This Wednesday I will be presenting some conferencing/distance-ed tools to a grad class at Southern NH University. If you have used a conferencing tool in the classroom, I would love to hear from you! If you will be avail…
Dave,
I think it means that the teacher can and does incorporate technology in the classroom and is able to provide meaningful experiences for each student to expeirence the "digital world". I'm retired now, but last course I taught f2f, I had one…
Would an assignment (even one that isn't required to do online) that could be done online provide an unfair advantage to those without access at home?
NO: The reality is that kids have varying advantages and disadvantages at home. Some kids have pa…
The topic for a course I'm teaching this week is one of the NH 610 requirements on certified teachers which simply states that in elementary education, teachers will have knowledge of how to provide equal access to the digital world. I'm curious wha…
PBS Teachers and Classroom 2.0 are delighted to have professional development experts and educational consultants from the Emmy award-winning math mystery series CYBERCHASE as our guests for "Using 21st Century Resources to Enhance Math Teaching & L…
A few years ago I made the move to teaching from a 20+ year career as a software engineer. Every day I work with my students and other teachers experimenting with incorporating new technologies into the classroom from digital story telling and podcasting to creating digital portfolios. I've been following a number of podcasts for the past few years and found Seedlings in April or May. Glad to be part of the community.
With your interest in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from NH!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
