The iSchool initiative
Thanks to Wes Fryer for posting this interesting project. It's a student initiated movement to get iPod touches into schools, called the iSchool Initiative Check out the video. Travis makes a pretty compelling case! He even gives other students the tools to meet with their principal. There are some interesting ideas and I think as more tools are developed, the iPod touch might be a viable device for school. Good Luck Travis and friends!

Thanks for the help. I didn't get accepted for the DC session. Maybe next time!

Thanks Janice! I have a different backstory than most teachers and felt that needed to be explained. Let's see what happens!
I think that this looks great also. I like the personal story. It seems like I know you and understand why you want to go.

Camilla, I agree with Cheryl - go see Serena Offcourse on Blackbear Island. She's great and knows all the ins and outs. She's got great style sense too! --Sarah (Syra Saeed in SL, edueyeview on twitter)
Give it a go!I am still falling down. Look for Serena Offcourse at Black Bear Island, she is my fashion consultant and very helpful.

I'm @edubeacon on Twitter. Your recent Seedlings podcast has me thinking of giving Second Life another go. On there I'm Millie Brink - on the brink and very much the amateur!
Thanks Alice! I appreciate the feedback. I will try adjusting the volume! Thanks again!

WOW! I love how you used your kids in the movie. The only thing I can suggest about the sound (I think you can do this in iMovie '08) is in the sound bar at the bottom, you can adjust the volume with a little line. If you drag the line up, it will...
