Deb I've left the district, but my friends seem to be still pleased with it. They are loving the eclassroom part of it. Not sure they are using it to its fullest potential though.

TechnoTuesday
Revved Up, then sputtered AASL
This week has been almost inhumane for me. I’d been working and planning with what I considered to be a “dream-team” of guru librarians to bring a significant and impactful virtual presence to Charlotte’s ASSL which ends tomorrow. Weekly, sometimes biweekly meetings conducted on conference calls, often times in my car as I rode home [...]Revving up 4 AASL
“B” There! Vroom, Vroom!AASL is coming to an “unconference” near you!

Recently there has been a RASH of educators nay-saying the power of connected learning through 2.0 tools. (And actually suddenly it seems uncool to say 2.0 anything or even 21st Century anything else.) So I ran across this today over at Lee Kolbert’s blog (A GeekyMomma’s Blog) and thought wow, the slideshare inserted in the [...]Three and counting…What’s in store for year four?
It’s a silly celebration, but my blog is beginning it’s fourth year today. My first post was about the first K12 Online Conference in 2006, and I have for whatever reason stuck with it. I’ve tried out a few student blogs as well, but I fear making a blog “schooly” or just another hoop for [...]Profile Information

NECC anyone?
I'm heading to Atlanta this week (on Spring Break) to go to a Braves game and scope out the lay of the land for my upcoming June NECC. It's a mere 4 hour drive from here.

With your work as a Library Media Specialist, 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.

Evan Morikawa said… - Hello,
I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this virtual Ning network is no exception. My name is Evan Morikawa. I am a 20 year old student from Olin College of Engineering (near Boston). I am a part of a group of six Olin students who are taking a year off to pursue interests in education, entrepreneurship, design and technology, which brought us to the logical project of a business that designs collaborative software for schools! I found you in a search for "middle school" on Classroom2.0, and since our project is specific to middle schools and uses new learning technology, I thought you might be interested. Our company 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,
Evan Morikawa
