Clarence, I really enjoyed your presentation. I, like you, question the curriculum that we teach our children. Does the traditional liberal arts curriculum still fit our information-rich landscape? Do we continue to teach our students the same skills and concepts we learned as students? Are we truly preparing them for their future or our past? Thank you for sharing your part of the world with us.

Clarence, Thank you for addressing such an important subject. I really enjoyed your presentation. It truly does open one’s eye’s about why classroom 2.0 is so important in today’s ever changing society. You have shown that students can actually be teach themselves and create their own work if given the access to the correct tools (which are free). You have addressed a very important need for educators to act as facilitators of knowledge. Collaboration and networking is they key to teaching in today’s world. I just wish more people in school administration felt the same. Thanks for all the great classroom ideas and tools, your tour was really great.

Hi Clerence,
I am in Dean Shareski’s class, and I just wanted to say that I like the way you related networks so much to daily life. For some people who may be reluctant to learn technology and change, this could very well be the key to them realizing the importance of online tools and how they connect you with the rest of the world. I think students should get the opportunity to be in classrooms like this all the time.

I like Clarence’s statement that learning is a collective process. How right he is!! It takes a whole “village” to teach a child. It is important to collaborate with all stakeholders involved in this process.

There’s no question that the possibilities for learning through technology are vast. With networked computers, the classroom is no longer confined to its four walls, and school is no longer confined to its campus. I do think we must keep our enthusiasm in check a little, especially in classrooms where are students are not reading and writing at grade level. In our highly technological society, fewer students are reading for pleasure and many schools are floundering. You’d think there would be an opposite trend with all the resources as our disposal.

I like the idea to create a studio in the classroom but for me this is still a challenge. When you teach high level of math classes to show the real life application is already a challenge. It seems that collaborating with other teachers in school is not enough. May be I need to expand my network!

Creating an environment that will foster creativity, collaboration and learning while using new tools in the classroom is a tough act. I can see why many teachers stay with the old ways of delivering the curriculum. I am surrounded by quite a few teachers in my school who does not believe their students can be creative, dynamic, critical thinkers or citizens. Its’ a shame. They are also closed to new tools students need in the future. Depressing as this may be, I am also around teachers who are very dedicated to their profession and who continually seek ways of improving their teaching. There are teachers at my school who stives to learn the new tools for themselves and their students. So, there is hope afterall.
