My Christmas Card to You: Web 2 Wonderland

Cool Cat Teacher Blog where remarkable teachers learning about teaching

OK, here’s my really goofy, Christmas Card to all of you, my readers, out there. You can follow the link to youtube and post a video response. I’ll be watching them and may even put some of your Christmas greetings here for other educators to hear.

I have photos that have been contributed from my classroom (Camilla, GA), from Oregon, Germany, Maine, and Bangladesh. It is exciting to see the faces of these kids. (And make sure you listen to the end to the hilarious ending concocted by one of my tenth graders!)

Enjoy and forgive me for my imperfect singing, I had 5 minutes at break on the last day of school to record it so I had only one take! My student said it was OK so, here it is!

Have a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Take time with the family! I wish I could talk to each one of your personally and wish you happy holidays — but hey, I am!

Happy Holidays!

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

This was so much fun to see, I can’t wait to show my students.The song and your voice really added to the movie your students made. 5 stars!

I have to admit that my dial-up at home is so slow that while the data was transferring I wrapped 6 presents and got the dishwasher going. ;)
Living in the boonies is wonderful for the peace and beauty, but the technology stinks. When we first moved here we were on a party line. My mother-in-law was on the same line.

Some day Santa will bring me fast Internet connection without breaking the bank.
Enjoy the Christmas break and think of all the great things we will be doing in the new year. I actually have a couple of things up my sleeve-new learning for my students and me.

Bravo for your Christmas greeting. We should collect all the web 2 Christmas Carols into an online “songbook.” I have one (lyrics only) to contribute, too . Anybody want to host it on a wiki or should we let it be a nest of links from wiki to blog and so on?

I love the web 2.0 “carol.” I think we should collect them from all those who have them on blogs and wikis. Perhaps someone can start a wiki for a web 2.0 holiday songbook? Here is my contribution.

My family loves the holidays, beginning with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Mardi Gras so we always have lots of parties. This year I decided to find real unique holiday cards that I could write my own holiday party invitation wordings. I found three great sites, Cards Shoppe, Holiday-Invitations and Invitations-Shoppe.

I added all three sites to my favorites and ordered from Holiday-Invitations and was very pleased. I got lots of compliments, and was so happy. It made the holidays extra special!
