As the Technology Coach at St. Francis of Assisi Middle School, it is my role to help our teachers with the implementation of different technologies in their daily lessons. Certainly, one of the reasons that I was chosen for this role is my knowledge of and love for advancing technologies; however, in addition to this, I believe that my enthusiasm and willingness to try new things in my classroom is my major strength.
Beginning early in 2012, I will have my students begin their journey towards digital fluency by creating their own blogs to share their learning with others in and outside of the class. We have to see past the vision that education is limited to the classroom.
You can follow my progress through the transformation of my lessons with this blog. I will also be using this space as a means of communicating with and interacting with my students on the world wide web.
Parents, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this initiative.
Students, your first task is to watch the video that I posted above and reply in my comments section about how you would like to explore this concept of 21st Century Learning. What are the skills that you think will be most useful when you begin your career? In what ways can I transform my lessons to meet your digital needs?
