Thing 22
Here is the thing. All of this is very interesting, and I am definitely putting a mental bookmark in my mind to match these websites with future curriculum plans. However most of the things I find are just not that useful in my teaching situation. Our children are so young and we only have them for a short amount of time at irregular intervals. I really do like the idea of networking with teachers who teach what I teach. Visiting on the Classroom 2.0 I found one teacher who had several topics that interested me. As I went to several of her postings I began to feel like I knew her. (Wow I am really worried about the decline in honey bees, but glad to know it isn’t due to wireless, according to Spanish entomologist.)
I can certainly see how Ning and Classroom 2.0 can create a feeling of global connectedness. If I search some more maybe I can find a social network for K – 3 science teachers. Definitely it is a place for professional growth and learning.
