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. Janice

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. Janice

I always come when I get interesting email questions in my inbox. I also love listening to Seedlings as a podcast.

I am curious about this because I make a lot of handouts and I just use Print Screen and paste and then edit the picture with Word. Is there something I am missing? As for moving screen capture we have SMARTBoards and learned recently that the Rec...

Hi Everyone, Well, I heard back from Google and I did not make the cut, It is OK. Making the video and applying was a good experience and now I can use all of your good advice on the next application. How about you Wendy? Anyone else going? Janice

School really has changed... even though it has a long way to go. When I started working in the area of technology there were some teachers who were convinced that it was a phase that would pass and others that were planning to retire before they ...

Hi Janice,

With your interest in Technology, 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 on Technology Integration you might be interested in.

It varies. I tend to listen to techy stuff in the morning - Seedlings among them, and fiction, archeology, book talk, etc., in the afternoon.

I forgot to mention: I have a 40 min train and bus trip to school each way, and I use that time to listen to podcasts - liquid blogs! In the morning I seem to choose ICT related podcasts, ("Seedlings", anyone?) and on the way home I tend towards more general info - "The Naked Scientists", "Digital Planet" (from the BBC), "Penguin Books", etc.

Hi - I read your question about the iTunes logo, so of course went to the Bluejays' page to check out what you're doing - it looks interesting. I've subscribed to the podcasts for my own iPod, and added the link to a list of audio stories for young children we keep on the sidebar of a Class 2 blog. If you see comments "from Geneva" on the stories, that will be us!

About "how do you keep up?" - I "follow" the forum threads I'm interested in by email, and try desperately to read through the blogs at least once a day to keep the unread hoards under 100. I use Google reader, and just scroll through all the new items. When there's one I want to spend more time or thought on, or want to blog about, I email it to myself. I'm using Gmail, so there I've put filters (with their different colors) on the different sources of email - so I can pick out quickly what came from school, what's "personal" and what's come from a blog or ning. It does take a little time, but it also keeps my mind alive!

I have a question... I am now a member of at least three Nings, My Space, Facebook, Blogger.com, and I have a bunch of Wikispaces... How is it possible to keep up... I am sure I have joined lots of other things that I have totally forgotten... What do you do?

Thanks Janice! I have a different backstory than most teachers and felt that needed to be explained. Let's see what happens!

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)

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!

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...

Do you want to learn about using Google Earth in your Classroom? Thomas Cooper, a Google Certified Teacher is going to be teaching a monthly session. This is a great opportunity to see Google Earth.
