Hi, This is Emilee's page!

Here is what I learned about Noah Beaumont:

Jog the web: create a map/guide to flow through websites. I created one for Games for my students. [|JOG_THE_WEB]

After the tug of war: Technology is complex. It is a human invention and just like everything we have invented there are pros and cons. I will always take both perspectives into consideration. If you believe completely one way or another, your are ignoring many valid concerns. I LOVED the Video The Inner Net. This really sums up so many great ideas about the Internet.

Flat Classroom:

__I believe that when we broke down the walls of the classroom, a small crack was made on the walls of the world"__ __They naturally tailored the technology they were already using outside of school to these collaborations, gaining an understanding of—and appreciation for—international peers at the same time.__has told us, this is no small feat in a world in which nationalism reigns. At a time when nations seem intent on building fences, is there hope for opening doors?__hey knew that if they could use digital tools to foster international collaboration, their students would not just walk away with a better understanding of tomorrow's workplace—they'd walk away with a better understanding of one another.__

Collaborative:Gobal, connection,  __How Flat is my classroom?__  I love the idea. I could see this being particularly effective for upper elementary, Middle and high school. They are at a stage where they are realizing an expanded world, they can empathize with others and relate to them in a purely digital sense. They could broaden their understanding of the world and others perspectives For young students, I would find this difficult to implement. Due to their developmental egocentricity, and limited literacy skills.

ideas for my classroom: Skype interviews Google Earth field trips Actual Field trips- classroom without walls. Voki "Pen Pals"

Goal for the coming year: Get my students "out" of the classroom more often via the web or other resources.   Our Collaborative Work: Responsible Digital Citizens
