My+Initial+Idea

**My Initial Idea:**
My idea for my overarching NLGL project is to create a forum session for teaching fellows. My target audience encompasses rising Juniors or Seniors in the Teaching Fellows Program at North Carolina State University. The forum I want to create and present to this select group of preservice teachers is centered on incorporating Web 2.0 tools into the classroom. I want to show these future teachers how different tools can be implemented in the classroom to help acheive North Carolina Standard Course of Study Objectives.

One reason why I want to persue this idea as my NLGL project is becuase I was apart of the NCSU Teaching Fellows Program. I think that this forum would be a great way for me to give back to the program. Also, I think that some preservice teachers are not given the opportunity to see how web 2.0 technologies are used in the classroom. As an undergrad, I was able to experiement with many different types of technologies. This is something that I value from the undergraduate studies. I want to ensure that everyone who is planning a career in teaching is exposed to the different technologies available to teachers. I beleive that this forum could greatly benefit preservice teachers.
