Hi Suzie
I think there is a lot of value of peer input from the start, but it is clear that it must be modeled and used as scaffolding before we can expect real meaningful inquiry among a group of students (or maybe that is me, as a sixth grade teac…
I'd love that kind of list, too.

I haven't created this ning platform, but i really think it is a good network maker. That's worth trying making one network through Ning.
I have been using Ning for my ESL/EFL students both in the US and abroad for 3 semesters now. I would like to know more about what others are doing. These are the reasons why I choose Ning: the creator has control over language settings, post dates,…
Thanks
I am in the planning stages for a free tech conference in our area, so your handouts came at a good time in helping me do some brainstorming. We're doing more web-based apps, but I appreciate your sharing here.

Hi Jessica
A book I co-edited and wrote a chapter for is not exactly what you are looking for, but it might be helpful. We have teachers talking about how technology is influencing their classroom instruction, particularly in the age of standardized…
I'm also interested of hearing how someone used this technology successfully, as I would like to give it a try, too.
I've used grou.ps (did NOT like) and Ning. So far I really enjoy Ning, but anonymous gifts and ads have been my problems. I think any time kids use MySpace type auto-generated comments, they attract the Match.com ads. I would disable comments, but t…

This is part of a larger experiment with other teachers to create a Collaborative ABC Movie using Web 2.0 tools and features. For one of my letters -- Z --- I wrote a poem and used images from a site called MapMyWord, and then put them together as this movie. (more info about the project can be found at http://techstories.edublogs.org/)

Twitter This! -- my Twitter song
I wrote this as my students were writing their own songs. I also wanted to experiment to see how far the song might travel along various networks, so feel free to pass the link along through your networks.

- Hi Kevin
This is a repeat of the comment I left on your Blog.
I am involved in a European Union funded education project looking at how to use digital comics in schools http://www.educomics.org
I am looking for websites and forums that focus on the use of digital comics in education, any suggestions would be very welcome.
I have a good list of websites that have comic tools, this is mainly about using the comics within the school.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Joel

Mark Cruthers said… - Hi Kevin,
With your interest in Technology and Writing, 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 conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

I have used Edublogs. Why do you wish you started in Edublogs?
Speaking of ECSU, you may be interested in our Nutmeg project. We have collaborated with a class at the university. As part of their course work, they had to use Web2.0 tools to create book hooks and response to literature activities for our wikis. Here is an example of a book hook (scroll down to see the voki) http://nutmeg2009.sblc.wikispaces.net/MVP created by one of the students. It was a reading course, not technology. The professor is trying to integrate technology into her courses.

- Hi Kevin
I love your Youth Radio blog. I am interested in setting up a Word press blog. Can you tell me what you are using and how you got started? Also, are you happy with Word press. How do you manage the podcasts? Are you paying for a space to store them?
thanks
Rebecca

I play an electronic MIDI keyboard for fun, and I like to compose music. I'm still going through everyone's blogs and trying to keep the details straight! Music technology is one of my hobbies.
