My brief post doesn't do his book justice. Carr fully acknowledges that the internet and digital technologies have enhanced our lives in ways almost unimaginable a generation ago. He's no Luddite, by a long shot. He simply explains in…

Skype Partners for Secondary World Languages

We recently introduced Skype to our high school World Language teachers and they are very enthusiastic. We are looking for partners for Spanish, Italian, French languages. If you would like to partner, please reply and I will put you in touch with the right class. If you know of a resource that matches World Language classrooms, that would be equally helpful.Thanks!See More

On the same theme is Weebly for Education. I believe there is less restrictions with Weebly than there are with Wix in terms of pages and storage space, but I could be wrong. You can find it here, and you may even like the article I wrote on…

Good luck with your Moodle Jeff. I agree re limitations of current Moodle wiki though. Moodle 2.0 and its improved wiki will only be in beta in Feb (at the earliest) and summer for stable release, so I guess that's a way off yet.

Who can resist being part of an effort that includes so many edubloggers of distinction? I am not sure how active I will be but I will be checking in regularly to see what the chatter is on the site as I am sure it will be subversive and thought provoking. My kinda talk...



In the meantime, I am working at trying to get more teachers in my district excited about the 2.0 movement. Let's see that would be Web 2.0, School 2.0, Teacher 2.0, Library 2.0, now Classroom 2.0.

Hi Tom,

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, 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. 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 want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, 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 many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Marco Morales

Tom,

Thanks for your post regarding my "peace" question. Something I"m trying to engage teachers in these days since I come into contact with many fine educators the world over...

I see you are friends with Lorraine! Her Circle Song project has been an inspiration.

Greetings from Korea,

David

So happy to hear it, Tom! We've had a great reception and after I taught a summer course based on the book I had the proof of concept I needed. I also learned chapter 4 and 9 will get a working over for 2nd edition! Any chance you are going to Educon in Philly late January?
