Tim replied to Brian Hoelscher's discussion 'Flipping Homework and Lecture Using Video Lessons'
I actually had a question about this. As educators, is it okay to post tutorials on YouTube that include textbook images? Might publishers request our content to be taken down or is this sort of usage generally allowed? I've avoided posting…
Tim replied to Susan Wells's discussion 'iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation'
I thought the iPhone OS was capable of holding more apps than can fit on the max number of screens. I think you just need to use the Spotlight Search to launch them?
Tim replied to Chris Fritz's discussion 'Wikispaces vs. PBworks (previously PBwiki)'
I believe you are thinking of Wetpaint. As far as I know, wikis on PBworks are still ad-free for new subscribers.
Tim replied to Jill Reinhardt's discussion 'Twitter as a back channel'
Oops! The name of the book is actually Brain Rules. (Brain Matters is a different book which also deals with how brain research can be applied in classrooms.)
Tim replied to Jill Reinhardt's discussion 'Twitter as a back channel'
John Medina discusses this in Brain Matters. This book is a great resource for teachers. The author makes a point to explain how brain research applies to various aspects of schools and education. You can learn more here:…
Tim replied to Donelle's discussion 'What's the Best Platform to Showcase Student Work?'
I would strongly encourage you to NOT lock down your wiki. The point of the tool is to encourage collaboration. As Ann mentioned in her post, you can subscribe to all changes (through email or RSS) if you are concerned about what students might do…

Sorry I wasn't speaking of Elgg but programs more specifically targeted for portfolios. Elgg appears to have promise. How sophisticated are the pages and blogs aspects of Elgg? I've used Moodle for several years but was never impressed by…
Tim replied to Donelle's discussion 'What's the Best Platform to Showcase Student Work?'
I agree with you to a certain extent. If portfolios are a major focus of your course then you should choose the best possible tool you can find. However, if the portfolio is one project among many in a course then I would rather opt for a wiki or…
Tim replied to Donelle's discussion 'What's the Best Platform to Showcase Student Work?'
I think the easiest and fastest way to accomplish this would be using a wiki such as PBworks.com or Wikispaces.com (they both offer free wikis for educators with no ads and the ability to create student accounts). Each student can create their own…
Tim replied to Kelley Irish's discussion 'Please Visit my 7th Graders Wiki Page'
Hrmmm... where is the link?
Tim replied to Linda Jones's discussion 'Using Twitter in Education'
I only recently joined twitter myself. I see some of the educational benefits of twitter, but is there a general consensus on whether it is a "safe" place to promote for student/classroom usage?
What about a site like edmodo.com instead…
Tim replied to JoNelle's discussion 'Wikispaces - So Far, So Good...So Far'
When I was first investigating wikis, this messaging feature of wikispaces made me very uncomfortable. Not only because of students messaging each other, but also because of the possibility of students interacting with those outside of the…
Tim replied to Glenn Hubbard's discussion 'Wikispaces doesn't have an undo button!'
PBwiki has an undo button as part of their WYSIWYG editing tools.
