Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

I think Vicki Davis' style of teaching is quite interesting. It's a great idea to allow the students to experience and connect to the rest of the world. Her program allows an environment for creative growth as well as a place to focus on the strengths of each student. I'm really impressed with her classroom, and the benefits that it offers to the students is something they will be able to use as they get older.

The Digi Teen website is a great tool to use for learning. I thought it was really cool how the students could collaborate with others around the world in their studies. It's a great way to learn new ideas and to experience what they are actually learning about. I think more classrooms should be like that so students will want to be more involved with school.

  1. This way of learning was very interesting. I for one did not have the experience that these are having @ a high school level. We definently need more teachers like Vicki Davis in every school system.
