A common thread I've seen is that when a school or district is able to bring technology into their learning environments they forget to also plan in training time and provide a solid support system. A teachers says, "Wow,! That looks cool but I do...
Cheryl,
When Eric and I put together this video, we geared it toward an elementary level audience. However, I have used it with middle school students as part of an introduction to iMovie projects using their MLTI laptops (see more resources for ...
This is a great promo for things to come. What grade level will you use this with? What kind of cameras will you use? I love MSAD 71 TV!

Designed to get elementary level students interested in an after school program, this short video looks at the basic steps to making your own movie. Start off with a plan (or storyboard), then have a script with actors and props picked out. Rememb...

- Tell us about yourself!
- I am the Technology Integration Specialist for grades 6-8 in Regional School Unit #21, Arundel/Kennebunk/Kennbunkport. I service as the district contact person for information regarding Interactive White Board technology and am currently working on a 3-year plan to place interactive SMART Boards into every classroom in the district, grades K-12. I see teachers as storytellers, and boy are there a lot of stories for us to tell. I believe technology can enrich this process and help teachers to reach a student population that is infinitely diverse and always changing.

-Inform students about how to be safe on the Internet.
-Improve Internet research skills.

- Hi Nick,
With your work 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 recording you might find of interest.

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 f...
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 admini...

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.
