week 7: Brian Crosby = great tools = great work...where to next?

The Brian Crosby video was inspiring regardless what level you teach.  I say it was inspiring because he proves there are no boundaries in using technology. I was impressed by the balloon project and I was moved by the way he included his young student who was too ill to physically come to class. Something as impactful as either of these two things creates excitement in the kids in his classroom and, in turn must create excitement in the community.

I think about the young 4^th-grader who runs home after a day at school excited to tell his or her mom and dad about what happened at school and have it be completely positive! There is a lot to be said for that.

Here is a video about some older kids at High Tech High (HTH):

I think I missed out in something when I was in fourth grade...and again when I was in high school.
