I so enjoyed so many of the ideas in this chapter. I looked and searched and got so many wonderful ideas about keeping students, parents and administration involved and knowledgeable about my classroom and what goes will go on in it. I really had no idea of how many technology resources there are out there. I guess I thought there were computers and it stopped there.
I went home and had a field trip around the world with my children on Google Earth and I am not sure who was more excited them or me? I think of all the incredible things that can be done with the click of the mouse. I can show them what the Eiffel Tower looks like, but somehow it makes more of an impact by flying them over the ocean and zooming in to Paris.
The idea of possibly being able to teach a lesson in my class and have another class see it, or see a great lesson another teacher does all through technology is an idea that really intrigues me. I often think that there are so many great ideas that other teachers have, but no good way to share the ideas with students. Now I see how this could be done, not only in the same school, but possibly across the ocean. Wow!!!
