I like to think of this as my online lab for practicing, talking about, and studying 21st century skills. I've got parts of the website for my classes, places for teachers, and some space for my ongoing reflections. Drop me a line if you find this useful or have a question. Thanks for stopping by.

Lego Robotics / Microworlds Programming
Bob, Well...Darn it: the standards got to me. In NJ there is nothing in the standards for programming in the elementary grades. So... No more Microworlds, No more LegoLogo Robotic programming with self made Robots. I shed a tear, but that's the government at work. Carry on!! and keep the faith.

Bruce, and sorry to hear about the demise of robotics there. Can you sneak them in under some STEM-type standards? There's more than programming to robotics, as you know. Engineering, physics, math? Or could you do an after-school FLL program?
btw, nice featuring of student work on your web pages.
