Hot of the press, well really hot off Garageband, is Episode 6 of the Ed Tech Classroom. Last week I was surprised to learn just how many listeners Burt and I have when I was asked about it at the end of my Google Earth session. Thanks for listening to us! It makes our hobby […]
One of the best parts of attending technology conferences is the conversations you get to have with other participants. At ILC08 I ran into colleagues from all over the state and gleaned quite a few good ideas. During one of the sessions I posted this week my old tech director, John Patten, attended a session […]
Well, I am home and my bags are unpacked. Before I hit the sheets and rest up for a Friday with the kiddies I thought I would take a moment to write about my final ILC08 session. To conclude my three days of San Jose-based professional development I attended Gary Stager’s Ten Things to Do […]
This session is quite special for me. For the first time I am actually able to attend Jerome Burg’s Google Lit Trips presentation. If you have ever been to any of my Google Earth sessions then you know that Jerome was my inspiration for figuring out how to create my own Google Earth KML/KMZ files. […]
Bam! At 5:30 this morning my eyes were open and I was ready to roll! After checking out of the hotel, grabbing some coffee, and Moodling the kids at school I was able to attend Antwon Lincoln’s early morning session on Technology Implementation. I’ve had the luxury of reading his book, Confessions of a Technology […]
The mere title of this session piqued my interest. I currently have Clay Shirkey’s Here Comes Everybody and James Surowiecki’s The Wisdom of Crowds on my Amazon to-be-read-soon list, so this session should be a good fit. Web 2.0 tools including YouTube, Second Life, blogging, podcasting, and social bookmarking are quickly changing the American global […]
I’m at my first session this morning, Wikify Education. The presenters, Jennifer Fano and Debbie Iosso, are administrators from Randolph, New Jersey so I am looking forward to a new perspective on using wikis in the classroom. Last year I used them a little as my students created an online textbook and glossary last year. […]
My lack of posts after Session 3 makes it look like I didn’t go to anything in the afternoon. No, I wasn’t sitting by the pool! I actually hit a few different things, but I seemed to pick all of the wrong sessions. Nothing really wet palette. However, there was one thing that had me […]
Session 3 had so many good sessions I had a tough time deciding where to go. Part of me wanted to go to the cell phones in the classroom session (especially for Val who I know really hopes I use cell phones with my students on a regular basis), but I ended up at “Learning […]
[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x66lV7GOcNU] I’m sitting in Session 2 at ILC where I am learning about using Del.icio.us in the classroom with my students from Lee Kolbert. To get an idea of what del.icio.us is, take a look at the Common Craft Video above, Social Bookmarking in Plain English. Its a great overview. I’ve been using Del.icio.us to […]
