Dianne Krause
Dianne Krause is a Technology Staff Development Specialist and Classrooms for the Future coach in the Wissahickon School District in Ambler, Pennsylvania. She has a blog titled, A Whole New Dianne, which is probably one of the best resources that I have found so far in EDM310.
During my first visit to her blog, I commented on a blog post she titled, Daily Digital Discoveries 04/11/12. In this post, Dianne lists two links. The first one is for The Partnership for 21st Century Skills. The second link is for Digital Citizenship Education, which is a website where you join (for free) and have access to different curriculum. I became a member and have briefly reviewed some of the material within the site.
In my comment, I expressed how I felt that I had hit the "jackpot" with her digital discoveries. She seems to do a great job of posting regularly with new "discoveries". Both of the website have creative content, that will be beneficial to me as a future educator of America.
My second comment was directed at another, Daily Digital Discovery post on 04/18/12. This posts focuses on a website named, iKeepSafe. This website is organized by a non-profit group of consultants, industry leaders and international government leaders to develop and distribute K-12 educational materials. This site is easy to navigate and has information for both educators and parents. As a parent, our children's safety is one of our many concerns. This website provides materials that parents and teachers alike can use to help enforce and demonstrate safety online with students.
My goal is to share resources, such as iKeepSafe, with educators in my community in the hope that they will strive to integrate technology more in our classroom. I feel that it is such an important step that needs to be taken. By reading blogs like this one created by Dianne Krause, I feel more confident and comfortable discussing and demonstrating technology tools in the classroom and in my everyday life.
