Welcome to //Blogs and Wikis in the Secondary Classroom!//

I appreciate your interest in learning how to integrate blogs and wikis into your classroom to enhance student achievement.

This workshop will span over two weeks (8 days). The first week, Monday-Thursday, will be geared toward beginners in the four major content areas: English, Mathematics, Science and History. Please, before proceeding into the classes, visit the //Determine Your Course// page. Here, you will determine if you need to start with beginner classes, or decide if you can wait until week two and begin in the experienced classes. Of course, we want the classes to be meaningful; no need to waste your time with material you already know!

For participants in the experienced courses, teachers will be split into groups according to discipline. I will be instructing all Secondary English educators.

A little about myself... **Brittany Love:** English 10 and AP Language and Composition Instructor; Technology Instructional Specialist

I began teaching at Largo High School in Prince George's County, MD in 2009. While there, I gleaned knowledge and ideas from the pedagogical practices of other educators in the building. These observations set the foundation for my desire to integrate technology into the classroom. As an avid user of technology, I decided that showing students how to do meaningful and productive things with the tools they love will prepare them to be more competitive individuals in the global society. Interestingly enough, I gained whiff of the University of Maryland University College's Instructional Technology program. Here, I matriculated, earning a Masters of Arts in something I love and love sharing -- Instructional Technology.

I look forward to working with you!

Educationally yours,

Brittany Love
