If you haven't had a chance, check out Joe's most recent blog post Learning from the Google Kids: Part 2. True, it's about the amazing kids that keep us on our toes, but it's really about YOU. You've set them up for success by learning about these tools yourselves, by having kids doing REAL writing all the time, on paper, on charts, on sentence strips, and sticky notes. You've made your classrooms places where all are learners and kids can be teachers, too. Thank you for being willing to embark on a journey where the destination is still unknown! I'm thrilled to be along for the ride!
