I’ve been working on getting a resource together for teachers that integrates technology, reading, writing and active living. I am pleased to say that the Active Minds, Active Bodies wiki has come along nicely. Check it out. There are downloads as well as demonstration lessons and online examples. Dr. LeDrew and I have sent proposals to present our work at two conferences next year. Here is hoping our proposals get accepted.
I am excited to be teaching grade seven math, health and physical education. I hope to continue creating wikis to support the district Math Makes Sense series. For health and PE, I’ll integrate writing by using this new wiki. Please feel free to comment or add resources to any of these wikis. Watch for grade seven ebooks this fall on the wiki.
This is my final class for my graduate studies. I did it….yipee!! As I think about the past two and 1/2 years I must say that I have learned a lot. I am particularly pleased with how I have been able to take my learning from my last class with Dr. Alec Couros and apply it to my final course. If I do any more course work, it will probably be in the online learning forum. I like the freedom of these courses and I love being able to share my work with others. I must be in the final 1/3 of my career, for I feel I have knowledge to share with others. Web 2.0 provides me with the tools to do so.
Congrats on finishing. I will have to check your wiki out.

Thanks Dave,
Unfortunately, I won’t be at the convocation ceremonies. I had to choose either that or Baltimore for a wedding. Baltimore won without much thought. I’ve taken a bit of a break from blogging the last couple of weeks. Getting geared up for the new year thought right after I get back from Whitehorse on the 15th.
