Wendy, Thanks so much for posting the lesson. I'm definitely going to pass it along and get some ELA teachers interested. -- Sarah

Janice, from my webhead friends, whenever we are working on Web 2.0 tools, we need to poll the whole global community and get the pulse on what is blocked and what is open, enjoy your trip. Keeping track of these blocks will be a great blog post! ...

Hi Sarah, Below is a summary of what I did with the music/language arts lesson I highlighted in my Google Teacher Academy video. Hard Times and Music I always look for any excuse for a song and I knew that Hard Times would be a particularly...

Just a short comment from Turkey: I tried to watch the video and apparently youtube is blocked in the whole country! Maybe I am wrong. I will try again.

Sarah, Thanks so much for all of the specific comments. I had to send the application in before leaving for my Mediterranean Odyssey, so I am sorry that I cannot go back and make some of those changes. I used the auto correction of volume in iMov...

Wendy, Great video! I agree with Cheryl about shaving off those extra seconds - and the word bubbles is the place to do it. Rather than do the motion transitions, how about flashing them on the screen? People read text really quickly, especially i...

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?
