Techpedagogy

I was browsing the You Tube site and found this video about teachers fearing technology. I wonder how my TwT class will respond to it.

This is a new experimental blog to explore and use in my educational classes. This summer was exhaustingly interesting and educational as far as new Web 2.0 tools and services. I try every new tool and service that appears on the Internet to later recommend to my students. I will be sharing all experience I have gained during the summer with the teacher candidates in my new Methods classes in the Fall.

It is amazing what you can do nowadays while learning the content or preparing materials for teaching.

The workshop I lead was a big hit at the CAE conference in Fairfield University in June, 2007.

Here is my PPT and wiki site at the workshop.

I was excited to share my enthusiasm about Web 2.0 environment with the participants at the workshop. I had about 40 people in the computer lab. Here are some pictures from the conference from my slide show at my Flickr site. There are so many tools and services on the Internet that can help to encourage students to be engaged in active learning and inspire teachers to teach effectively to the needs of digital students.
I hope my students in all my methods classes will have the same inspiration as I do in learning the new emergent technologies in order to effectively teach in the era of digital media and web 2.0 services.

An exciting conference will take place on June 6 through 8 at Fairfield University, CT.

This is my second time to participate in this inspiring event.

I am conducting a workshop on the topic “Web 2.0 Environments: Challenges and Opportunities for Learning and Teaching.”

I have a lot of ideas how to run the workshop. It depends on how much time I will be granted and what computer lab I will get for the session…

Ludmilla this is great! Hello to everyone else. Ok, so here is the first question on the blog.. Has a time been confirmed for us getting together when Mindy comes? Also, what happens if it snows? I heard that we are supposed to have a winter storm this weekend.
