.0 sites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. Web 2.0 offers a rich interactive framework for learning.

Reading
I've read the entire first section and I'm anxious to change the manner in which I conduct my classroom. The quote in the article World Without Walls really has me thinking. The Quote that caught my attention is " Our ability to learn whatever we want, whenever we want, from whomever we want is rendering the linear, age-grouped, teacher-guided curriculum less and less relevant." Where do I begin?
