Maybe we will meet there sometime! The DC one was too soon and not a good time for me... So we will both keep trying!

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.

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...
Janice, thanks for sharing, I am sure this was a good learning experience and you will make it! So glad you put t his out for a discussion.

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?

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?

And what do you think of the "gift" addition? Maybe we need to move to Moodle... or Weebly? or ????
Wow... changes. Is this happening on other nings? Where we once had some relatively connected google ads on the side of our ning, we now have match[dot]com ads where Seedlings can explore online dating? I hope this is a short lived anomaly.

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.
