Well, three of us met at Starbuck's, got our Frappucino, and booted up our computers. Little did we know that we would have to pay for wireless service. Yes, we are not computer savvy and it's the blind leading the blind!! We ended up back at our school with our Starbucks to get started setting up our blog. We were successful.
After setting up our blogs, we looked at other teachers' blogs. They are very impressive. The teachers have children's work and pictures posted. What I really like are the children's stories which the children actually read to you. Two questions, however, do come to mind. When did the teacher find the time for these children to read? It seemed very quiet while the children were reading. What were the other children in the classroom doing? Did the children do it on their own or was the teacher there to help? My friends and I discussed several possibilies for this. I am interested to know how teachers manage this.

The importance of Web 2.0
I really like the idea of Web 2.0. It sounds very interesting and exciting. I can see how students would be into this type of learning over the traditional style of teaching; especially middle and high school students. However, I do see many obstacles to this. Do I have the resources and time to incorporate this in my second grade classroom? Will parents accept this new type of teaching? I am sure it would require parent approval for their child to be on the internet. One of the articles I read, A Day in the Life of Web 2.0, was very interesting, but it took place in upper middle school. Can elementary school students do this? Maybe they can. I am interested to find out!!
