Wikis: Teaching with TED: http://teachingwithted.pbwiki.com/FrontPage The intent of this project wiki is to address: How can the TED talks be used as springboards for further discourse, exploration, reflection, and action? The individual pages not only contain the original TED talks but also additional references, resources, and activities about the topic and/or speaker.

She has an Ed.D., a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, a graduate certificate in Gifted Education, and is working on another Masters degree - this one in Technology in Education. She teaches gifted elementary students and online Masters in Education courses.. " I don't do teaching for a living, I live teaching as my doing, and technology has AMPLIFIED the passion." Jackie was a presenter at the K12 Online Conference in 2008 ([|Creative Web Tools For and By Kids]). She has created a fantastic site called WeeWebWonders for students ages 8-12 to collaborate in online projects. [|Wee Web Wonders] is an interactive site to showcase educational and creative uses of the major web tools used in the Creative Web Tools For and By Kids program. These include, but are not limited to, VoiceThread, Scratch, Podcasts, Slide Sharing, Sketchcast. Each page features a student example of the use of that web tool, widgets for visitors to rate and review the tool, a place for comments, and some fun, interactive games. Teachers can email Jackie to [|join the project].
