C4T 2

For C4T number 2, I commented on Angela Maiers's blog. Angela Maiers is an educator who firmly believes in the implementation of technology and specifically social networking tools into the curriculum. She runs a consulting firm that assists schools and teachers who want to also implement this into their classes. The first post of hers that I commented on was an open letter to school leaders. In this letter she hopes that they will take initiative and fight complacency in schools. She wants them to make the move to incorporate technologies into the classroom. She also speaks to those who have begun to make the move telling them that she is thrilled with their decision and implores them to use these tools to help students think on deeper levels.

The second post I commented on was a post written by a 6th grade teacher in Georgia named Debbie Stephens. In this post she basically talks about how she views her students as geniuses and hopes for them to view themselves that way. She talks about how she pushes them to create ideas and apply them to make her classroom a better place. She seems like a teacher who is passionate about her work and one that can truly make a difference.
