Making the Madness educational

Over on Digital Passports, I shared a post about ways to bring March Madness into the classroom. One of the sites I mentioned in the post was Swivel, one of the more interesting 2.0 sites out there for educators.
Well there’s nothing I like more than a company that keeps an eye […]

Open Book Meme

There are two new sites that I’ve started playing around with quite a bit lately: Twitter and Ning. For each of these sites, I’ve been actively trying to find other friends and EduBloggers I know who are using them to add to my friends list. After all, they’re really designed for social networking, […]

I’ve been wanting to create a social network for educators who actually *gasp* play video games, but could never quite find the right platform for it. I think Ning fits the bill pretty darn well. So whether you’re a master of the first person shooter or a wizard in Worlds of Warcraft, […]

Vidpedia? Let’s just throw copyright out the window.

I’ve seen a couple people post about Vidpedia recently and even had somebody email me about it. I saw it a few days ago and dismissed it because there really wasn’t much video content on it at all, but I decided to give it a second look.
Now I can’t get that nasty taste of […]

Twitter

I thought Twitter was just fun and games until I read this post by Elizabeth Lane.
If you actually visit the blog (instead of reading it via aggregator), you’d see that I added Twitter to my sidebar now. I don’t know what it is about it, but there’s no question it’s infectious. For some […]

Top 10 FREE Web 2.0 Sites for Educators (and a few honorable mentions)

A couple of months ago now, I asked people to share with me their top 3 Web 2.0 resources for educators. I was in the process of putting together a presentation and wanted to get some feedback from the general public, and also trying to find some new ones that I hadn’t played around […]

Ning: Build your own MySpace

Simulblogged @ Digital Passports
This is one blip on the radar to keep your eyes on.  After playing with it for half an hour, I started to get that funny feeling that this one could very well be a winner for many educators.
The site is called Ning.  I first read about it on TechCrunch, and spent […]
