Amy -

I prefer the best practices and integration tips article types. Reading articles that focus upon educationally sound concepts that integrate technology exponentially increases our bank of knowledge and ideas. In addition, I would benefit from more information about using Google Earth and applying its features for elementary school students. Thanks.

Best practices is the best! We are always looking for new ideas and new approaches. Anything that will excite new learning, new teaching skills, new direction, and learning is what we need the most!

Karry,
Thank you for contributing to this discussion. If you look at the orange banner on netTrekker Village, you will see that I have a Best Practice contest going on now. The winning entrant will receive an ice cream party and a Target gift card, as well as publication in the Back to School newsletter. Please submit one of your Best Practices and encourage your colleagues to do the same.
Good luck!
Amy

I always want to see examples and ideas for best practices and integrating technology into the classroom. I get so many ideas from those who share their success stories.

Amy,

Best Practices has my vote. With the diversity of our students today and the demands made upon our time, good teachers are always looking for new and better ways to reach their students. I teach high school English and would like to see some best practices for this age group. Thanks for giving us a chance to choose what we would like to read.
