Then I Defy You, Stars!
It’s been a long week and sometimes it’s good to follow even bad ideas through to the finish.

Web 2.0 Hits the Streets–Graffiti Report Card
Does this sound familiar? You’re driving downtown and see a piece of graffiti that doesn’t quite “tickle your fancy” (as the kids say). You pine to yourself, “Man, I wish I could leave some feedback for that artist. If this were on The Web, I could simply leave a comment.” Well, pine no more. I give you the Graffiti Report Card. Seriously, it excites me to find an example of such a fundamental characteristic of our internet bleed out into real life. It might be fun to create a stylized sticky note template (similar to this one) that would allow students to give feedback on all sorts of things (behavior, performance, product, compassion).

Seal Generator
Click and create official looking seals (no bad puns please) of various sorts. It’s easy, quick and fun. You can also order them on magnets which could make for some fun games and ways to decorate your classroom (or house). You can have a lot of fun with this in History and English for sure. I made up one for edubloggercon 2007 just for kicks. I’d like to see emblems for Greek gods, different literary characters, accurate presidential buttons, commemorative badges for battles etc.
Three Teachers on Integration
Untitled from Tom Woodward on Vimeo. Despite the massive amount I still need to learn as a videographer and editor, these three teachers say some interesting things. It’s worth thinking about how some of their responses parallel despite open questions and not hearing each others responses. The video is about 7 minutes long and has the comments of three teachers from Byrd Middle School in Henrico County.
