Hi, Anne,
Thanks for the reply. Do you use Skype for the video conferencing? Of all the applications you mentioned, the only one not blocked would be VoiceThread. We have used that for projects. Anything that gives free rein to anyone on the net is always blocked.
Thanks for the response, Anne. I've been using the Fisher Price digital cameras with my first graders for two years with good results. We've used them to record the weather, do photo illustrations for original poetry, and to record projects, especially math patterns and block buildings. I would like to extend these into more interactive media. What structure works for blogging with a classroom?
Thanks for your comment Anne - I'm thinking that this community is just the place to start making connections. I'll have a read of your blog and see what tips you have for what works to get students as enthusiastic as I am about this.
Hi Anne, I am after a small piece of advice! I have started a blog for my class at Global Teacher: http://crheb.globalteacher.org.au/ and I am wondering how to attach documents and PP shows so my kids can download new info that I find. I can easily put up pics, sound and video, however it would be a lot more useful if I could add these files as well. Can you help?
Hi Anne,
Thanks for the welcome. I know that I am not alone in my technology frustrations. Unfortunately schools seem to have too few technicians and/or technicians that can actually teach teacher how to better use the technology. Our tech staff is really good but they have too much work and not enough time or hands to get it all done.

Hello there, i'm a school teacher/founder from Nepal. I run an elementary school for poor family rural children. I'm Govinda by my name. if u find me like minded person plz mail me at gopisu@gmail.com
Hi Anne, Are you getting excited about the Learning 2.008 conference? I am really starting to get hyped for it. I attended the pre-conference session last night in Second Life. I enjoyed that and it was my first time to actually attend something live as I also have the timezone difference.
Thanks, Anne! I'm teaching Integrated Tech to 6th graders this year, 1st semester and then a 6th grade computer class 2nd semester. So, I've spent the past few hours doing some searching. Small, rural district - no guidance, I'm pretty much on my own to plot my course! The good thing is that I'm willing and I hear that I have great students this year. I've been doing a lot of research in the past year but now putting it into practice - whew! My head is spinning.
Hi Dave, It is never a bother to contact me. Due to the huge differences in time zones I can rarely participate in live conversations, so although I have attended a couple, I dont often check now. Did you go to theCR2/0 wiki, choose conversations link, scroll right down until you come to the last few dates in August as there seem to be a few still listed there.Choose the actual live link. Let me know if that does not work, and I will find out more for you. Some of those sessions are great so I hope you can get onto them. Please let me know.
Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if the weekly 2.0 chat was still going on. One Google Cal has it listed at 11am (EST) and another at noon. The main ning page (on the right) says to look at the live conversations page, but the only ones listed there are prev. recorded.
Hi Anne. Thank you for your post. I used a wiki when I student taught for a poetry unit, and the students loved being able to share and comment on each other's work. My first year I did not use a blog, but I am starting with a blog this year. I am going to try using online forums and see how that goes. That's so neat that all the students are using blogs now at your school. It's great that community has gone on board.
I am doing well. I was thinking of your plums when I saw that my persimmons are really producing. Our wild sand plums were not very fruitful this year. It may have been too wet. They like a semi-arid prairie.
I gave three presentations this summer, and I ustreamed one recently with the help of GingerTPLC. It is rather amusing to see your own personal quirks on video.
I hope your area will come out of the drought. Ours took five years before it really broke, and the last two were terrible.
Can't wait to see what other new tech stuff you are up to this year. I have put your blogs on my blogroll.
Hi Anne,
Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to exploring more. Really looking forward to introducing this technology to the Japanese department. The little bit we have done so far this year has really sparked an interest. Students were thrilled to be able to record their oral conversations on mobiles and send them to me.
Having enjoyed your tweets about your Flip, I was glad to see your video. Excellent, yet inexpensive tool. Your professional growth has really developed well over the past year.
