Derrall Garrison has tagged me on a new meme, called “Passion Quilt” which originated from Miguel Guhlin. So what image could encapsulate what I am passionate about and what I want my students to learn?

There could only be one.

There are so many valuable tools currently available to teachers that allow us to easily share what is going on in our classrooms with other teachers, students and schools. I am passionate about using technology to support this open ethos within my classroom – not only between classes and children in my own school but beyond that too.

I firmly believe that as students collaborate with others they begin to see beyond their own location and culture. It offers them a glimpse, an insight into another child’s perspective on the world, that can only be a good thing.

I am going to tag five more people:

• Ewan Macintosh
• Alex Ragone
• John Pederson
• Alec Couros
• Julie Lindsay

3 Simple Meme Rules:

• Post a picture from a source like FlickrCC or Flickr Creative Commons or make/take your own that captures what YOU are most passionate about for kids to learn about…and give your picture a short title.
• Title your blog post “Meme: Passion Quilt” and link back to this blog entry.
• Include links to 5 folks in your professional learning network or whom you follow on Twitter/Pownce.
