One Teacher’s Learning Journey with 2.0

Technology, Passion and Learning: That was the title of Shirley Rinaldi’s Prezi at Friday’s Embracing Innovation Conference ( Twitter hashtag: #eic11).

Shirley teaches 6th grade humanities and she’s worked at PDS since 1993. She writes a blog Talking the Tech Walk with another middle school teacher and you can follow their story there.

This year she has been on a teaching and learning exploration using 2.0 internet tools to enhance her humanities work  and empower her students.

The journey began at a conference two years ago. And was propelled by a tweet from the past.

But let the Prezi tell the story of that journey.

Here’s a link to her students’ class blog and below is a short video of four of those students describing their favorite tool (up to now, of course).
