Wonderful job on getting students excited about learning. I loved the inclusion story. You not only taught students how to use technology, you taught them about compassion, caring, and helping others. As teachers, we are always looking for ways to model those core values. Great way to think out of the box! Keep it up! You have inspired me.

Brian, you continue to blow me away with your work (and your students). I used your “Inclusion” video last year with my elementary ed. students. I continually seek to remove obstacles from the teachers and students I work with in their technology use. It’s a tremendous lift to see someone in the “trenches” making a difference in their classroom. I wish my 4th grade daughter was in your class!

I really enjoyed it. The way you were able to show through a students eyes, true curriculum integration. You helped prove that technology can truly enhance the learning experience for all students. They really are learning to teach themselves. As for overcoming obstacles, you have provided an excellent example of how we need to be more optimistic and find ways around them. My question is, how do we remove the obstacle of getting full access to theses tools for students? Many school policies and firewalls do not allow blog or wiki sites. Thank you for an inspiring presentation, I especially enjoyed your student videos.

You can’t expect to walk into a classroom for the first time and immediately connect with every student, make everything clear to everyone and teach every child everything he or she needs to know. What you can do, though, is learn from the experience of successful teachers. We’ve designed our resources for new teachers to share the ideas and experience of excellent teachers worldwide to help you find ways of learning from colleagues in your own school and school system.

I really enjoyed the dance mat typing. What a great way to get kids up and moving while learning!
