Summer Academy Finishes

We made it. Alyssa and I had the chance to meet some hard working, capable, inventive, motivated and creative teachers through the last three weeks of Summer Academy. Each week we learned about all the latest Web 2.0 tools, mindsets, and ways to incorporate them into the curriculum. Each teacher made a blog, wiki, or both as a final project and we saw lots of fabulous uses. One of my favorite parts of this job is meeting the extraordinary teachers working in today's schools. I also like the aspect of helping teachers find the light when working with technology in the classroom while helping others with less self confidence in technology make it through a class to feel empowered.
To see some of the public final projects please go to the Summer Academy blog.
Great job teachers! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and hear about the greatness in your classrooms.
