No, not a Teach42.com podcast or vlog, but I did finally piece together the first Discovery Educator Network podcast.  It featuers interviews with some teachers in Texas at the TCEA conference.  They plug the heck out of Discovery products.  What’s interesting is that I really did not prompt them at all.  I swear!  That’s not […]

BUSlink’s 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive PRO 2 Series - Engadget
I misread this one at first and thought to myself, why would Engadget be covering a 64mb flash drive?
Then I saw that it’s not MB. It’s GB. 64 GIGABYTES of solid state memory the size of a keyring. […]

Over the summer, I had the unique opportunity to get wired up and try a cutting edge ’solution’ for ADD.  Well, I thought it was unique at the time.  Not so much I guess!
I thought it was pretty darn cool and had a lot of potential, something that I would have liked to explore more […]

Steve Burt talked about this briefly during the latest Ed Tech Coast to Coast and piqued my interest.  It’s a web based app called DabbleDB.  I’m not exactly sure how to describe it.  It’s sort of like Excel and Filemaker combined with silly putty.  All I know is that I want in.  After watching a […]

I’ve been pretty lucky.  I’ve owned just about every gadget that I’ve ever coveted at one time or another.  By making good use of eBay, there are very few pieces of technology that I havent’ gotten my hands on at least for a little while.  However, I think I’m now in a rather uncomfortable position.
I […]

Just doing a little more reading about Microsoft’s Oragami project and found a set of the default backgrounds that the dvice is going to come with.  Is it just me or do they look strikingly similar to Mac OS X’s default backgrounds?

By all rights, this should be a series of 4 or 5 blog articles.  Instead, I’m going to make the classic blogging mistake and cram it all into one post.  But I had so many fantastic experiences at FETC that crossed over so many lines, I don’t think I could seperate them if […]

I haven’t had a chance to try this out, but while poking around Feedburner today, I noticed a feature I’d never seen before (well, quite a few, but one in paritcular). Feedburner now supports the use of a username and password to protect your feed.
This doesn’t sound like a big deal, but if it […]

Just got a new site up today!  I’ve been in love with this project the moment I heard about it.  I mentioned it in brief a couple weeks ago, but things are up and rolling now. 
The site is DiscoveryEducatorAbroad.com.  There’s a Travel Channel show called 5 Takes: Pacific Rim and we got permission to […]

Catching up on the aggregator a bit today, and found something a little ironic while reading through David Warlick’s blog. First I read about his experience meeting Consuelo Molina. 
I looked back — at a young man with a hulking video camera resting on his shoulder, and that customary tremor of terror […]

If you haven’t, here’s your chance! Discovery Education has been doing a series of totally free webinars, open to the public. The first two were presented by […]

Discovery Educator Network - Wisconsin: A trip to Mars (almost!)
The aggregator may be getting a little neglected, but this one came through the inbox. I subscribe to all of the DEN blogs through email so I can always see the way things are being sent out to our email subscribers. So while doing […]

Discovery Education just launched it’s latest product, the first that is totally built and designed for students. It’s called "Cosmeo" and it’s a subscription based service for children at home.
I haven’t worked directly on this project at all, but I did get to see it at different points during its development and to be […]

Yesterday I attended Hall Davidson’s pre-conference session about Adobe Premiere Elements.  While it may not be as "Apple Easy" as iMovie, it’s certainly way more powerful.  Heck, just being able to multiple layers of video is a compelling reason to choose Premiere Elements. 
I’ve seen Hall present on many an occasion, but this is the […]

Want to hear a great way to spend a day?  I’m hanging out at the CUE conference and spending the day being approached by teachers who are sharing with me interesting ways that they’re using technology in the classroom.
I’m one of four Discovery Employees that peopl eneed to get a stamp from in order to […]
