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Also, I am working on having 3rd, 4th, 5th graders develop personal websites (unpublished due to personal information and safety issues).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.

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.

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.

A friend sent me this link yesterday that I would really like to share with all of you.  It is from school board member, John Creighton’s blog that I really enjoy but don’t faithfully watch. 

Quote. 
“Here’s another reality.  We will invest more money in some students than we do in others and yet their academic performance will never match that of many of their classmates.” 

Thanks, this is a good read.  Once again feel free to post your comments.

Last night I had an amazing discovery. After doing my reading, I found a site by David Fagg about podcasting. It is a wonderful site to visit if you are starting podcasting. David has broken down the process into simple steps. I wish I had found this earlier.

WOW!  Thanks to Bud and Kent for trying out www.chatterous.com with me.  We just worked out some bugs (like how to text in and not have your number show up).  I’m very excited about the possibilities for using this in class!  I think with a little discussion about expectations and responsible use, kids will find this to be a great tool. 

WOW!  I’m also excited about continuing my work on all aspects of my project.   I hope to have a chance to talk to Mrya more about layering a website and Dennis about blocking the ability to copy (a student’s photo) on the website.  I’m also going to put together some “How To” documents (for example, How to make a Google account) because I know it would have been helpful to my students last month when we were trying out blogging. 

 WOW!  I couldn’t resist The character at the top of this post is my WOW (World Of Warcraft) character.  (She’s a level 70 Blood Elf Destruction Warlock, pictured here with her minion ) 

I want to build on my moodle sites, I want to figure out a website that my newspaper students can interact with, and I want to download the new Coldplay CD.  But I am pretty proud of myself for importing my bookmarks from the Citrix explorer to my computer explorer without asking for help.

But am I getting a good grade?

gah…
