5. 21 st Century Learning is about change but the Education domain has been the last to integrate technology in the everyday work day. With the help of Web 2.0 tools, teachers have access for a world of information and free use of great tools for any curricular area. (Pilter, 2007). Examples: Wikispaces - writing stories, checking math problems, collaboration on projects Google -besides “googling” it- Docs for word processing, PowerPoint, Excel, earth images with creation of.kmz files and group chat Blogging- writer’s journal or logging daily activities Podcasting - using Garage band to finish a writing prompt Digital Storytelling- taking videos, photos, music and voice with the combination of writing to tell a story that could be posted online

10. The Digital Citizenship page has specific information for all educators on the protection and education of the use of technology today. The site has ready links that can be used during training and updates that could be passed down using the main page of this site. The link Teaching Digital Citizenship is helpful lessons that are basic but meaningful for all grade levels. Teachers need and want these items planned out for them. They would be learning as they were teaching these ideas. I am and will use many of the contents from this site to update my Internet Safety Program that I put in place 2 years ago in my district. The technologies are changing rapidly so keeping the teachers informed is priority.
