I know... so simple really, and yet so powerful. A fellow named Jeremiah Hackett responded to this post on Edutopia and included this: "...as sound tools, I think the 2 best tools are the oldest: a Ning (which gives a blog to each student…
Hi Jim,
Currently there are blogging sites that are making the difference for the teachers I work with. Classblogmeister is working out great with my elementary teachers. The list serve for Classblogmeister is very supportive and once a teacher has…

I agree - "Isolation is the great killer of innovation," and so the support that comes from those others who are involved in the effort is so important!
The VoiceThread example is a great one.

HI Jim:
Thank you for sharing your Edutopia Spiral Notebook article about Go2Web2.0.net. I certainly agree with you about this being an overwhelming collection of tools. Who knew there could be so many Web 2.0 applications out there! It's safe to s…

I so love local history projects... I am just today back from Texas - Fort Worth. Turns out that there is a lot of limestone in the Fort Worth area, and that means fossils. Talk about local history. I brought back a 13 inch diameter ammonit…
Good morning! I just posted a piece on the Edutopia Spiral Notebook blog that focused on Go2Web20.net and all of the amazing Web 2.0 tools now available.
I ended it with a reference to an earlier post I had written about this resource, and these wo…

Profile Information
- Tell us about yourself!
- First and foremost Jim is an educator. His ten years of classroom teaching were focused on highly engaging and highly effective project based, community oriented learning. As those projects evolved, the power of purposeful use of technology within them grew, and so one of Jim's keynote topics, and a recurring theme in his work with schools is, "Beyond Could, Past Should, to Must - The critical role of digital technology in K-12 Education."
Coupling his commitment to making best use of technology with a foundational belief that we all learn best by doing, Jim supports schools in assuring that technology is integrated into all their teaching and learning efforts in ways that support the development of healthy, capable, and caring citizens and leaders for our future - students who are capable of taking on complex issues by making use of 21st century skills and tools, built upon a solid foundation of traditional skills and tools.
There are two networks involved when technology comes to school - the technical one is the one that tends to get all the attention and yes, it is important. But in fact it is the human network that will make all the difference in the benefits realized from any technology investment. It is all about what the people do with the tools... Nourish the human network with professional development at all levels, and encourage growth of this network through technology-rich project-based learning, and the value realized from your technology placement can be huge.

Hi, Alice. Like you, I find the gifts feature much too silly and Facebook-like. You can easily remove it by clicking the "remove the gifts feature" link from the Gifts icon on your Manage page. Cheers.
Would love to shed a little light on this, Bob, Alice, Sheri and Wes.
Back at the beginning of November, these new ads began popping up on nings I had created for various committees where I work. A few people including me protested that the ads wer…

I haven't run in to the match ads, so maybe they were short lived. I do wish they would get rid of the gift thing, I looked through the management options, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Anyone else know how?
@Sheri: The problem with W…
Clare,
Why on earth would the teachers be asked to stop blogging? Are they asked to stop having conversations? Are they asked to stop writing about things that matter to kids? How are teachers supposed to disregard one of the major communication for…
We had strong interest - and a great start - among our third grade teachers to have their students begin blogging (mainly around literacy) - blogging in the hands of these talented teachers couldn't be more valuable, in my opinion. Then our administ…
