For the final stage in the MEL Webquest I choose to review The Cool Cat Teacher's blog. This teacher takes real life events from the world around her to transition the events into learning experiences. Scott Rigsby is an example she uses as an inspirational story to motivate others to be inspirational teachers. She also is a teacher who likes to use a wide network of other teachers to support continued learning. In her blog she posts an excerpt from a letter written by another educator asking for specific information regarding a rather obscure topic. I also think that she is a resourceful and creative teacher. She has the optimistic view that a great teacher can teach with the resources available to them.
I think that her view on technology in the class room is that even if we do not have to most up to date electronics and technological devices that we can still use what we have or can get our hands on as a medium to convey our message. I think that her very large and popular blog geared toward the educational proffession speaks for her technology standpoint in and of itself. I agree with her on most parts. Although I think that her statment "Anyone can have a great technology program with an unlimited budget" is a more than a little idealistic and off.

Good reflections. 5/6 due to errors in mechanics of writing: This is an awkward (and incorrect) use of the verb "transition": "This teacher takes real life events from the world around her to transition the events into learning experiences."; "proffession" should be "profession"; "is a more than a little idealistic and off" should be "is more than a little idealistic"; it's not clear what you mean by "off" in the last sentence.
