I listened to “Obstacles to Opportunities Keynote 2007, Whys and Wherefores”, by Brian Crosby a 5th grade teacher.  He has taught school for 26 years.  Mr. Crosby is clearly in tune with how technology can enhance learning.  He uses blogging to improve student confidence and writing.  He also uses Digital Video in many ways.  The one I found most interesting was enabling a student who was home bound to participate in classroom instruction. 

 His main focus seems to be helping students to feel good about their work, thereby creating in students a commitment to their own learning.  I really see the benefit in what’s being done with technology in the classroom.  Thanks Mr. Crosby!

I think I might take a stab at digital video in the classroom.
