In recent years (if I must pinpoint a date it would be the summer of 2005) I became aware of the growing trends of podcasts in education. I explored podcast creation briefly, even making a couple of podcasts for my former school, using kids for all the talking, to post episodes that could be subscribed [...]

Thanks to my friend Diane Cordell who shared it via Twitter this morning, I had a small chuckle. It reminds me of that new video circulating among bloggers called A Vision of Students Today. If you have not had a [...]

I caught this in my RSS reader today. Recently with my kids we discussed how RSS feeds were initially used only by the news wires–enabling newspapers and other news media to jump on and use stories for papers, magazines, and television productions. I am going to use this during the week with some of my [...]

Problem Background: I am new in my district this year, even though I’m a 22 year veteran. This week I had a couple of sixth grade science teachers ask about using the library computers (20 in all) for a webquest they were completing, because there were some unavailable times in the computer lab to them. [...]

Thanks for your help in allowing me to stay connected despite the blocking software at school. I now can follow my gmail and twitter from school. There is a method to the madness and so far I haven’t made anyone question me. Of course I only have time to twitter at lunch and the email [...]

I tried another “broadcast yourself” social network after the twitterverse were all inviting the network to come and check it out. It does allow the “director” to pass off to other speakers or even others with webcams, so it has more potential. But they stream one “show” on their home page it seems all the [...]

As I read through the twitter from last night around 11PM through until 2PM today, I am shocked and dismayed that another tool has been discovered and shared, that of WIZIQ. Several of my twitter friends have already played around and experienced it, and yes I did say “played.” One of my virtual friends has [...]

Wow, I’m posting something again in one day. Shame on me. But son #1 is in Chicago for college–his sophomore classes start next week. And high school junior son #2 is out with his teenaged friends for a little while. And hubby is fast asleep on the couch. So I was cruising through my Bloglines–I [...]

I’ve been reading a lot of Christian Long’s blog (Think:Lab). I feel like I know him as a personal friend even though I can honestly say I’ve only met him in passing (NECC 07) and had virtual conversations with him on my blog here and in skypechats among many other participants. He asks some really [...]
