Back on the Internet Safety Bandwagon
I’m back working on Internet safety stuff. Here are some ideas I’m playing with on searching and source validity. If you see anything I’m missing etc. let me hear it. This is kind of a PR poster for classroom/hallway display. I’m aiming to get students creating them as part of art class or a contest […]
The Director’s Bureau Special Projects Idea Generator
So The Director’s Bureau Special Projects Idea Generator generates fairly random three word idea strings like the one above – Do-it-yourself levitating animal.

Wiki Testimony
As part of our parent training we’re having teachers and ITRTs speak about powerful ways they’ve been able to use technology in support of 21st century skills.

Google Earth – Proof of Concept Stuff

The example file is at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pGAYO0Q5WpT8_Rsss6Uw2LQ&output=txt&gid=2&range=a1. It’s a network link. In Google Earth- click Add– Network Link and paste the URL into the Link box. Here’s some information on how to […]
Standardized Tagging – And The Best Idea I’ve Had in a While (right?)
OK. We had an interesting conversation at NECC about creating a standardized system of tagging so we can all actually find the things other people have made or found already. BUT the issue is in coming up with an effective way of tagging that everyone can use across all the school districts, states etc. Teaching […]
