Web 2.0 Educator

After reading the two blogs by cool cat teacher Vikki-Davis and Wes Fryer, I decided to chose Wes Fryer. Wes provided a website called Virsona; this website is designed for people to talk to certain personalities. These personalities can include Abraham Lincoln, your hero, your dog, anything or anyone. He used this as an example to integrate technology into the classroom . I love the idea of having a program like this in the classroom. I think it is creative and fun. It is a great way to learn and it is a great way to keep your students engaged. This website allows to you be creative and sometimes that's hard to do when teaching. I like Wes' idea about technology in the classroom: you don't always have to use it but be aware what's out there and make sure you give your students an opportunity to have creative learning, and technology is a great way to do that.
