- Ch-ch-ch-changes...A few months ago I left K-12 after 33 years to become the educational specialist at the Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine residency in Augusta. Here I work with caring, highly skilled family doctors to train the next group of people committed to rural family medicine. FMI see "The Heirs of Family Practice, " by John McPhee. I came here from Kittery, where I enjoyed coordinating curriculum in a small district with committed, caring professionals. Before this I was the Head Gardener for SEED, Maine's statewide network of teachers teaching teachers -- the original ground from which this ning grew! Before that I was with the Maine Department of Education, and before that - a classroom teacher in Northern California. But that was then, and this is now.

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...
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.

With your interest in Education 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 recording you might find of interest.

Thanks for the CBAM link....very familiar with cbam from my days in graduate classes :-)
Good stuff. The laptops are actually the later part of this whole program. We're going to have our fifth day of full day training in a couple weeks here, and that's when we are introducing the student laptops. Up to this point it's been all pd for teachers on how to use their own new tools for improving instruction and developing PLNs....however many are already beginning to use the tools with their students in schools that have labs in anticipation of student laptops. I think we have built a pretty good foundation at this point with the teachers to begin the conversations on student laptops :-)
Thanks!
It's OK -- I knew folks might be busy.
Yes, my plan is to record and then post the conversation and see how it all transpires.
