We can't get enough of teaching and learning success stories here at Digication. We would like to share an article with you that we found on the Infinite Thinking Machine website (www.infinitethinking.org) recently.

This article introduces a 10th grade Computer Science classroom and a 6th grade Language Arts classroom, both incidentally in the Southeast U.S., Georgia and South Carolina respectively.

Both classrooms have put the community building aspects of Web 2.0 technology like wikis, Skype, and podcasting to work in the classroom with dramatic, positive impact on the educational experience of their students.

Their students are engaged, excited, connected, motivated, and HAVING FUN WHILE LEARNING! And they are not just learning about the subject matter introduced in these courses, but are rather gaining significant skills in other areas including technology, effective communication (not just in their classrooms, but with students in other countries!), creative expression, collaboration - the list goes on and on. Isn't that what school should be all about?

Huge pats on the back to Vicki Davis and Chris Craft, the teachers making this all possible for their students.
