About me...
My name is Jonathan Wylie. I am an elementary school teacher who teaches in the Midwest. For nine years now I have taught at schools in the US and in the UK. I served as a technology specialist for 4 of those years, and continue to maintain an strong interest in the use of technology at my current teaching post. My 4th grade class website can be found at www.mrwylie.com.
When I am not teaching and blogging, I am a freelance writer who contributes and edits article for Bright Hub.com. You can see those articles here. I have also written commissioned content for Scholastic, Man Of The House.com, Roxio and more. If you are interested in contacting me about writing projects for your business or website, please use the contact link above.
About this Blog...
There are a myriad of teaching resources now available online, so the purpose of this blog is to try to aggregate the best of what is available for teachers to use in the classroom today. I read a lot of educational blogs, technology news, and social bookmarking sites to improve my own knowledge and skills, and I post to this blog the nuggets that I think are most useful for K-12 educators. Basically, I read the feeds so you don't have to!
I don't post everything from the sites I read, and the main reason for that is relevance. For the purpose of this blog, I will focus on web 2.0 tools and ideas that I believe will truly enhance the teaching and learning of students through technology. The posts I include are ones that I hope teachers will find relevant and useful in K-12 classrooms. Feel free to email me any of your ideas to improve this blog, or to recommend a site for the front page.
