This si such a great opportunity to take part in free professional development. It's worth a look at the past three years as well. I always learn something from watching these sessions. Enjoy!

Thank you! I've been trying very hard to keep up with my blog this year!

Thanks Cheryl, was great to you hear as well on Bob's Big 100th Bit by Bit podcast. I'm so impressed and amazed with you, Bob and Alice have done with Seedlings. It will take we a while to take it all in.

I loved Alice's line in the 2008 Keynote K12 video the three of you did - I just now saw it - on the UStream: "Let's give our names first, then the revolution can begin."

Cheryl, I am new to all of this and I heard about seedlings because I just finished a technology course with Dennis Richards and Tom Daccord which was fabulous!

Thanks, Cheryl. I'd like to continue the conversation about presentations when you get some time.

Thanks. I finished my Masters in Instructional Technology and they said we were Instructional Designers.

It is more than just technology. A whole lot more. Who would have thought there was so many theories involved in the design of instruction. :-}

I go to a different school each day of the week so the students have library once a week unless they miss because of a holiday.

No, I do not use Geogebra. I'll look it up. What do you like best about it?

A Compelling Reason for Change!

Universal Design for Graduation

This is our season in North America for graduations from high school and universities. On May 9, 2009 I attended the graduation ceremony at University of Maine where we were able to observe the transparency of how to use assistive technology for the masses.
We were in a huge auditorium, and as most graduations there were many graduates, guest speakers, pomp and circumstance. In the far end of the photo you can see a blue screen near the ceiling with yellow words, this screen streamed the text as… Continue

How I transistion to a New Season, From Winter to Spring, cross posted at TechLearning and Facebook

After spending the past 6 months skiing I wondered what I would do? Well, it didn't take me long to fill up my Saturday. I was invited to travel to MIT, for a day long conference on Learning in a Participatory Culture . You can join their Ning and see what this amazing group is doing. Once there you will find the network to support you as you use these strategies with your students. The whole conference was streamed inElluminate and hopefully will be archived soon for all to view or in my case v… Continue

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...
