Helping others learn this week.
    I joined the Twitter session on Tuesday night. I'm beginning to relax with Twitter a bit.  I appreciated the comments on my research topic.

    I enjoyed Leslie’s blog and added to the conversation by discussing her project on vocabulary training.  I’m interested in following her work.  I also told her about the way our first grade core is implementing the new standards.  I agreed with what she said about the limits we have because of time.  I’m thinking that the system we are using is helpful for that.

    I was able to check out Amanda’s blog.  She had a great write up on the literacy aspects of the changes in the standards.  I’m hoping that my comments helped her with her research topic.

    Tiffany’s research question is interesting.  She is planning to investigate distance learning programs for kids.  I tried to ask questions that might help her in her quest.

What I learned:
    Pearltree .com is very cool.  So is Cybrarian.  I’m excited to learn more about these tools.

    I enjoyed the discussion on spelling and vocabulary on Leslie’s blog.  One of the comments on her blog sent me to Amazon to put a new book on my wishlist:  Bringing Words To Life: Robust Vocabulary Instruction.  I’m looking forward to reading that.

    I'm not a nature lover.  I could be the only non-nature lover in Alaska.  I moved to Alaska to marry a really hunky guy.  It's been way worth it!
