= **Welcome to Joe Nardo's Wiki page.** = =Time is always a problem for educators. Our lives are very busy and our responsibilities extensive. One of the greatest challenges for all educators is to move out of the realm of the "closed box" classroom in an effort to "de-privitize" our profession. It has been a natural tendency for teachers to want to "run their own show" once the classroom door is closed. However, research has demonstrated that teachers who collaborate with other professionals improve their practice that impacts student achievement outcomes. Easy to do - No! A natural thing for teachers - No! = =This "wiki" has been designed to give students enrolled in the summer session of EDSP 595 an opportunity to experiment with the use of technology as a tool to collaborate. We often are too busy during the day to meet and discuss issues with our colleagues. The advent of the internet and online colloaboration tools provides us with another resource to try. Let's practice online colloboration. = = = = Click on the Para-Educators link for your collaboration assignment. Email me if you have any questions. =
