Hello Maya, I agree, being an early adopter is tough. But you are on the right track. Ernie Easter would be a great contact since your students and his are studying the Holocaust. Just that connection alone may be enough for your tech folks to und...

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for the welcome. Right now I am getting ready to roll out 4 laptop carts. Two new ones from the high school and 2 old ones. Working in the iMac lab with Tux Paint today.

Yes... as I tell my students I am the older smarter much better looking brother. We are now in same district.

Camp is very interesting to teach especially with kids from around the world (funny since they only know 2 English words which makes it difficult to teach them and the words are usually swear ones)

We Believe in You and We Will Help!

I had the opportunity last week to attend Tufts Dental School Parent Orientation. Interesting, our son is 24 and going to Dental School and we were invited to an orientation. I was interested to see what kinds of technology a Dental School would be using.

Meet a 21st Century Learner, a prosumer, a student!

For the past couple of months I have worked with 100 eighth graders as they navigate their way through a private Ning, a social network, we created for their language arts classes. We followed the protocol of creating gmail accounts for the students based on a special gmail account. The end result is that the students do NOT use that email to receive any communication. The communication from teachers and students takes place on the Ning. (This in effect is due to the CIPA regulations for student… Continue

Well, the big happening in the virtual online network of Personal Learning Networks just finished up the last official event on November 1, 2008. I had not planned ahead to take part in the When N… Continue

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...
