I got the email from Bud and thought I’d go through with the whole blogging thing…. 
I’m currently working on my first podcasting project with my 5th graders. They are researching famous scientists/inventors. I will be posting these to my new Fall River Technology blog (publicly opened last week and still in the baby stage). I will be presenting them in true podcast form ~ available for subscription in RSS format~ coming soon!
I am also currently using Twitter with a third grade class as a communication tool with parents.
Oh and by the way…I now use a Delicious account with all my students 1st ~ 5th. Check it out.
Also, I am working on having 3rd, 4th, 5th graders develop personal websites (unpublished due to personal information and safety issues). Students will use iWeb to do this. They are going to be including projects they complete throughout the year.
I will be sharing all of this new information at a parent meeting on Monday.
All of this would not have been possible with out Cyber Camp! You guys ROCK! I hope all is going well with each of you. I am excited to hear everything that is going on.
Hey Bud & Jerry, I will see you Monday, but feel free to stop by any time and see what we are doing! I’m looking forward to visiting with you about next steps.

Good news, bad news and good news…..I have made the moodle, sorry virutal campus, do some things I want it to, pageflakes is still down–but it’s not my fault, and ikeepbookmarks has an RSS feed….although I am not sure if I am using it right. So, is there a cybercamp 12 step program? We could have an intervention like the one they did on the Sopranos for Christopher. I am still amazed by the Wii, whiteboard, lightware, computer, bluetooth, combo!
Well, it’s about 9 am (on Friday) and I’m still in CyberCamp mode. I will miss the conversations, the great ideas flying around, the focused work time, and …did I mention the conversations? I am so looking forward to following the progress of all the projects.
Thanks to all for the laughs, the incredible ideas, and the sharing of tools and discoveries. What a wealth of learning and inspiration was always percolating in that room. Thanks to Bud and Jerry for all the time spent outside of class time, sharing their expertise, and the well-run camp activities. We learned a lot just from watching the use of all the tools in the background.
Have a great summer, campers.
I’ll admit it - I’m already suffering some CyberCamp withdrawal. But that’s okay - as I suspect there’s more on the way from the CyberCampers. Plenty more, based on what I saw happening in our classroom and here on the blog.
In a sense, today is the REAL first day of CyberCamp - the first day when posting or sharing isn’t in some way mandated by someone else. I hope folks will continue to sharing their work and learning here, in this space. I look forward to reading more from you, CyberCampers, from learning from you as you continue to learn.
I’m grateful for all of your hard work so far, and I know there’s plenty more to do. I’m eager to see your projects happen, and to participate as I can in them. To paraphrase Garrison Keillor’s catchphrase for his daily Writer’s Almanac podcast, I hope you’re well, doing good work, and that you keep in touch.
Once again I would like to thank the people that made CyberCamp so useful for me. That would be everyone involved. I started thinking about my entry in terms of how much I have yet to do; however, at this time I think it’s better to mention how much has been accomplished in really a very short period.
- I have a skeleton of a course in place on my virtual campus site.
- I have a good critique tool embeded in my site.
- I have a really solid foundation for a unit project that has the potential to yield quite varried, but interesting results.
- I have researched Moodle, online photo tools, wiki’s, blog’s, online productivity tools.
- I have offered help with various app’s to other CyberCamper’s
- I have helped to establish another Professional Learning Community within our district.
It is easy to see the never ending journey in a new project that is not even crawling yet, but it is also easy to discount the progress made at such an early stage.
Thank you again,
Jerry
I didn’t cry when I left camp like my brother did many years ago (but that’s a different story). Rather, I was excited by the new friends I had made and the adventures we embarked upon together and separately. Our time together went by very quickly. As expressed earlier, I hope that we can continue to communicate about our future adventures, those we embark upon together and those we pursue separately. It’s been a great ride so far.
I finally remembered the statement I had been racking my brain for earlier today:
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” (unknown)
Go out and create! I will see many of you soon at TIE. Now for some family time—Yahoo!

All the way to the end! As I’m sitting in the lab, finishing my last “official” cyber camp post, Kay and Scott have figured out the Wii/Smartboard solution. Amazing! It’s a never ending cycle of learning.
Thank you Bud and Jerry! You have created an amazing opportunity. This has been a journey of discovery and has been a successful one. All of us have learned something that we will take with us into our teaching. With OUR learning, we will effect our students learning. How exciting to think about what we can do with our students now.
I am now focused on getting ready for a week of learning at TIE. I look forward to seeing some of you there.
Best wishes on projects and…
THANK YOU!
What did I like best about Cybercamp? Well, let’s just say, “I liked it”! It’s been a whirlwind of a two weeks and I can honestly say that I gained knowledge, tools, and a keen sense of camaraderie with the group. We are a candidly astounding group of people, who have vision and some of you are just downright very funny. Thank you for your time and thank you for sharing.
Don’t have much more to say today, but hope to share with all of you in the Cybercamp Cybersphere, and possibly at TIE.
Haiku on,
Joanne
I learned how make a presentation on google docs and put it in the blog, imbed a video on the blog, create shelfari bookshelf, add photos and an avatar. Here it is.
Long way to go but I guess I passed.
This has been a great class. Looked forward to coming every morning which says alot for all of us teachers finishing up a busy year. Has been great meeting all of you. Looking forward to staying connected.
