Hey there fifth grade! I wanted to thank all of you for the well received session this morning about technology integration. There was a very positive feeling in the room and I was encouraged that all of you came in this morning with an open mind to learn something new. The sharing and collaborating that took place between buildings was impressive, to say the least.
Today's session, though, in my mind was simply planting the seed. The hope is that you were inspired by something you saw or heard and it is only the beginning of what will grow in your own classroom. Please, feel free to contact me (or your technology teacher, for help and support with whatever you decide to do. I will be posting resources and ideas on this blog and mine as the next few weeks move along. My hope is that they will support you, as well.
I look forward to working with you again soon...

I wish I had been at the fifth grade tech workshop. I was on your wiki and intrigued. I need to know more about the "google pages stuff" for teachers (especially docs.) and diigo. Think about "raising the quality of writing" by having a student post a piece of writing on docs and getting revision ideas based on the teaching of a fifth grade teacher in a different building!
Throw an application like Skype in the mix and teachers and students from various buildings could conference 'face to face' from two different places!
