I love how you incorporated technology into your classroom. I did not know that having a conversation with someone miles away can be so easy.

I'm sure that your students were thrilled to speak to an author who cares about their hometown. I'm so glad Dr. Strange assigned your blog to me for my EDM310 class. I'll be keeping up with your blog to enrich my educational experience!

When you use actual video chats it really engages the class. You are right it is "pretty amazing" to talk with authors thousands of miles away. I imagine your class was notably more interested in what they were learning since you used visual effects. Keep up the good work!

I had a few opportunities, but let them slip away.

Over the next few weeks I will be following your most recent post and commenting on the main post that attract my attention. This post really caught my attention because I am planning on being an American History teacher, and being that I am from Alabama, the Civil War is one of my favorite topics to talk about.<br /><br /><a href="Edm310.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">EDM 310 Class Blog</a>Sam Gateshttp://gatessamedm310.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14110331.post-40409690334859202162010-05-25T12:50:06.296-05:002010-05-25T12:50:06.296-05:00I'm so glad to see another teacher doing a vid...I'm so glad to see another teacher doing a video call with an author! My eighth grade E/LA class did a call with author Jordan Sonnenblick earlier in the school year.

It reminded me of how simple it is to bring experts into our classrooms, provided we have no technical glitches and a willing author or historian. Your last question spurred some thinking for me too. Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156784418545421424noreply@blogger.com
