Thanks for sharing your classroom! I really enjoyed learning how y’all (Can you tell I’m from Texas?) learn each day. I plan to share your sites with my teachers!
Wow, I am so inspired…. I teach Year 4 in Beijing and you have given me a bunch of great ideas.
A couple of questions -
1) how long does it take you to manage all of this every week?
2) how do I find the movement videos you were showing on YouTube. It is blocked here in China but I do have a proxy and can download and convert so would love to use what I saw.
Again, thanks for the inspiration.

WOW just doesn’t cover my thoughts after watching your video! Luckily I have two monitors so I could watch, stop, check out your blog, wiki and the great resources you shared. Do me one favor…please tell your students I said they are very lucky to have you as their teacher! Thanks!!!

Amazing presentation of how you use technology in your classroom. I’m a teacher of year 3 children (7-9) and am on the journey of incorporating blogs and wikis. I was amazed by how technology is woven into your school day and how your class are readily using these technologies. I reallly liked how you use the wiki as a simplified launchpad for the web. Would love to visit…

How great that you use technology as a tool in helping students understand better. I was awestruck when I saw the video. This is precisely how children should learn. I also think that how to videos and online training sessions can help them immensely.
