About Us

More and more teachers are integrating technology in the classroom. After all, the world’s a changin’ and it’s scary how many kids know more about computers than their parents. Here at Blog.ClassroomTeacher.ca, we blog for many reasons:

1. to show cutting-edge ways that K-12 teachers integrate technology into the classroom,
2. to network with other teachers who blog,
3. to model for our students that some teachers in-fact do write, and the writing process isn’t something we just do in school.
4. to showcase our work

Although we teach in the province of Ontario (Canada), many of the ideas we discuss are applicable around the world. After all, the internet has truly made our world a global village.

• Blog.ClassroomTeacher.ca is where we write about our experiences integrating technology into our teaching practice.
