Ruchira, I love the opening quote you found, and I think it perfectly states the biggest benefit that can be found from collaboration. Just reading it made me excited about the collaboration opportunities that […]

Kelly Hannon commented on the post, To Be Private or Not To Be Private….That is the CHOICE?, on the site Mary Miller 1 year, 2 months ago
I agree that there are two sides to this. I love things that are convenient. It’s great when things are suggested for me and I really do love them. But I worry, like you, that these search results meant just […]

For our final project, Mary and I wanted to create something that would be useful now at our school. A RUP was recently created for the elementary school, but we continued to wonder how we would address the […]

Kelly Hannon wrote a new post, Class 6: Understanding Web Connections, on the site 2teach 1 year, 2 months ago
I, like many others, take the world wide web for granted. I don’t often think about how it works or where it came from. I love the internet and all that it provides. I spend hours reading email, reading […]

Issues of student safety are not new, but they are changing as available technologies change. When I was in middle school, mean girls did their damage using notes and phone calls. Now, bullying happens […]

Kelly Hannon commented on the post, Copyright..Copyleft?, on the site Mary Miller 1 year, 3 months ago
Mary, I felt the same way during our class discussions, wavering back and forth to both sides of the discussion, seeing both sides of the debate. Yes, we need to value the creator, but we also want to allow for […]

What is our obligation as educators?
As a second grade teacher, the word copyright doesn’t come up too often in class. That does not mean that I have less responsibility to help my students understand this […]

Our class discussion on copyright has been well timed. Just this week we are in the midst of the SOPA and PIPA debate, and this week’s reading provided some background on the discussion. I realized that I, […]

Kelly Hannon wrote a new blog post: Collaborative Projects for the Classroom 1 year, 7 months ago
The only online collaborative project I have had previous experience with is http://www.iearn.com. I have not used it in my own classroom, but at my last school, one of our teachers was a huge fan of the site and always encouraged people to get involved. I have been on there several times to check out [...]

Kelly Hannon commented on the blog post Coetail 1.4 1 year, 7 months ago
I think we require it the same way we required language arts teachers to go to LA training, math teachers to go to math trainings, elementary teachers to go to Restitution meetings, etc. Of course, I believe there should be an intrinsic motivation to attend these training but given the demands on teachers, technology is [...]

I loved the speed geek sessions we did during our last to Coetail classes. This format is the best way I have seen to expose teachers to a bunch of new resources, and I found so many new tools that I am excited to see more of. I presented on Wolfram Alpha . Wolfram Alpha is a [...]

Check out the UbD unit I created with Mary and Chad: Communicating Computational Fluency . This is a math lesson where students use Explain Everything to show and explain their mathematical thinking about computations. The lesson was designed for a second or third grade classroom, but can be adapted for any grade by changing the type of [...] -
Kelly Hannon wrote a new blog post: Coetail 1.4 1 year, 7 months ago
While reading, S haping Tech for the Classroom , I was thinking about “digital natives” and “digital immigrants” and the impact these ideas have on the classroom. Right now, many teachers who did not grow up with technology feel less comfortable using these resources in the classroom. There are many teachers who are intrigued by technology, but [...]

Kelly Hannon wrote a new blog post: Coetail 1.2 1 year, 8 months ago
I really appreciated the article Bloom’s Taxonomy Blooms Digitally . I like that the revised taxonomy has switched from nouns to verbs for the descriptors, making it easier to apply directly to student thinking in the classroom. The key verbs for each level give quick ideas for application and the digital additions make it clear where tech [...]

During this course, I hope to learn about new technology applications that I have not yet seen and learn to to use those I already know about move effectively. I hope to get ideas about implementing technology more frequently and seamlessly into my second grade classroom, particularly in mathematics. In the past, I have used [...]

Kelly Hannon wrote a new blog post: Comfort Level with Tech 1 year, 8 months ago
My comfort level with educational technology and information literacy is at about a three out of five. I love learning new things and discovering new applications, but I feel like I still need to work on bringing all the things I learn about into my classroom, applying them to learning in the second grade, and [...]
