I have also taught instructional technology and ESL, so I'm hoping this page can infuse the three and give both local and non-local teachers an opportunity to collaborate. I'm involved in several Spanish-language cultural organizations, like [|BostonRueda], a free salsa dance group, and El club de lectura , a Spanish-language book group that meets at the [|Connolly Branch of the Boston Public Library]. I also like to keep track of Spanish-language/ heritage activities to allow student involvement in the culture and to keep myself up to date with Spanish language and culture.

====Hello from the South End! My name is Kim Taylor Knight and I am a dance and theatre teacher for the Curley K-8 school. Here is a photo with K1 bi-lingual students from the beginning of last year. As you can see, even 4 year old children (as well as much younger ) are capable, confident and connected to technology. ====



 Therefore my role as a teacher needs to keep expanding, to include developmentally appropriate practices throughout the year. My hope is, that I we begin to share our best practices with each other, we will expand our vocabulary of ways to use technology in a relevant manner, with all students. Something about me that you might not know. I have been a storyteller for events and organizations, for over 10 years. Here is a short video of me telling for the "Storymobile" a summer literacy program for ReadBoston. This video is from 2006, I believe. media type="youtube" key="iY9twYjd318" height="344" width="425" I will add lesson plans later, for a unit that I will teach in the fall.

Gretchen Roche I am a middle school computer applications teacher. I teach grades 5-8. All students are currently using the //Microsoft Office 2007// suite. I am learning about Moodle and experimenting with it in an eighth grade class. I am starting to use wikis with two students that are working together, but are not in the same class. They are creating websites. I am hoping to try google blogger next.
