Brent Coley is a 5th grade teacher at an elementary school in California. He developed this website out of a passion for computers but also because he understands that children today rely on technology and teachers should use that familiarity with technology to provide new and exciting ways for their students to learn. His website is a multimedia resource for his students and their parents. It features the students in webcasts showcasing what they've learned each week. It highlights student achievements, classroom projects, and the "student of the week." He includes a weekly web poll for students and their families to participate in. There are sections for each of the subjects he teaches including what he calls a "studycast" for science and social studies. Mr. Coley blogs and creates flash cards for different needs. This is an all-around fascinating, fun, and educational website that other teachers would be well-advised to imitate to incorporate technology into their classrooms to help their students learn in this tech-focused society.
