Hi, Jon.
I'm using Open Atrium (a Drupal distribution inspired by BaseCamp) to help schools develop professional learning communities.
It becomes part of the schools Intranet, and is particularly handy if the school is using Drupal for Web…

We had the same issue in Seattle Schools. I read some available information and believe the concerns are valid (i.e. supernoding). I did some research and found Sight Speed (mac and pc). Our network group and I experimented and found it to be easy…

First of all, I had heard of issues with Skype from an IT perspective, but didn't really understand it. Second, we use Skype at our school.
This link provides some info about *possible* security issues with Skype…

As far as our admin/front office using skype, the best part is that we now have very little classroom interuptions via school wide announcements or all calls during class time. (i.e. front office making all calls for a student over loud speaker) It…

Thanks for all your feedback guys. Yes, this is very frustrating for me, especially as we did several international projects last year using Skype, some of which drew letters of congratuations from an embassy and even Russia's Foreign Minister,…

I'd like to learn more about how you're using skype in your school? How's it working out for the teachers and the administration? Is it making the communication better, and if yes, how is it better? How are teachers integrating skype…

I teach in Ontario. I was recently experimenting with Skype. One of my colleagues and I set it up on our laptops and it was not blocked by the district. Right now I am trying to figure out how to use it best in my teaching. I like Ryan Graham's…

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to students and your HS colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack

I am thinking along the same lines as you with the virtual sharing and conferences. Would you be interested in having our classes go virtual together? I teach middle school English and we could select any topic.

- Hi Jonathan!
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 Georgia!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

With your interest in 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. By the way I teach AP US History and European History here in California.
