Millenial/Zombie Horde Mash Up
>>>>Edit- I added a page and fixed the spelling of millennials (doh!- thanks Greg) I’m working on an Internet safety overview for teachers in our county.

Whirligig on MyMaps
I’m working on do something similar to the awesome work over at Google Lit Trips using Google’s myMaps. The novel is Whirligig by Paul Fleischman- very powerful book that’s a quick read. It’s a great novel for this type of project (fiction but almost all real locations). The main character travels to the four corners […]
Muppets and the Computer…
This has touched my “inner-geek” and forced me to find out how much the first season of The Muppet Show would set me back. Within the range of possibility… YouTube BT (warning: 5 min/9.7MB) via BoingBoing […]

Bad Fortune, Good Writing Prompt
Bad Cookie, a fun site that gives fortune cookie fortunes. It makes a great opening line for a story or set the fortune as the character’s destiny and build the story around making the fortune accurate. It both makes writing the story more difficult and easier. More difficult in that the story now has constraints […]
Personal Google Maps
Google now lets you create online annotated maps with amazingly simple tools. You can add info windows (with html), plot lines and add polygons. It really is the easiest thing imagineable. Go there and try it. This example map has absolutely no point. I just made it on the fly to prove to myself how […]
