The Burlington (VT) Free Press did a story on Wilson Central Middle School teacher Tara Weegar, a Kidblog teacher!
How do you use technology in your classroom?
There’s this argument that technology takes away from a child’s creativity, but I disagree with that. It actually allows you to be more creative because it’s so immediate. You don’t have to be afraid to make mistakes. You can erase and delete. The Internet has always been a way to gain information, but that’s not how we use the Internet anymore, it’s so much more than that. You learn by interacting, by making games, blogs, using wikis, glogs and Weebly.
Kidblog.org didn’t get a shout-out but we’re glad to see teachers using new technology getting recognition from their community.
