Being There –Panoramic Virtual Field Trips
By Alix Pehette Cross-posted from The Impetuous Geek Live, real-time field trips involve all the senses. We walk, stand and turn around to view our surroundings. We move closer to inspect an object or look to see a distant view. The experience is immersive and that’s what makes it memorable. The opportunities for field trips are often limited by funding, transportation issues and administrative paperwork. As a former 7th grade… Continue

Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers
Cross-posted from EdTech Gold Rush It’s been ages since I’ve posted a new blog entry and I feel pretty guilty about that. The machinations of the California school district budget woes have a way of holding everyone in thrall. It’s a crazy system that hands out mass lay-off and re-assignment notices in March and then blithely re-hires staff months later with the promise of going through the entire process again next year.

This latest grant has come down from the California Department of Education packaged as a research project to prov… Continue

Have you introduced your non-human companions to your students? Do they know how interesting a person you are? They should.
The links you suggested are goods ones. The most up-do-date NGO-in-a-box Website I’d found is the South Asia one. The
OLPC Foundation’s site I had bookmarked is a short trip through cyberspace from the one you suggested.
