Hi all:

Well, today I would like to talk to you about a couple of resources that are useful for lesson planning and sharing. Google in Education is one of them: http://www.google.com/edu/teachers/index.html .You might want to give it a try and prove by yourself how important these tools are in order to have a more effective class. Please explore it and let me know what you think about it and how you could implement it in the classroom. All your ideas are more than welcome! Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm very excited about sharing ideas with you, especially about educational technology. I'm Carlos Reyes, I'm a teacher at Centro Cultural Colombo Americano in Cali and I lead the Multimedia Room along with Verónica, another Colombo Americano teacher. I love getting students engaged into their learning through technology. I'm pretty much going to be sharing with you what I have learned on this topic and would like to hear about your ideas and experiences.

We have created a couple of web pages to share and give information to our fellow teachers in our institute, but I'm sure, It will help you guys as well: colomboresources.weebly.com and facebook.com/colomboresources

I hope you enjoy all the activities, tools and articles we have created with so much enthusiasm. Finally I have a question so we can exchnage ideas: Can you think of reasons teachers should embrace internet technologies today? Here's an article about it: http://www.emergingedtech.com/2009/05/5-reasons-why-educators-need-to-embrace-internet-technologies/

Hope to hear from you soon!
