Deb, I knew when I typed my comment I wasn't answering your question. You are right, it would be neat to have all the apps you need in the suite.

OK, problem with kids have own account sanctioned by you? You can't monitor them easily---you could get each kids' address and password and then login to each account and see what's going on if you have 4-5 hours a day!! They could easily change the…

Our class blog was done with Drupal. The learning curve is steep but the results are worth it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

About 20 years ago we did a project called Travelmates. We sent about 30 stuffed bears around the world. It was such fun--the world (pre-internet) was a much bigger place then....the kids were amazed at what was going on around the world.

Jeff, the blog is done with Drupal and I think the learning curve is higher than what most newbies want. I had the parent of a former student do it for me, I bought the domain name and he serves it privately. I am able to easily administer it-adding…

The only podcasts we've done was part of our Titanic in the Classroom Unit. Each student chose a passenger or crew member and wrote a biographical sketch--then podcast. You can hear them here.

We do have a great blog. We've been writing at A Really Different Place for 4 years. The students are in or have been in my gifted ed center --now grades 4-8. We've had 94,000 unique visits in the four years, that's a heck of a lot of reading, writi…

Welcome


Three years ago I saw this picture in Newsweek magazine. I was so enthralled by the picture I emailed the Dutch photographer, Reinout van den Bergh, and ask him for permission to use the photo in a workshop I was presenting. His Dutch agent, Arjen Duijts, gave his permission then and has given his permission again to use the image in our blog.

From student blog:
Look at this boy in Cameroon, Africa and think about what you see. Think about how this boy must live. Once you have considered the life this boy must lead, look at the item in his hand that he has made out of mud. What do you think it is? What does this picture say about our society. Write your blog entry after thinking for a few minutes.

A Very Old Place

I have a blog that is very pretty and nobody ever comes to visit. A Very Old Place focuses on using primary sources in the classroom. If you like old stuff--documents, photos, emphermera or you like to use images in your teaching you might like to take a peek.

I love using primary sources in the classroom. When I was designing my students' blog site header I found tons of pictures of "old" classrooms. When I was a kid (in the mid-50s) there were 35 students in my elementary classes. I've had people tell me than in their parochial elementary classes there would be 50 students! When I first started teaching in 1971, I had 36 fifth graders in my class and didn't think a thing about it. Hard to believe in

Howdy Nancy, I'm building a learning management system and I want to post a survey about the usability about blackboard so I can figure out what teachers like and dislike in a learning management system for when I build my own. I just don't know where I'm allowed to post it on Classroom 2.0. Would you assist me?

Hi Nancy! I am new to Classroom 2.0. I uploaded a few photos to my page, but I just realized that they are visible to anyone. I went to privacy and changed the settings to Just Colleagues, but they are still visible to anyone on the web. Do you have any idea how to block the photos to only 2.0 users? Thanks!

Hi Nancy, Thanks for the quick reply and the colleague invite. I saw that right away. Where do I control who can send me messages? I can not find where I am restricting it to friends only.

Hi Nancy I rec'd an email on 11/5 saying that Abigail Martin has added me as a colleague and an email on 11/8 saying that Goodness added a comment to my page. However, I do not see any comments, and I can't tell where I look to see if I've been added as a colleague. I'm new at this and looking for some help navigating my way around. Thanks Carolyn

Hello Nancy,

Thank you
