PS 22 Video and Dr. Suess - The Zax


The Zax is a very good example of how some people are so uneager to change that they would rather let the world pass them by than change. As educators we cannot let that hapen to us we must be willing to change in the way we use technology in our teaching.

I think that it is important for students to post their work to blogs and in other ways because it opens up doors and presents opportunities that might otherwise not come to them. A great exapmle of this is how the elementary school students of the PS22 Chorus brought Stevie Nicks to tears as she watched a video of them singing a version of her song "Landslide." She invited the chorus to sing at Madison Square Garden for the Fleetwood Mac Show. If the students had not posted their song on the internet, they never would have been given such a great opportunity.
