Join another Ning community: The Global Education Collaborative
Please consider joining a Ning community on global education: http://globaleducation.ning.com/
At the National Educational Computing Conference to be held in Atlanta, Georgia this June, fellow Apple Distinguished Educator Julene Reed and I will be hosting a workshop on global collaboration. I plan on utilizing a variety of tools and resources throughout this hands-on class, including Ning, a service that allows one to establish a custom social networking site. I am hoping to seed this site with people and content in preparation for this workshop, and I would like to invite any ISEDer to jump in and participate.
I've made a few prior attempts at creating an online meeting space for those interested in global collaboration which included the establishment of a .Mac group and a blog. While I still plan on posting to these resources, I think this environment might be more inviting because it allows for the posting of photos, videos, and RSS feeds. Users can make their own custom personal pages, contribute to discussion forums, network with other like-minded individuals, and comment on these features. I've been inspired by the success of Steve Hargadon's Classroom 2.0 and School 2.0 Ning communities, particularly by the forum conversations in the Classroom 2.0 one.
I also hope that this will also serve as a hub for anyone who will be presenting at conferences on various global education topics. Please consider uploading any relevant files including presentation slides. You can upload slides to sites such as SlideShare and Scribd, which I think, will give you the html code to embed videos in a Ning community. If you need help with any of this, just let me know.. it's pretty easy. Of course, you can probably also save slideshows as Quicktime files and upload them directly, too.
Please let me know if you have any questions...

New listserv for charter school teachers
Cross-posted in several places.... http://groups.google.com/group/charterschoolconnections I could have started another ning... but I thought I'd start with a good old-fashioned listserv! I'm starting an unofficial and informal listserv for people interested in or working in charter schools across the country. The inspiration for this is the wonderful ISED listserv (http://www.milton.edu/ISED-L/), which has provided a grea… Continue

World Languages and Cultures
Cross posted from the Global Education Collaborative ning: I'm meeting with a group of middle school world language teachers on Monday to discuss technology integration ideas. Languages taught in this school district include: Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, German, Italian, French and Spanish. This school district is also developing courses involving world cultures and global perspectives and are particularly interested in resources related to world… Continue

Busy updating my stuff....
A couple of updates: 1) I've changed the name of my blog from A Teacher's Life to High Techpectations. There's another Teacher's Life out there now, and frankly, the title was just booooooring. Not sure if I like my new one yet, but time will tell. You can find the blog at http://elemenous.typepad.com. 2) Last fall, I started a ning for teachers within my organization. This ning thing was new to everyone, and by keeping it private, we just didn't have the numbers to drive activity. I've opened… Continue

Spam Scam Alert!!
This is what I sent out to many people in my address book tonight and I thought others my benefit from my *cough* experience.
If you are receiving this email, it is because you came in contact with me via email sometime in the last decade. There is a nefarious social networking site that has spammed people's address books, including mine unfortunately. Please do not accept any invitations to join anything appearing to be from me.
Pleas… Continue

Nice to meet (albeit briefly) at NECC. Given your global interests, thought you might be interested in this bit of news about this perennial favorite project for connecting kids:

and i saw Mr Bean holidaying... at cinema - where he travels through France!
sorry for confusion
I wanted to touch-base with you. My name is Mike Bryant and I'm with the Discovery Educator Network. I just left a message in the discussion board for classroom2.0 conference dates here in Chicago. We are planning a two day, regional conference now for the Chicago area. I wanted to see if there's a possibility for us to work together, having the conference dates lead into on another and/or at least a cross-promotion. Contact me when you have some time, I'd love to be able to connect our two networks. Thank you, Mike

Welcome to the Peer Coaching Group. I hope you find it useful.
I would love to hear more about your coaching role.

I lead a volunteer-based non-school tutor/mentor program in Chicago and a Tutor/Mentor Connection intended to help tutor/mentor programs be available in all of the high poverty neighborhoods. Such programs can be great partners with teachers and schools as they expand the network of adults helping students build career aspirations and the learning skills and habits needed to achieve those aspirations.
I encourage you to browse the http://www.tutormentorconnection.org web site which is a library of links to tutor/mentor programs, and to ideas that people might use to make programs more effective, and/or more available.
I hope we can connect since we're in the same city, and since the University of Chicago is the major institution on the South Side of Chicago, where there are huge pockets of poverty, but few highly performing schools, and few high quality tutor/mentor programs.
I stopped by and was reading some of the stuff you've got here. It looks really interesting.
I've been thinking about trying to do some more stuff with collaborative lesson plan development. Do you think this might be a place to do that?
I really enjoy your friday 5 newsletter, as well.
Thanks for your efforts!
I just wanted to thank you for getting me to join Ning (even though you didn't know you got me join Ning). I was responding to your invite for Chicago University group...I'm not sure if I ever really joined that one but ended up in School 2.0 with you as my first friend. I knew about School 2.0 before but never felt the need to join.
Now I love this site and I'm setting up Ning networks for teachers in my school district. It just occurred to me that wouldn't have happened without your original invite. Thanks again!
