The luck of the Irish wasn't with our class on March 17th and our class wiki was blocked. Since nothing fazes our leader, after our housekeeping matters were attended to, we jumped into our Circle within a Circle and shared our applied learning project ideas and learning summaries. Kathy W. shared her practical classroom technology experiences and we all visited bubblus.com and classtools.net.Terrific advice and we are all grateful for the sharing.
We attempted to define media literacy and recognized the complexity of the concepts. The Kaiser Foundation's Generation M2 wowed us and provoked us and started profound thinking rumbles that will be mixing and resonating in our brains for a long time. How to conceive of the many implications? How to see the good while steering clear of the shoals.
We had fun with animoto.com and used our time online to further our projects and to explore new introductions. But the undeniable fact remains: How can educators attempting to stretch themselves and become more technologically savvy not be discouraged when their class is BLOCKED? Each day we suffer the horrors of unreachable websites and excruciating slowness of our server. This ir real frustration.
