Just Jan: Creativity in the Classroom
http://justjan2wilkes.blogspot.com/2008/11/creativity-in-classroom.html
Saturday, November 15, 2008. Creativity in the Classroom. Students in my classroom are all part of a literature circle group. Groups are formed because the students are all reading the same novel, or the books they are reading are from the same series or perhaps they share a favorite author. Something happened however. Students began asking me if they could go outside the box and perhaps do something a little different than the choices provided. Of course, I agreed. The projects that began ar...I was so ...

Just Jan: Managing a 21st Century Classroom
http://justjan2wilkes.blogspot.com/2009/04/managing-21st-century-classroom.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. Managing a 21st Century Classroom. The following is a post I made to my Authentic Learning Blog about a year ago. At the end of the post, I will explain how a classroom like this is managed. What does a 21st Century Classroom look like? About ten minutes before lunch today, I looked around my classroom. I grabbed a pen and paper and walked around the room recording what students were doing. Two students adding titles and descriptions to Morpheus Fortuna's Flickr page. I rang the c...

Just Jan: January 2009
http://justjan2wilkes.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 10, 2009. Above is a Wordle created at worldle.net. The countries found in the wordle are the countries that visited Mrs. Abernethy's Global Gorillas Classroom Website. In 2008. The size of the country correlates with the number of visits from that country. Therefore, countries that visited more often are larger. A total of 67 countries visited in all!

Just Jan: Wikis, Blogs, and Diigo
http://justjan2wilkes.blogspot.com/2009/04/diigo-tutorial.html
Monday, April 6, 2009. Wikis, Blogs, and Diigo. Wikis are much more than glorified websites, however. They can be used to collaborate. Students can work together to create a website even if they’re not on the same computer, in the same room, in the same city or in the same country. My first experience with interactive wikispace work was on Project Lemonade. The collaborative nature of wikispaces is what makes them a true web 2.0 tool. Here is a great video on how and why to use wikis in a classroom.

Just Jan: Connecting Outside the Classroom
http://justjan2wilkes.blogspot.com/2008/11/connecting-outside-classroom.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Connecting Outside the Classroom. Teaching fifth graders poses a challenge in terms of how much to expose them to online social networking. Should they have a My Space page or Face Book? In my opinion, absolutely not! They are, however, right at the cusp of socialization, which makes it the perfect time to train and prepare them for it. In closing, I would like to share a creative way I used Gaggle last year with my classroom outside of school time. Before we went on Chris...

Just Jan: Creation of a Schoolyard Habitat
http://justjan2wilkes.blogspot.com/2009/03/creation-of-schoolyard-habitat.html
Thursday, March 12, 2009. Creation of a Schoolyard Habitat. In addition to writing skills, students did research on multiple topics. They learned through the National Wildlife Federation. That we could become certified as an official Schoolyard Habitat. I learned as an educator that there are national standards. After a lot of preparation, in the spring of 2000, the students were finally ready to break ground. A year later, the habitat was certified as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. We are a fifth grade c...
