What a great example scaffolding learning using ICT. It is also a great first step to creating digital stories.

Ms. Dragonsinger, your post this week was really interesting! The title says it all! I think that it is wonderful that you have managed to get your class excited about learning! The fact that you had so many students wanting to Skype that you actually had to divide them into groups says volumes about you as a teacher! Great post!

The other big thing from the exchange was how excited the teacher was at our end, that was her first time on Skype and everything went wonderfully well, just a great, great learning experience for everyone involved!

Mrs. Dragonsinger,
All I can say is, “Wow”! What you have done with your classroom is very inspirational. The children seem as though they are having fun while learning. They are using tools similar to college students! I enjoy reading your blog because it gives me ideas for my future classes.
Thank you,
Rachael Locklin

Hello Dragonsinger!
I am a student from Dr. Strange’s EDM 310 class from the University of South Alabama. We are located in Mobile, Alabama. I was also an elementary teacher for 7 years and I am taking this course for professional development. I have been assigned to comment on your blog for the next three weeks. I am so excited that I was assigned to you and I have added you to my personal learning network so I look forward to following you and your class all year long . I am so impressed by your classroom and the innovative ways you are using technology with your students. It is unbelievable all you have accomplished in 4 weeks. The art integration is fabulous too! The symmetry project and photo enhanced pictures were in fact very nifty! I also think it is great that you guys use and have access to a real library. What a great way to teach authentic skills. I too feel that it is important that teachers be continuous learners. Thank you for your posts and for sharing your thoughts and ideas with others. Your posts will help spark the imagination of current and future teachers everywhere. Please check out my blog at: http://butlersherikedm310.blogspot.com

Ms. Dragonsinger,
I am a student from Dr. Strange’s edm310 class and have come to your page for an assignment. I will be summarizing your posts, along with two other teachers, on my blog, which can be found at locklinrachael.blogspot.com on or before March 21. The class blog itself can be found at edm310.blogspot.com.

I found your post to be very inspiring. As teachers, I feel that we should make the most use out of technology to better educate our students. Twitter used to be of no interest to me, but I have recently begun seeing it’s value. Thank you for your wonderful post!

Am involved in educational digital resource development and would love to learn more about how you integrate tech tools/googleapps etc into teaching lessons.

I/we could learn so much form you to inform future developments. If ok, how best to get / keep in touch?

Always happy to help and really sorry about the blog being spammed

I use that explanation to explain how anti-splog works to others also. I hope they had a chuckle at how I explained it.
