Cheryl Oakes We Believe in You and We Will Help!

I had the opportunity last week to attend Tufts Dental School Parent Orientation. Interesting, our son is 24 and going to Dental School and we were invited to an orientation. I was interested to see what kinds of technology a Dental School would be using. I often refer to dentists and dental practice of years ago and compare that scenario with educators and schools of years ago and then ask people to think about the changes in those professions. Which profession do you think has changed the most… Continue

Carolyn Stanley Almost the end of July - summer is flying by

I have been on this computer since early this morning, and I am finding it hard to tear myself away from the learning. I got really excited by the blog from Cheryl Oakes which showed up in my iGoogle from Tech&Learning and spent a bunch of time following her and Alice Barr's coverage of the tech expo at Sebaticook Valley Middle School. What wonderful projects and such inspiration for other teachers and schools. Somehow, I ended up back on this NING and then got caught up following a link fro… Continue

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.

Sheri Edwards A Spindly Sparrow

In the Middle East there is a legend about a spindly little sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the road. A horseman comes by and dismounts, asking the sparrow what on earth he is doing lying there upside down like that. "I heard the heavens are going to fall today," said the sparrow. "Oh!" said the horseman. "And I suppose your puny little legs can hold up the heavens!" "One does what one can," said the sparrow. "One does what one can."

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.
