Integrating 21st Century Tools into your Teaching

Liz Davis is an amazing educator. I follow her on twitter and have learned much already. She has created a wiki that has tutorial documents explaining many Web 2.0 tools such as diigo, flickr and del.ici.ous. Here is the link to her wiki and to her Blog.

Wiimote Interactive Whiteboard for under $100

While twittering, I followed this link to Coolcatteacher Blog. http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-interactive-whiteboard-for-under.html She was sharing information from Johnny Chung Lee who has created an Interactive Whiteboard using a Wiimote and a Bluetooth Connection. Being adventurous, I gave it a try. My 16 year old son, and the owner of the Wiimote was a huge help. Bought the Blu… Continue

Voice Thread for Educators

I was playing with Voice Thread tonight. I set up an account a year ago, but hadn't used it. I went back to play and find some classroom applications. I was browsing and wondering how to make it safe for my students when I noticed the educators link. Voice Thread has an educators network that is monitored and safe for students. Go to www.ed.voicethread.com to set up an account. There is a one time $10 administrator fee to set up the account, but for a… Continue

e-books site

Another great idea from Twitter. http://www.tumblebooks.com/library/asp/home_tumblebooks.asp e-books for kids and some great titles. They also have books available in other languages, including Spanish. Check it out!

Hi Patti,
Get a bigger server. My biggest issue at St. Anthony's and St. Mark is that I keep filling the server. The multi-media projects just take up so much space. As soon as the kids get them finished I hoste3d them on teacher tube-but the upload time is horrible when I am uploading 20 plus projects.

My recommendations would be to get as much RAM as you can, a killer video card, and all the storage you can get your hands on. Software can be all opensource-so put the dollars int he hardware.

Patty- I'm sending my powerpoint from conference and on Monday will send grant- it's got to be on my PC at work as it's not on laptop. If you don't hear from me by 8:30 am Monday, email me at letterd@bscs.k12.mi.us. Thanks again!

It's such a good thing that you emailed again. I'll send it tonight. :) Thanks! (I need reminders)

Patti:

Your name was given to me as a possibility for your students to submit an article for the Student Corner of the MACUL Journal on how they are using technology in the classroom. I was told your students are involved with a wiki. Since the theme of the next issue is collaborative leaning this could be a very timely article.

Please contact me if you are interested: seitz.jim@gmail.com

Thanks,

Jim

Now that's a bit more puzzling, Patti. if the problems are all happening while you're on the same computer, you could try clearing out your cache. That's helped me deal with certain websites that use Ajax to dynamically display content and change the page.

Interesting problem you're having with adding a blog post, Patti. Mine was a bit slow this morning, but by going to My Profile page, and then clicking on My Blog at the top I was able to click on the link that said Add New Blog Post with the little plus symbol next to it.

Like I said, it was a bit slow going, but it loaded up. Just make sure that you click on Publish Post and not Save as Draft :)

Patti, I looked for your wiki to share it in our presentation this year, but couldn't find it. Could you give me the URL please? Sorry to have missed you this year, but glad you're still having fun with technology.

Luckily I have the day off, so I don't need to navigate the snow. I am happy to join MACUL space and keep learning this tech stuff.
