Things 1 and 2

I am participating in 23 things as a way to enhance my skill set with the Web 2.0 tools. I am a district professional development specialist. Although I am familiar some of these tools, I would like to learn more and experience them first hand.

Creating this blog was a very simple process. Like most Web 2.0 tools, it was very intuitive and user friendly.

Web 2.0 tools need to be integrated into the classroom. Our students simply need alternative ways and "hooks" to engage them and KEEP them engaged in learning. Just keep in mind.... we aren't changing WHAT we teach, we are changing HOW we teach...... Take baby steps!
