Durnin,+Heather

For the past two years, her students collaborated with Clarence Fisher’s gr. 7/8 class in Snow Lake, Manitoba on various projects. Using online learning spaces including Google Docs, Skype, Linoit, WordPress blogs, and TodaysMeet, students shared their learning and create together. Recent developments include an internet radio station, 105theHive. The IdeaHive collaboration continues in the 2012/13 school year. || =Fisher, Clarence=

Her students use technology almost daily to share and create with other students they’ll likely never meet face to face across the school board and beyond. She believes that “the process is just as important as the product”. Her students would agree that “we learn better together.”
 * [[image:fisher.jpg]] || Clarence Fisher has been a classroom teacher for the past 18 years. He blogs professionally at evenfromhere.org, with his class at ideahive.org and has spoken at conferences worldwide.

Fisher has won several awards, including one of Canada's highest teaching awards - the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching for his integration of technology into daily classroom life. Fisher's innovative classroom practices have been featured online, in books, magazines and newspaper articles. He is an advocate of classroom 2.0, learning spaces that take complete advantage of the tools that are available to learners in their quest to learn rather than having school be something that is done to them. || Links for Participants to Use: [|Guide to Online Communities for Educators] [|Idea Hive site]
