Miguel Guhlin had a fabulous podcast with the founders of TeacherTube (which is one of my favorite websites ever!) . Very interesting, but the best part was when Jason Smith answered the age old question about inappropriate comments and material on the Internet.
Miguel asked about students making inappropriate comments in Moodle and viewing [...]

Excellent. I love it when teachers are so hungry for ideas that they are almost foaming at the mouth. Kim and I did a presentation this afternoon on PowerPoint and how you can use it for more than presentations. Great ideas spawned from the discussions amongst the teachers.
We did presentations on how [...]

Today was a good day. It wasn’t one of those everything went well since my feet hit the floor days, but it was a good one.
First off, I was helping a teacher teach her class how to use wikis. Their assignment was to research an Asian country and compose a wiki page of [...]

Recently, my boss asked the county ITF’s what we would want in our “dream school”. WOW! Not, that we would get everything that we wanted, but what did we have in mind and how much would it cost.
My friend Kim and I were foaming at the mouth. What a question! [...]

All of our problems seem so minute when we are faced with such a tragedy as the one we witnessed today. Please keep all the families in your prayers. Hopefully, the lives that were lost will not be in vain. May God place His loving hand on all involved.

Okay, I must be losing my comprehension for directions - maybe because I read them so infrequently… I have been working on adding the YackPack widget to my wikispace and am having zero luck.
Maybe, I’m wanting something that YackPack can’t offer. I’d like for people to leave messages on the wikspace. I’ve tried [...]

Major upset in my blogosphere life. But, on the grand scheme of things just a blip. Edublogs was working on something because of a security risk and had to remove all the text widgets. When the text widgets were pulled there went my visitor count.
I wasn’t too worried about the number of [...]

This video is part 2 to Karl Fisch’s mega popular “Did You Know” video. I like how the additional information makes you think a bit more about what you know. Great video to present to administrators. See what you think ….

I read this post on Learning in the Digital Age site I have in my RSS aggregator. I couldn’t help but blog about this idea. The sad sign is that this is actually the way technology is run in many schools.

Yes, you read that correctly. I have already found my one and only item I want to put on my Christmas list. Vicki Davis blogged about it (between loads of laundry) today and I immediately told hubby that is what I want. It’s called a FlipStart.
According to Vicki:

Is it me or does anyone else have a problem with the millions of dollars the presidential candidates are raising? The last count I heard was over $100 million. One Hundred Million Dollars! I don’t care what your political affiliation is, this should be disturbing to you.
