Ms.Cassidy actually gives hope to teaching technology in elementary school. How and what she teaches is what children at this age are familiar with. As adults in today's world we are having to learn to live around and with technology, children of today are born with it. They are being taught to use technology in a safe and educational setting. There are too many teachers and parents who are not aware of all the benefits that children have when they have access to such controlled and monitored learning networks. This would be an exceptional video for anyone to watch to learn how beneficial internet is to education. It amazes me that Ms.Cassidy is teaching first graders what I am learning in college.
The Skype video with Ms. Cassidy was amazing and inspiring. She is such a professional on so many levels. I am so glad to see what teachers such as Ms.Cassidy are teaching the children and safety with the internet. Safety and privacy is a very controversial issue when it comes to using technology in classrooms. She does a remarkable job teaching safety to her children.
I too think that there are too many "teachers and parents who are not aware of all the benefits that children have. . ." I also think that it is crazy how we are just learning in college what Mrs. Cassidy is teaching to her first graders - crazy!

Will Ms. Cassidy be a role model for you?
I can say that Ms. Cassidy is a role for me and will certainly continue to be both from a parent and future teacher perspective. How and what she is teaching her students is fantastic. I would love for my children to have a teacher like her with such dedication to her students. It is teachers like her that made me decide to achieve my teaching degree.
