The Early Elementary Excuse

So we hear it all the time..."My kids are too young to do this.."

To be honest, I am really tired of the excuses. You can find a loophole for everything when you want to. What about adding technology into teaching for the lower elementary classes?
It's time to be proactive - let's think of some suggestions for what we could do on this blog.

• Why not involve the parents and have a parent/student wiki or blog where parents and students are responsible for posting. This is a great way to ensure that our students know that their parents are engaged in their education and it alos keeps them safe :)

Any other suggestions?

Wikipedia Idea

So I was reading chapter 4 or 6 or 9 in Richardson and I came up with a great idea for teachers introducing wikipedia to their students. In an attempt to teach students that anyone can edit a wiki and it is important to update and keep information correct the teacher could create an anonymous account and post non-true information for the kids to edit. That way they would learn the responsibility keeping a wiki as well as how important it is to keep information correct.
