Vicki Davis, a gifted teacher, moving students and teachers into the future.

Vicki Davis is a teacher, in a southern city of Georgia, that is an IT instructor. She has worked with students and teachers alike to create a website, DigiTeen and edutopia.org, that has won an award for its featured blog site. This site connects children across the globe to work together on projects, where collaborative learning is nurtured. Not only do the students learn, but the teachers learn as well.

Vicki Davis's belief is that with limited tools there is only limited achievement. Therefore, she has work diligently to create a site that teaches cooperative learning. Students and teachers work together to learn and master skills that will be necessary in the future. According to other sites, from previous post, technology is moving faster than we are, so in this writer's opinion, this is an excellent first step in a process that unites children of the world to a common goal.

Vicki Davis should be commended on her efforts, and I hope that teachers of tomorrow and today, for that matter, take lessons, and incorporate some of her ideas and designs to help students conquer the technological future, or at least give them the basic building blocks to help them with a stronger base for unknown future endeavors.
