While responding to a question from a colleague (I’ll be posting that conversation later once I get through editing it a bit), I stumbled across this post by Austin Lingerfelt. It’s a very well written article about Classroom Blogging. It isn’t simply a glowing review of it. It points out some of […]

This was copied, pasted and edited from an email conversation I had with a colleague that I greatly respect last night.
Steve,
You have to help me with something.
I’ve poked around some with blogs and I just don’t get it. The blogs I’ve read and some that folks get all in a lather about seem like, well, […]

Mental note: Always click submit before closing a window. So now I retype the post I just lost!
Ok, guess what I got working today? If you guess Podcasting, you win! Thanks to David Mansueto from the Podcasters Yahoo group, for turning me on to WireTap. When combined with LineIn, everything works […]

Not quite sure how I found this, but NevOn has quoted an interesting ‘code of conduct’ for bloggers (originally from a report on Forester). I think it could definitely serve as the basis for a code for students as well. Not just in blogs, but in comments, wikis and so on.

I’m making SOME progress with getting the Head at my school to recgonize the potential benefits of blogs in education, but I’m battling for every inch. I think it’s a fight worth waging, but I need some help right now. During our last conversation, she told me that she’d spoked to several principals […]

My microphone isn’t working, the software isn’t working, I tried to record a quick one on the iTalk on my way home today and even that didn’t work! I don’t want to get too into it right now, but I just want to say that I definitely will have another podcast out tomorrow, I […]

It’s been a busy weekend! I really don’t have much time to post right now if I want to eat lunch today (which I do), but I had a quick meeting today with our librarians, Rena and Fredrica, and got them started on Furl and Bloglines. I’m very excited about this because Rena […]

I’m exhausted from a poker game last night, but saw this article and wanted to share. I think the name is rather decieving, since we’re talking audio, not video, we’re talking about new shows for the most part, not current radio shows (excluding some BBS and Air America) and it works for all MP3 […]

Will has a nice post on Ed-Tech Insider about why he feels blogs should be the Ed Tech Tool of the year. It’s really a nice simple explanation about why blogs are such a fantastic tool for the education community. I’m REALLY liking Ed-Tech Insider. They have a few great authors and […]

Muahaha, it works! I can now officially say that I am a podcaster. Hmmm, how long do you think it will be before Think Geek has t-shirts that say “Don’t piss me off or you’ll wind up in my Podcast”? Or something equally geeky like that.
Ok, back on topic. […]

Found a cute little piece of software this morning called KidzLog. It’s basically an all in one blog package that creates all the files your blog needs and uploads them via FTP. It’s gui is very cute and simple, and definitely kid friendly. I’d suggest switching the location of the delete […]
