My name is Daniel McFarlane and I am graduate student at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York. I have designed this Wiki for the express purpose of discussing and evaluating educational policy and initiatives across the United States. It is also going to be utilized to collaborate and work with other students in the field of education.

I have over twenty years of experience in the workforce and intend to take that knowledge and integrate it into my new endeavor--teaching.

Feel free to comment and express your views on education. This site was implemented to exchange creative and valuable ideas to better teach our children.

In addition to investigating new ideas in teaching children, I also believe one of the best ways to teach children collaboration and working together is the use of Google Documents. To begin with, this concept is Constructivist in nature and provides children a great way to develop creative projects using this interactive tool. I see Google Documents being an integral component in my own classroom someday. In this day and age, children have different schedules with family, school and extracuricular activities, and Google Documents provide all interested parties time to work on projects at their own convenience. I believe as education progresses, Google Documents will become even more critical in the immersion of children in technology and education.

Thank You, Dan
