As an educator I have been able to try a great variety of
technology in my classroom, both with my students and with teacher colleagues.
During this past year I was able to implement the use of Web 2.0 tools as part
of my lessons. These helped me extend the learning experience beyond the classroom
walls through the creation of a class blog. In the classroom, my students
learned how to use tools such as Wordle and ReadWriteThink applications. With my co-workers I was able to share
thoughts and ideas through the use of Google sites and wikis. As an aspiring administrator I can see the
benefit these tools bring to the table, and I am glad to know that our district
has taken provisions to offer the implementation of Web 2.0 tools in a secure
manner.
I can see our campus effectively moving towards the
educational environment of the 21st Century through the
implementation of technology and Web 2.0 tools.
