It's been a busy week applying all of the techniques I've learned in Professor Whittier's ED901 course at Worcester State University. I have put together a blog for my students at the high school (http://worcestergearup.blogspot.com/) to act as an online newsletter along with this blog to chronicle my journey into the land of Web2.0. These blogs have also been added to my account at Feedm8.com to ensure that my students can view them on their mobile devices.
I should clarify that I am not a teacher, but rather a college access professional working at an urban high school under a federal grant. My role is to work with first generation, low-income students in grades 9-12 to prepare them for a post-secondary education. I arrange college field trips, do individual counseling, and assist in the admissions and financial aid process for our students.
As the school year approaches (just 22 days away) I will be preparing my Web2.0 arsenal. I imagine there will be bumps but hopefully our students will be engaged and open to these new experiences.
