CyberCamp 08

Our 4th day of camp and it was another amazing day.  I learned so much and was pushed to the edge of my ideas again. I will admit that I was not very happy when I left camp today (I think Michelle and Kent can attest to this! ) But after having time to [...]

Great to get all the feedbackon my blog in process.  It was really helpful and LOVED all of your responses.  A few other library blogs you should check out are Silver Creek HS, Altona MS, and Skyline HS.  They were really helpful for me as I built my blog.

Productive day but I have dozens of questions, tekkie ones and others…
Got a wiki started, and tried to insert a calendar with no luck.  I want to use it for a unit on building bridges, a competition we did this year.  Informal, cheap materials, easy to set up, and has been a success. I can [...]

Well, I finished another tutorial, but I feel like everything I am learning this week is just going in one ear and out the other.  I am trying to retain all this info, but my brain is struggling.  I used to think I was fairly smart, but today I was irritated and confused and exhausted.  [...]

This is the first WiP presentation from CyberCamp.  In her presentation, Sue talks about her work as a teacher librarian and how she’s using technology, specifically blogs and Moodle, to promote reading and talking and learning.  Here’s the link to the archive of the chat from the session.

Forgot to blog out yesterday because I was too busy working on my own blog off and on through the evening.  My other goal I had set for myself was to create an avatar and explore google docs.  Accomplished the latter.  Finally understand the need to do this as I work from 3 different computers [...]

Even though I’ve been up for almost 3 hours, gone running, met with the tile guy, and had a few sips of coffee – I’m not fully awake, nor do I ever know what to blog about in the a.m.  I’m more of a night time blogging person. 
I’m looking forward to listening to Amy and [...]

 From the NYTimes.com
Are Blogs Bad for Us?
Blogging heads on connective writing, the dangers and prevelance of information cocooning and blogs v. newspapers.
These guys must have been in the advanced version of cybercamp.   But it makes me rethink what I want to accomplish this week.   An online media literacy unit for students now seems appropriate.  [...]

On my way out of the building today at lunch, I stopped by the DMS (web access on the intranet) to pick up a book for Visual Quickstart Guide: Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, by Tom Negrino and Dori Smith. It’s nice to remember that we have this resource (DMS) close at hand, and they have [...]
