[kml_flashembed movie=”http://youtube.com/v/YVYLhDTv3eM” width=”425″ height=”350″ wmode=”transparent” /] I saw this on Neatorama. It’s worth checking out for the mix of web 2.0 story telling twists. You’ve got chat, emoticons, a Middle Earth twist on Google Maps some texting. It’s a multimedia extension of the chat room colonization of the US concept. You’ve got lots of room […]

The premise is that a variety of recent technologies allow the creation of mashups and other interesting web based options without the need for programming […]

Ever trying to follow in the footsteps of Tom, I realized quickly that it helps to add drama and humor into your communication with staff and students.

TeacherTube Now Fixed

I’m really interested in seeing the examples but don’t have a link yet. The most interesting part […]
