Technology has really gone a long way and we could almost find anything in the internet, and this is the best place where we could share our passion and interest. We have to take advantage on what technology has to offer. <a href="http://degreework.net" rel="nofollow">Degree Work</a> Footprints in the Digital Age is a masterpiece, I’ve just finished reading the article and wanted to share it with my fellow practice teachers.

It has interested me in reading further on the subject. I know the power that placing responsibility in the hands of our students but am often fearful that it will not work. I work in a school that few students the parent support necessary to make the transition easily. Our class sizes are increasing each and every year and empowering the students would ease some burdons as well as let them learn to develop the necessary life skills of making choices and sticking with them.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It made my day to visualize a room full of 2nd graders encouraged by a thoughtful teacher. Keep up the great work and sharing! Best to you! Erin,

I currently teach 2nd grade students and while reading your post thought it was very self-assuring how much the world is becoming a better place for learners. There used to be only one way to learn a new concept in school and if that was not mastered then you were considered "unknowledgeable " in that area. Nowadays, students are being praised for finding new and unique ways to solve problems. I really agree with the part in Will's article, "Footprints in the Digital Age," where he states that," Sharing is the fundamental building block for building connections and networks..." That statement is so true for all learners. I encourage my students every to find new ways to solve the same problems and I praise not only the concrete ideas but also the ideas that are creative and exhibit a new way of thinking. In that aspect, students are becoming responsible for not only teaching themselves but letting everyone around them learn with them.
