Snow days

As the weather is looming, I wonder, how could schools be using technology in more meaningful ways to avoid snow days?

Here is an article about one school that is doing this.  http://voices.washingtonpost.com/answer-sheet/technology/school-district-turns-snow-day.html

What is a blog?

What is a blog anyway! ?

Question 2

Find a blog that is relevant to you in your educational employment role.  Review the blog and post your review on your blog. (Post this by Friday) Then also visit two of your classmates blogs and give them some feedback on the blog they reviewed.

Question Number 1

Class here is your first question for you to answer on your blog.

Look around your school or learning place. What do you think it means to have meaningful technology integration happening? What tells you that its happening? (ie.. what evidence must be present?) Give an example of the last time you saw meaningful integration happening?

Post your response to your own blog - (make sure to summarize the question).. Respond to two others as well) Ask a question, offer agreement with an example, or disagree with an example.
