And other musings about the curse -- and benefits -- of the Web...

So I've been thinking a lot about how the Internet represents two opposite poles in terms of nurturing creativity. On the one hand, there's the side that absolutely stifles it. Take the recent (and not so recent) debates on healthcare reform, among other policy debates regarding pressing matters. One side comes up with an idea, not even a fully-fleshed out idea. We don't even know any of the details before the other side immediately declares it a failure and we all hear about how it will never w… Continue

Way behind on my blogging -- to make up for that, I have a great find to share: wix.com

I suggested my students should use Googlepresentations because I am so tired of the whole access run-around when they create Powerpoint presentations -- never where you want them. I've also suggested Glogster -- which I love, but I don't love that when they go there, they also see whatever anyone else has done there and it's not always so appropriate... along the lines of YouTube: we have access to show clips from there now but we're supposed to navigate there and pull up the clip first, before… Continue

Webpage RSS

I read this in my RSS feed from Free Technology for Teachers blog and it reminded me to blog it here :)

"Earlier this week Google announced an enhancement to Google Reader that allows you to subscribe to updates to any website regardless of whether or not that site offers an RSS feed.
Here is the link to the article: http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2010/01/create-rss-feed-for-any-website.htmlContinue

Lovin' My New Wiki!

Well, I had talked about it long enough and finally decided to just dive in and create my first Wiki. I looked at a few different Wiki makers and decided on Wikispaces. I liked it because it seemed easiest to use and I could get a free educators account so that there were no dumb ads on the site.
I love it! I made a site that is called Spring Lake Park High School Library, but it is just the book video project right now. I am having a hard time figuring out a couple things, mostly having to… Continue

OMG, I LOVE the Ricky Gervais podcasts! Did you know he's making those podcasts into an animated cartoon on HBO right now? So hilarious! I confess, I don't listen to podcasts unless they're funny. I tune out talk radio just like I tune out educatio…

I saved Wix in my Delicious account awhile ago, but never dug into it. I'll have to play around with it now that you (and your enthusiastic student) liked it so much!

I posted a blog about this back in January, so I'm glad I beat Free Tech for Teachers! ;-) And, I'm glad to see it's working well for you. Very nice, Tori!

Woo-hoo! Maybe at our next in-person meeting you can show your wiki (or the one you made for Kevin) to everyone?

I have an even worse scenario, how about reading Walden at all? Sorry English teachers, I hated it! I was an English major in undergrad, and love most classics, but Walden was like trying to swim through a huge vat of marshmallow creme for me. (I do…

I know how you feel about keeping up with our blogging. Maybe I should call mine "blagging" (lagging in my blogging).

Amy, you shared some great thoughts and I love the analogy of our teaching to having a beta site. It's always a process, isn't it? And I, too, am glad that I don't have the eyes of the world critiquing every angle of my work as I go.

If I were to suggest just one, I'd offer up the Bill Moyer's Journal. It's lengthy, but what's nice about iTunes is that you can pick and choose which episodes you want to download. Free is nice too, btw.

Hey Eduardo, I absolutely get it. I LOVE all this stuff, but I am beginning to worry about all my new distractions. I tried twitter a couple times before MILI and thought it pointless. Now that I have learned how to use it, I love it and want to che…

So I gave some of my colleagues a Moodle primer during SD two weeks ago. It made me realize how much I have learned and how much I have yet to learn, not even master. I honestly do not have enough time to get the diigo-delicious thing going on my ow…

That's awesome, I love it!! It's such a fun way to show those things. As for your link problem, I'm not sure I understand it, and it's hard for me to try to help fix it from far away, but is this something blocked by the school? Did you make the gl…

I think what you describe is how it works for everyone, young or old, when they learn a new tool. I even see it with you guys in MILI, though of course you don't have to turn it in like students do. I love that you now expect this three-day cycle an…

I just completed my first attempt at creating a glog! I was excited to try it out and figure out how to use the different tools on the site, so I just used some things I had on hand like a video I created last year on Tech Crew and a link I watched…

I am finally at the last project for the Digital Media Class. Yesterday I had a guest teacher (one of the Avid tutors) teach iMovie and then gave the students exploration time. They had a ball and what I've finally come to realize is that there is a…

Tori's talking about a password manager, and there are tons of them, like RoboForm, LastPass, and Passpack. I don't like the idea of giving one tool my usernames and passwords for everything, but if you are just overwhelmed with the amount you have…

Yes, years ago I bought RoboForm Pro. It has been fantastic, I use it on a USB drive and it fills in forms and remembers passwords. I LOVE it. You can use it for free, but you only get like 20 passwords or so.
