CyberCamp 08

Enjoyed today’s presentations very much!  Jerry’s ideas were cool and inspiring for the use of Virtual CAmpus and Voicethread.  I think Voicethread could be a natural for his digital photography class and other art classes as well.  Students will be able to comment on their work and on classmates works as well.

I forgot to blog last night.  But in my defense, my computer was being operated on yesterday.
I don’t think I have ever been on the computer this much in my whole life.  I am working on plans for what happens after day one of school.  What next?  I had a little bit of a panic [...]

Most importantly…have gotten enough done to NOT freak out as much as usual in August…am so excited to implement some [...]
