Shareology.org– A free resource made available by the Nicholas Foundation. There are a number of things going on there but the one I was really interested in is designed to enable large scale resource sharing, communication and cooperation among teachers. We were starting to cobble together a way to share, tag, rate, and review lesson […]
Simile Exhibit Project – VA History SOLs
So I finally managed to get Exhibit working. Which is pretty impressive considering I’ve been working on it during NECC and I’ve failed a few times before. The site is up here. The death locations aren’t correct right now but I welcome any feedback you’d care to give. I think it has some really interesting […]
Model Classroom with Jerome Burg – “Of Mice and Men” – n07s809
This was my favorite session so far. I’d liked the work Mr. Burg was doing with google lit trips so I decided to check this one out. Things I liked. The focus was on quick easy technology to directly impact student engagement and learning- no fancy programs, no high level of skill needed He did […]

Is there a 2.0 version of leadership?
Gordon Dahlby, West Des Moines Community SD with Larry Anderson Monday, 6/25/2007, 8:30am–9:30am; GWCC B208 Today’s leaders must invest in self and their staff and students. We’ll share habits and resources for leadership development highlighting opportunities that new technologies provide. I didn’t get a whole lot out of this one. There were some interesting points […]
Tagging Network Feed
Vicki from Cool Cat Teacher mentioned something I hadn’t thought about before regarding del.icio.us networks. Wouldn’t it be useful to be able to create a rss feed based on your network and keyword(s). I know I can get a direct feed from my network but I’d like to be able to sort things based on […]
Edubloggercon 2007 Classroom 2.0
We had an interesting session with Steve Hargadon moderating (very good at moderating by the way) on “Creating an action plan for developing good repositories of lesson plans and training for the use of technology and Web 2.0 applications in the classroom.” It’s covered well in the notes and I think there were some good […]
Virtual Learning Communitites
This session was led by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach (man I wish I went to W&M for grad school instead of VT) and did not involve Pee Wee Herman. Photo by Alan Light Of Dubious Import to Anyone Else There was a lot of conversation debating what community is and what makes a person a member of […]
Edubloggercon 2007 Google Earth Session
This branched out into Google Maps, Sketchup and even Swivel. I heard about some great projects being done by 4th and 5th graders using sketchup to create Incan (or Mayan?) ruins and then putting them in Google Earth. I’m really interested in seeing the examples but don’t have a link yet. The most interesting part […]
Expanding the Circle Session
A lot of great people and a lot of “famous” edubloggers (I sometimes wonder what impact that fame has on these conversations- real and virtual, good and bad.) It was really nice to meet a lot of people I’d only written to. Now down to business. Expanding the Circle – ebc07ec My take on some […]
Edubloggercon and NECC
I’m living on vitamin C and Sobe Energy Gold so if I’m a little twitchy you’ll know why. I just got back Tuesday from a great time in Florida with Colleen Glaude and Michelle Bourgeois. They’re both Apple Distinguished Educators (I’ll be seeing Colleen in CA this summer for Apple Camp). They were doing some […]
