We’ll look at one teacher's success in implementing various web tools in a Language Arts curriculum. With a proper understanding of the tools, the medium can truly become the message. By introducing these concepts in an innovative, 1:1 classroom environment and allowing them to speak with the voice with which they are most comfortable, communication will continue well beyond their 45-minute period. When the student returns to her/his home environment, they can re-connect withidentical tools and concepts in an environment that they have collectively created. . ||> //**C25**// || Devon Middle School || One-to-one learning and technology-rich learning environments scream for a change in the rules of the learning game.

Come find out how to use the power of the web to allow learners to work together in a digital learning environment, using information as a raw material to connect with new understandings. . ||> //**C124**// || School District 18 Technology Mentor || With the read/write web, personal learning communities need not be limited by geography or space. Much like a journal, blogging can be a wonderful way for all learners to reflect on their own story while sharing their ideas with an authentic, global audience.
