I'm right there, 10 pm and I'm just getting started. I feel like I want to just redesign the whole curriculum, make it lighter, less paper, more fun, but than there are these things called grades that have to be entered in Smart Web, oh yeah and papers to be graded and lesson plans and all the old stuff is still in place. <BR/> It's inspiring to read your blog.<BR/>Keep writing.<BR/> A long time ago I taught elementary school and we did whole language and in a way the web 2.0 environment feels like it. The boundaries between subject matter is crumbling. Check out what I wrote today in class blog. I'm kind of embarrassed, because it feels primitive. Trying to figure out how to get it to fly. <BR/><BR/>http://ananna.net/WordPress/index.phpMs. Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193022709715409431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14306954.post-1156301930764979452006-08-22T22:58:00.000-04:002006-08-22T22:58:00.000-04:00I'm glad that the presentation sparked some discus...I'm glad that the presentation sparked some discussion among the students - some of my teachers showed it to students as well. Since they are the ones most affected by this, I think we sure better remember to include them in the conversation.<BR/><BR/>I also wanted to let you know that I posted a slightly updated version of the presentation on The Fischbowl, as well as a list of my sources.<BR/><BR/>Just a heads up on Vision - the current version sometimes causes USB lockups on machines from certain manufacturers (we have Dell desktops and it locks up anytime you plug in a new USB device or even switch the ports the USB mouse and keyboard are plugged into). They are working on a fix. I agree it is a great tool - are you using it wirelessly with your laptops?Karl Fischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121548023409279686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14306954.post-1156113659114940722006-08-20T18:40:00.000-04:002006-08-20T18:40:00.000-04:00I hope you've heard about Miguel Guhlin's upcoming...I hope you've heard about Miguel Guhlin's upcoming skyecast with some teachers about <A HREF="http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/blog/archives/2006/08/entry_1965.htm" REL="nofollow"> best practices in blogging. </A> He has also created a <A HTTP://MGUHLIN.WIKISPACES.COM/PORCH HREF="" REL="nofollow">wiki </A> that supports this conversation. As a veteran teacher and staff developer but relative newcomer to <A HREF="http://quirkytech.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">blogging,</A> it was interesting to read your post - gotta love that enthusiasm! It sounds like you have great technical support as well. I'll look forward to reading more about what you're doing with your students this year.Diane Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334892358542302037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14306954.post-1155931662985800232006-08-18T16:07:00.000-04:002006-08-18T16:07:00.000-04:00Hey Mr Chase.

We've been playing with podcasting here so if you are interested here are a couple of links.<BR/><BR/>http://room7.podomatic.com<BR/>http://waimairiroom6.podomatic.com/<BR/>http://georgia.podomatic.com<BR/>The top two are classes using podcasting for the first time. <BR/><BR/>http://moturoa.pbwiki.com/<BR/>This one is a class experimenting with wikis<BR/><BR/>http://room5.podomatic.com <BR/>is another class using podcasting for learning. <BR/><BR/>A directory of great classroom examples of blogs and wikis and podcasts would be really helpful. If anyone has one I'd be interested.Paul Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491389045695966669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14306954.post-1155914709382089172006-08-18T11:25:00.000-04:002006-08-18T11:25:00.000-04:00Good Morning Mr. Chase --Wow-- what a fun first fe...Good Morning Mr. Chase --<BR/><BR/>Wow-- what a fun first few days of school you have -- and what experiences you are providing your students which are LIFE-CHANGING!!!
