I hope I'll have the energy to attend, Alice. I am presenting a poster session at our CT Educator's Computer Conference on Monday in Hartford -It promises to be quite a day, so I'm not sure how my energy level will be, but I'll try. I fooled around…

I Steve. I left a written comment on your Voice Thread since I don't have my microphone/headset handy.
I hope you can resurrect this voice thread. Are you teaching this fall?

Hi, Alice,
What a wonderful resource TED is! Imagine, we can all view and engage in these presentations that prior to this were limited to the few elite who could afford to attend.
One of my favorites is Benjamin Zandar, the conductor, talking about…
Hey, Cheryl. I'll have to get my husband to build one.
Actually, the fairy houses are at the Maine Botanical Garden in Boothbay. I was fortunate enough to be visiting Maine last summer during the fairy house building festival at the gardens. I took…

Thanks, Bob, "I think", for getting me to connect more via Twitter and the Seedlings ning; It's pretty new and exciting, but I've got to start disciplining myself. I'm spending way too much time following all the links - valuable a…
Hi, Sue,
I took a look at your wiki; you might want to add:
www.bighugelabs.com
to your art list. It's a really fun spot -connected to Flickr - where kids can upload photos and manipulate the tools to do all kinds of cool projects.
I run a compute…
What a sweet spot Carolyn. I could feel the stress dissipate. Where are the fairy houses or did I miss them?
The pond in my backyard in CT that my son built for me. It's where I go after a long school day to relax and let the stess ripple away.
I have listened to this address about 3 times. I have it on my Creative player. I downloaded the audio file from Bob Sprankle's site -Little did I know I'd find it here with video. It is a great address and just as valid and relevant in spring 2009…
Great show. I'm looking forward to the archived chat so I can follow the links. Since we've rolled out Google Apps for School at our middle school, perhaps I can even add to the discussion.
I'm looking forward to participating in the show tomorrow evening. Hope it works out. I'm on school vacation, so I hope I can connects. I met with Bob Sprankle this morning at his school in Wells, and it was a thrill for me to meet such a celebrity.

Ernie Easter said… - Hi Carolyn. Welcome to Seedlings and the conversation. New Sweden where I live and teach is a nice community in northern Maine that has maintained its roots. It was settled in 1870 by 51 Swedes. In addition to Midsommar (thanks by the way for your comments on my movie) we celebrate St. Lucia on Dec 13th. It is a beautiful celebration with my 8th grade class taking the parts of Lucia, her attendants, and the Star Boys. We do it both at school and then in the evening for the community.

- Hi Carolyn,
With your work in Technology Integration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

Almost the end of July - summer is flying by
I have been on this computer since early this morning, and I am finding it hard to tear myself away from the learning.
I got really excited by the blog from Cheryl Oakes which showed up in my iGoogle from Tech&Learning and spent a bunch of time following her and Alice Barr's coverage of the tech expo at Sebaticook Valley Middle School. What wonderful projects and such inspiration for other teachers and schools.
Somehow, I ended up back on this NING and then got caught up following a link fro… Continue

Happy 4th of July everyone
It's been a while since I logged into this Seedlings Ning. It was busy at the end of the school year. We got out on June 24, and it's been a technology whirl ever since. What with buying a brand new iPhoneG3s,learning how to use it, tuning in virtually to NECC, and participating in the chats on various EdTechTalk shows as well as speaking on TeachersTeachingTeachers on July 1, I haven't had time to pursue my goal to set up a ning for my school. So, here I am, back on the Seedlins NING, hoping to… Continue

All the Wonderful Sharing and Learning
I have been reading blogs and on-line educational newsletters such as Tech&Learning and eSchoolNews for years. Occasionally, I have left a comment. It is only recently that I've become an active participant in these on-line collaborative groups. I have finally figured out Twitter, and I'm following some pretty fabulous people. I have also been participating in different open webcasting events at EdTechTalk starting, of course, with Seedlings and branching out to EdTechBrainstorm and WOW. Wha… Continue

I've just become a new member of Seedlings. Where will this lead?
I am a middle school educator from Bethany, CT. I am a life-long learner who learns from other teachers in the blogosphere as well as from my students.
I had the distinct honor of meeting Bob Sprankle, the founder of this ning, this morning at his school in Wells, Maine.
I am always looking for ways to increase our integration of technology into the curriculum at our school, and I've learned so much from reading blogs from other educators such a Bob Sprankle and Cheryl Oakes. Just recently, I'v… Continue

Hi, Alice. Like you, I find the gifts feature much too silly and Facebook-like. You can easily remove it by clicking the "remove the gifts feature" link from the Gifts icon on your Manage page. Cheers.
Would love to shed a little light on this, Bob, Alice, Sheri and Wes.
Back at the beginning of November, these new ads began popping up on nings I had created for various committees where I work. A few people including me protested that the ads wer…

I haven't run in to the match ads, so maybe they were short lived. I do wish they would get rid of the gift thing, I looked through the management options, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Anyone else know how?

Clare,
Why on earth would the teachers be asked to stop blogging? Are they asked to stop having conversations? Are they asked to stop writing about things that matter to kids? How are teachers supposed to disregard one of the major communication for…
We had strong interest - and a great start - among our third grade teachers to have their students begin blogging (mainly around literacy) - blogging in the hands of these talented teachers couldn't be more valuable, in my opinion. Then our administ…
