Hi David,
I missed your class. However, I would be happy to join in a forum or conversation.Let me know if there is a spot for that!
Cheryl
This Wednesday I will be presenting some conferencing/distance-ed tools to a grad class at Southern NH University. If you have used a conferencing tool in the classroom, I would love to hear from you! If you will be available Wednesday evening (Ju...
Glad I found this thread. I also teach a pre and in-service course on media literacy and technology for grad students.
I also found the concept of "participatory culture" most useful in validation and providing some direction.
We discuss in my s...
Dave, I'm on the same wavelength as Bob with Henry Jenkins' participatory culture:
**Participatory Culture is one:
1. With relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement
2. With strong support for creating and sharing one's c...
Thanks everyone for the input. As I mentioned, this came about as a topic of conversation in a graduate class I am teaching on integrating technology into the classroom to both in-service and pre-service teachers. While I do know what it means to ...
Dave,
I think a lot about the new digital divide that exists, which is more than having the tools or not having the tools. It's also about those students who are getting the proper teacher support in navigating and understanding the digital world...
Dave, What a great question! There are many ways I see this question.
I see this as a teacher having the knowledge to provide access to the content, ie. using text to spoken word so all students can 'access' the information.
I see this as the teac...
Hmm, it could mean that teachers engage their students in using both print and online resources when they are learning and researching. That they offer students choices. That they actively teach how to access and best use digital resources. I woul...

- A few years ago I made the move to teaching from a 20+ year career as a software engineer. Every day I work with my students and other teachers experimenting with incorporating new technologies into the classroom from digital story telling and podcasting to creating digital portfolios. I've been following a number of podcasts for the past few years and found Seedlings in April or May. Glad to be part of the community.

I decided not to apply this time, but next time I am going to plan to get my video done early enough to be viewed, critiqued and edited. Last time people saw some things that now I realize I should have edited, but I just didn't have 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...
Hi! I'm applying to be a Google Certified Teacher. I had seen some posting on here last year where other Google Certified Teachers gave comments on applicants' videos. I would love some feedback! Here's the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com...
