Mark, Thanks for the links. I am thinking about using the authorSTREAM to post my next presentation.

Thanks Mark. I'm familiar with authorSTREAM, but not WiZiQ. So I'll take a look.

Mark,

Thanks for the links. Interesting stuff.

Cheers

Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. I have used Authorstream to publish books that students have created using PowerPoint. WiziQ is new to me. I need to explore it some more but I can see this maybe being used to train teachers.

Thank you very much for the welcome and the resources.

I will definitely do that! Thanks for the advice!! :)

Hi Mark,

The WiZiQ site looks like it could be a great new resource for me. Thanks for sharing. I agree with your authorstream recommendation. I use the site myself and have some presentations already uploaded.

Thanks Mark!

Well, thanks. And as I said, I appreciate the info!

Mark,
You may have me confused with someone else. If you're trying to reach Sarah, double check. Although I do appreciate your information. Thanks-Colleen

Hello Mark,

Great sites! I am here less than a day and getting new tools already. Thanks so much for taking the time.

Thanks! I will look into them.

Thanks for that Mark. They look useful.

Hi Mark - Thanks for the links. I had a quick look and see possibilities. In what context are you using either of these services? Where are you in the USA? I am about to drive from Montreal (Canada) out to Cape Cod, then down to Corpus Christi in Texas then up to Iowa - maybe you are along the way so I could stop in for a tea/beer and see what you're up to. Cheers, Bryan

Dear Mark,
Thanks for the info on wiziq. I'll take a look at it more in depth - it looks like a potentially useful resource.
Cheers,

Hi Mark,

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 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 'connecting content and technology' groun, 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 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 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 just meandered through wiziq and joined as well as the site for powerpoints...thanks for the tip. Have you done Webquest? My students are doing one now...great for science.

Mark,
Thanks for the suggestions.
