I, honestly, hadn't really thought about my own kids in that context. Even though both of them attend the school at which I teach, it still seems like they are students at a different school. I really need to think about my own kids in this context, though. They are both going to be students in my classroom next year. I already use technology "heavily" in my classroom (quoting my IT director here). I wonder what it will be like though when my own kids are coming home to contribute to the wiki, write on their blog, or go whatever direction we go this next year. My own kids are going to be the ones creating and that is exciting for me! Honestly, I've been disappointed that most of their teachers aren't trying new things. I wonder if that's why they aren't as engaged in their classes as I had hoped? Thanks, Wes, for letting Dawn share her ideas with us!
