With your work 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.
I'm sheepish that I haven't checked back to see these comments until now. I'm new to SN and find that I have difficulty keeping up - I commented on Plurk that I binge and never purge: applies to reading my RSS feeder (which grows daily beyond my ability to keep up), and it applies to all the other social networks I've joined. Thanks for your comments and hope to have an actual discussion soon. Will visit your profiles.
Sharon: It's so great to have you be part of Seedlings! What a fun picture and I love how you used the sepia tones to pint out you and your family members! Great idea! Maybe there is a trend going here as I was never a girlie-girl either, being the oldest of five and the only girl.... I look forward to the continued conversation!
Welcome to Seedlings and the conversations. As a tech integrator take a look at the Maine Holocaust Education Network ning that I put up with my students this past spring. My students took charge of welcoming people (other teachers mostly) to the ning and had some great conversations. We will be keeping it going and I hope as the year goes on other teachers with their classes will join creating a place for students to share with each other, other Holocaust educators and survivors.
Sharon, pleased you have joined us, and don't ever feel like you are bragging, you are telling your story. You need to so we have something to identify you with. I identify to not being a girly-girl! I am amazed at how you are a tech integrator at such a big school system! This year I am 2 days a week at ONE middle school. We can share! Talk soon.

I'm the cute one in front. I hung out with my brother (on the right) and his friends a lot, which is why I'm not a girly-girl. My sister, in back, is the domesticated one. She cooks and I eat.

Professional stuff: I'm an instructional technology integrator for middle school language arts in public schools in Chesterfield County, Virginia (a large suburban area southwest of Richmond). I circulate among 14 middle schools that include a wide range of economic and cultural profiles, training teachers and modeling lessons that integrate the use of technology and best practices. There are 55 integrators like me in my county, each of us focusing specifically on one content area and a general grade level (either elementary, middle, or secondary). I'm proud to add -- and I'm probably bragging but it was hard work -- that I'm a National Board Certified teacher, as well.
Personal stuff: I'm old (53) but progressive & still radical. I'm a mother of a college sophomore at Va.Tech (i.e., I'm broke but proud), married to a retired firefighter/Navy man whom I adore, I'm addicted to films, especially classics, I love to read and write, and I'm an internet lurker. Find me at Plurk, Delicious, Diigo, and Facebook (username: sharon_elin).
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.

Kristin Tarnas Gotta love google docs for getting parents to sign up for things!
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)
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!
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.
