Interesting how innovation is constantly stressed in the education field, yet many administrators refuse to allow such tools in the classroom. Effective classrooms are built on trust between the teacher and student. If you have that trust with your students, you should be able to incorporate the strategies necessary to innovate your students. Great post.

I believe there would be more conversations regarding digital citizenship, online behavior, what is acceptable and what is not. Now it is so easy to not address these issues with students both because they may be uncomfortable conversations to have and also because the tools are shut down, many do not feel they have any responsibility talking about what takes place outside of school walls. Thanks for the post. Also I have tagged you for the Passion Quilt. Here are the rules 1. Think about what you are passionate about teaching your students. 2. Post a picture from a source like FlickrCC or Flickr Creative Commons or make/take your own that captures what YOU are most passionate about for kids to learn about…and give your picture a short title. 3. Title your blog post “Meme: Passion Quilt” and link back to this blog entry. 4. Include links to 5 folks in your professional learning network or whom you follow on Twitter/Pownce.
