Great post! My opinion is don't ban them. Set parameters for using them appropriately. Students can use them for all kinds of school activities. If they can convince the CRTC to unblock the jammer then they can convince that principal that they ar...
Hi Ryan, I think it is a very interesting question, to which I gave much thought about. But before I elaborate, I would like to share a true story:
Almost in every school, cell phones, IPods, etc. are banned, citing that they distract, and that th...
Ask forgiveness not permission...my students have used cellphones and I-Pods to record literature circle discussions, take pictures for assignments, use calculator functions, put reminders in calendars, save text from articles on the computer (I d...
Ryan,
Great discussion starter!
I know there's much policy out there that says, "er... NO."
How about this, everybody?
We stop calling them iPods and iPod Touches (or... god forbid, cell phones!). We now refer to them as small, cheap, pocket-s...
Looking into school policies and views regarding use of iPods in the Middle School now that they have the capability to do so much more than play music. Thoughts anyone...?

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!
Janice
Thanks for the help. I didn't get accepted for the DC session. Maybe next time!

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...
