Found this from John Pederson. A great video that can be used with staff and teachers on what this new web it. Worth a bookmark!
School of thought or School of fact?
Yesterday I spent the day in 9th grade Asian History classes recording conversations that we are sharing with a 12th grade Asian History class in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve set up a Google Site (more to play with then anything) as a way to share files back and forth. You can see listen to and see the questions from both classes […]
Blogs in Student-Led Conferences
Let me start this post with a disclaimer. There are a million ways to use blogs in education. The following is just one way we are using blogs at SAS. As my time winds down here at SAS I find myself reflecting on the past three years and keep asking myself: Did I leave a mark? I think we all […]
WordPress 2.5, my plugins, and a new look
I spent this past week playing around with WordPress 2.5. A great release that loads faster, a new admin side that I love and some new themes to play with. So let me know what you think…I’m still testing it on all browsers and there an issue at the very bottom with the about part sliding down the page. But […]

Stages of PLN adoption
David Warlick wrote a post the other day about being able to zip up or turn off your Personal Learning Network (PLN). I too have been thinking about how one goes about starting a PLN, how do you monitor it, and how do you learn to shut it off. We all continue to push teachers to start PLNs if they […]
The Game
I lay there half awake thinking about The Game. Ball hit to your left, man on first….under hand to second. Ball hit deep in the hole, back hand, plant and throw….the guy’s quick so it needs to be on a line. Man on third ball hit down the line….stop the ball no matter what it takes, look him back and […]
Who's Controlling your profile?
Have you ever been giving a presentation or talking to someone and all of a sudden you say something that makes you stop and think. I do it quite often actually and most of the time these turn into blog posts as is this one. My last session at EARCOS I was all fired up with a standing room only […]
EARCOS Teachers Conference – All over but the flight
I have a lot of random thoughts about the EARCOS Teacher’s Conference this year….so if these seem like disconnected ideas/ramblings/thoughts….it’s because they are. The first morning we were here, I picked up the Newspaper that was slipped under our door and flipped through it real quick. The front page had the Prime Minister of Malaysia talking about the general election […]
