Looking for Skype Partners

I am trying something new this semester with my graduate students in the course, Introduction to Education Technology. In the past, I have introduced them to Skype and even set up some educators to Skype into our classroom. But this semester, I would like to make this more of an active experience for each of my students by connecting each of them with an educator on Skype so that they can experience a virtual, synchronous conversation with this technology. They have no PLN established and have…See More

"Lauriene, Forgive my cynicism here, but if your administrator has to check every post published by every teacher, then you have a much bigger problem before you than that of blogging. Does your administrator check/edit everything that the teachers…"

Hi Stephen. I just joined web 2.0 for MAC and I saw your profile and would like to invite you as a friend. I am a 1st grade teacher and computer technology liason for my campus. I have taught 18 years and I am looking on how to get my 1st graders starred on web 2.0. We are a MAC district so I am very knowledgeable with the MAC and its programs. Hope to hear from you

Hi Stephen. I was wondering if you have any high school contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

I'm looking for 2 things... people who have succeeded creating rich experiences (versus fluff) where kids are blogging for an authentic audience, and perhaps getting feedback on their work AND I'm looking for any research that is emerging that supports or refutes the use of blogs as a powerful learning tool. (Example: We know that kids probably will be very engaged, but has anyone studied if having kids regularly blog for a real audience helps them to learn more?) Hope this all makes sense! Hope to connect with you sometime at Naz... I teach on Monday nights in GAC. cj

Steven Glad you added me to your colleagues... are you currently at Naz, or back in Quebec? Do you have any good resources or leads in the area of real young kids blogging (grades 2,3,4, etc).... C.J. Potter
