Location: Blackboard Collaborate
We are thrilled to have Kathy Cassidy back on Classroom 2.0 LIVE to share her amazing journey of becoming a connected educator with her students. Kathy is a grade one teacher for Prairie South Schools in Moose Jaw, SK, Canada. Since 2005, She has a classroom blog and blogs for each of her students. On the classroom blog, she shares classroom happenings through pictures and video showing what the students are learning. Her students’ blogs have developed into online portfolios, showcasing their learning in writing, reading, math, science, social studies and health. They use drawings, screencasts, podcasts and videos to help convey their ideas. They also use wikis or google docs to collect information that will help their learning. They regularly use Skype to connect with other classrooms, friends or experts who can help to answer our questions. She uses a constantly changing list of other online tools as they are appropriate in her classroom as well as Nintendo DS and recently, a class set of iPads.
Her first book, Connected From the Start: Global Learning in the Primary Grades was published in 2013. She has won several awards, including the Canadian Innovative Teacher Award from Microsoft, the Canadian Regional Award for Reading and Technology from the International Reading Association, the Kay L. Bitter Award from ISTE and a Best in Class Award from Best Buy Canada.
