New Beginnings

I shared some of my learning experiences on ClassroomLearning 2.0 with some of my classes today. After explaining about the LibraryThing website, I told them my goal of getting all of our classroom library catalogued on that site at the end of the year, and that they were going to be the ones to do it. Disbelief that they were going to be allowed to do something like this was their first reaction, then delight and pride. It showed me that I definitely need to incorporate more technology into lessons, giving the students authentic activities that will help them succeed out in the "real world".
