Feel free to join and add your 2 cents too! @Jenn Starting small is absolutely critical - especially at the elementary level. I think it's more important to have small successes, than try to tackle the world in one go. A small success leads to more small successes, which (hopefully) leads to changed classroom practice. Definitely a lesson I learned in a big way this year! @Ian

Especially when introducing a new concept to young learners, it is vital to outline the steps and focus on each one, as you have done. As a 5th grade teacher, I have learned that my students need a foundation to build upon before diving into a project. You reminds us as educators to start off small. We cannot develop a technology-based classroom overnight. Instead, we should start by a few small projects and allow ourselves and our students to become comfortable with technology. From blogging, perhaps we can move to podcasts, videos, and other projects that require a mastery of skills to complete. Kim,
