Hi Linda,

With your work in Integrated Technology for your Education Center, 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 Linda,
I'm doing some research regarding blogging platforms for teachers in our district. I read in a discussion forum from 2007 that your teachers use Class Blogmeister. Are they still liking it? Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks! Kimberly

Hi Linda. 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!

Hi Linda,

My name is Alyshia Olsen; 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. Since you are in the 'e-learning and online teaching' group, 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, 2009, 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 a competition for startup funding 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.

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

Thanks,

Alyshia Olsen

I created a wiki in response to all the people who offered to help me on the Interview. If you are still interested please visit the following link: http://schoolgateway.wikispaces.com/

Thank you.

Hey Linda! We've got to keep meeting like this! Great to see you in another Ning. I've got a group on Classroom 2.0 as well. The E-learning and Online Teaching group is just getting started. Its a mix of those interested in the topic, with many of my colleagues from UW-Stout, where I coordinate an online teacher training program.
