Sheri: Connecting in the Cloud
Gifts Received
Sheri Edwards has not received any gifts yet
Hello
Students today enjoy the connectedness of social networking; it is part of their very being. My goal is to bring my instruction into that cloud to teach the content required in ways that inspire online responsibility and ethics in this new, very public world.
Last year, we wrote on our wiki and created a Voice Thread for President Obama with two other classes in the United States setting goals for helping our communities.
I've learned very much about Google from the Google for Educators Site and from Tweets on Twitter.
My students participated in the National Writing Project's Letter to the President project for which Google Docs was a partner. This fantastic experience helped students journey into the cloud of online communication and networking. I will continue to learn as much as I can to help my students learn to navigate responsibly through the Internet community.

Sorry if this question has come up before, I'm new to the site. I've been contemplating the possibility of going back to school to get a PhD and would love to focus on instructional technology. I'd appreciate and suggestions or feedback on programs…
For sure! I would argue that we have a responsibility to help build a student's identity.
"Are web resources mature and stable enough to abandon textbooks in the classroom?"
"Does a shift away from full-featured computers towards mobile devices compromise the ability of students to create in the classroom?"
"Does a school have a respon…
