Kevin's Meandering Mind

The Making of Frog and Toad, explained

I’ve often heard of this little documentary around the making of Frog and Toad claymation/stopmotion movie but I often turn to a DVD extra with Wallace and Gromit to show students a look behind the scenes of stopmotion moviemaking. But I found this movie on Vimeo by John Matthews from the 1980s and it is [...]

A Week of Claymation and Comics

Next week, I am co-teaching two summer camps for middle school students with very creative aims: help young people make movies and create comics. These offerings are a collaboration between the local Vocational High School and the Western Massachusetts Writing Project, which is seeking to expand our offerings to youths. The first camp in the morning [...]

The last Boolean Squared (for now)

I want to do a more comprehensive write-up of my adventures in writing and publishing Boolean Squared, my webcomic about kids, teaching and the classroom. But, this is my final BS comic for the school year and it seems fitting to share it out: Peace (in the summer), Kevin Authored by dogtrax. Hosted by Edublogs. addthis_url [...]

Day in a Sentence on Vacation

Hi! I’ve decided to let Day in a Sentence take a much-needed vacation (which, coincidentally, coincides with my own summer vacation). My plan is to relaunch Day in a Sentence again in August and I hope that many of you who follow the feature will join us again at that moment in time. As a final call [...]

Trying out Movie Animation App on iTouch

My son and I created this on my iTouch with an app called Flipbook. It’s very cool and pretty easy to use. You can then send the video from the mobile device to the Flipbook website, but I wanted to embed it so I moved it over to Flickr. Peace (in love), Kevin Authored by dogtrax. Hosted by [...]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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.

My Webcomic about the Digital Divide: Boolean Squared

Hi
A webcomic that I developed as a creative writing outlet is now being published as a weekly feature at the regional newspaper in my area. The comic -- called Boolean Squared -- is all about education, technology and the perceptions of kids and adults. Essentially, I see the comic as a way to poke fun at myself.

You can view the comic at the newspaper site and then I will be archiving them over at my… Continue

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.

Hi Kevin. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends 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!

Thanks Kevin
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

Kevin,

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.
