Hello, Can you use Flash? Because I see several possibilities to create that nicely using either Powerpoint/OpenOffice Impress or an online presentation tool like prezi.com + capturing it with a screencasting tool and ... the output will be a…

Virtual Tour

I have been asked to create a virtual tour of our middle school for our website. I will need to do this with pictures not video. Does anyone have any reccomendations as to the best software to use for this. I guess I could just do this with hyperlinks to pictures, but I would like to find a way to do it that gives me a better result.Thoughts? Suggestions?See More

Jacqui, I just downloaded the rubric and will see if I can apply it to the website I am building. I wonder if you would be willing to grade the site I am creating. It will be free and online to all teachers as it progresses

For that reason I use Facebook and their filters. As I run a comprehensive special education program at the high school level I have parents and students with special education profiles as well as students enrolled in my classes to learn how to…

I too plan on using Twitter in the classroom to keep parents more up to date on what is going on (actually planning on having kids update it) I think you have several options to stop people with inappropriate pictures or tweets from following you.…

Twitter

I am thinking about using twitter as a communication tool with parents. One thing that does concern me is the fact that anyone could theoretically follow us and some may have profiles or pictures that are inappropriate for a school audiance. Although I doubt many people have the time or inclination to click on the twitter follower list, is there anyway to prevent people from seeing who is following a school account?Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.See More

Hi Rob,

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.

Hello,

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this virtual Ning network is no exception. My name is Andy Pethan. I am a 21 year old student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin students (near Boston) who is taking a year off to pursue our interests in education, entrepreneurship, design and technology, bringing us to the logical project of a business that designs collaborative software for schools! I found you in a search for "middle school", 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:

We are working under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media and tools: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum, and internet-based software. 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. More importantly, and unlike many of our competitors, our software will empower teachers to better integrate higher level thinking skills, individualized learning, goal setting, reflection, and effective feedback and evaluation. 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 and individual teachers will want to use to improve their students' learning in and out of the classroom.

Our team 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. Note that winning this contest will raise $10,000, a large and useful sum of money for a web-based company running on “sweat equity” and minimal costs.

Feel free to email me back, post on my profile, check out alightlearning.com, or do anything you like!

Thanks,
Andy Pethan
