But then again, I can't knock it too much. Up until roughly 24 months ago I was pretty much a web 1.0 teacher and technology coordinator. <BR/><BR/>Great point about kids getting involved with little to no guidance and mentoring. Once we all start to take a more active role in this process I think we're going to see more incredible content produced by kids. Imagine being able to blend the experience and wisdom of a teaching adult with the natural enthusiasm and creativity of the young mind. Powerful stuff is likely to ensue.<BR/><BR/>@ann and lisa-I'm glad we were able to meet up here at USM. I certainly had a blast and I'm glad to hear that each of you have taken some actions (eg-started a twitter account, joined classroom 2.0, passing along Did You Know video to other peers, etc). Good luck during the rest of the semester if I don't meet with you again!Matt Montagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043255947997478607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23288864.post-29399148686343938762008-04-03T22:36:00.000-05:002008-04-03T22:36:00.000-05:00Matt~I was one of the preservice teachers that att...Matt~<BR/>I was one of the preservice teachers that attended this class. I wanted to thank you for sharing so much of the technology that I did not even know existed. I already subscribed to twitter and classroom 2.0. Thank you so much!<BR/>Lisa Heid~Lisa Heidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600823771171382862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23288864.post-31342434292070127632008-03-31T10:26:00.000-05:002008-03-31T10:26:00.000-05:00It looks as though you did an awesome job.

I often wonder now, how many things do I use now that existed back then. It is unbelivable to think that universities are embracing this so slowly. What we are ending up with are students who are changing the world themselves, with little or no guidance. In some cases this is perfectly acceptable, but I think we have a lot of catching up to do!Mr. Kimmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846178676356266417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23288864.post-80320662766184647442008-03-30T16:34:00.000-05:002008-03-30T16:34:00.000-05:00Matt,Thank you for introducing me to such wonderfu...Matt,<BR/>Thank you for introducing me to such wonderful concepts as creativity tools -vs- productivity tools and studio -vs- classroom. I have talked about our time together with several peers and instructors. I have also forwarded the link to Karl Fisch's "Did You Know Video" to several people. I look forward to meeting with you again.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Ann MauroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
