Thanks, Jon. Read -the creative educator article- and enjoyed reading it. I hope it will inspire our teachers towards taking steps in this direction as well.

Thanks for the advice Jon Orech. will be checking out the info in your wikispaces, blog, and even twitter.

Hi Jon!

Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Illinois.

You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the wealth of information- I am going to check out your resources, and then I will contact you with more questions.

Wordle eh? I'll have to try that tool if you recommend it. I'll throw twitter your way. You can find me at http://twitter.com/mikeromard

I saw your post on Digital Storytelling. I have experience with Voicethread, iMovie and Photostory. I'm interested in what suggestions you have for sharing it as a technology coach in a district. My experience currently resides with conference presentations and staff meetings with it. You can leave me a private message here or leave some ideas in the Digital Storytelling section. Cheers!
