Take Five Week One-2
The other comment I have to make on my personal learning journey for this week is how challenging it has been to balance teaching my students in my classes and teaching my colleagues through the 21st century learning cohort. It is amazing that we are facing the same challenges in our classrooms as teachers and then to see my colleagues struggling as learners. All of us our at different levels of interest-some want to try new things, some are far ahead and need us to move faster, others barely managing to keep up. It is almost more of a challenge to reach the interest level and keep my friends captivated in the classroom than it is to keep the interest level of my own students. I guess that is what constructivist teaching is all about- making the changes necessary to encourage the learning of all our students.

I think you all are doing an amazing job. What I loved about Mary not finding the value of blogs...in her classroom really challenges the way we think about technology and constructivism. I think the challenge for all of us will be, what can we add, change, adapt, using technology and constructivism, to spark learning. What else can we explore besides blogs?
I think that we all feel the same challenges towards the constructivist approach. What make the most impact on me is the fact that you are actually doing it. I like the way that you are doing what you are preaching.
It might not have an impact on everyone but you are changing my world.
