With response to Tool #2, I believe it is critical that we nurture the humanistic approach to teaching in the classroom, while embracing all the valuable, peripheral sources of information made available through the installation of new technologies. As parents and teachers, we should embrace "balance".
My children are grown, so am out of the loop with respect to them coming home from school with all these great, new learning experiences in the classroom. It is all very exciting as long as we do not lose sight of "people".
I chose to comment on Shopping Teacher, Cashiola's Chronicles, Lindsey Buse's Blog, Gann's Gazette, and Ms. B's Notes. As more people "blog in", I will respond randomly. There are a lot of really good ideas out there!

I agree that we should not lose sight of people and we need to balance technology and real life. I think it is great that we have all this technology in education, but we need to make sure that our students still know how to talk to and deal with people in real life.
