Well, the survey is all set to go! In celebration of my 200th post here at Teach42.com, I’m giving away a free Flickr Pro account. Personally, I love Flickr and think it’s a fabulous service.
Here’s how you can win. Below you will find a link to a brief survey […]

Ok, I have way too much going on to hold off and do what I wanted to for the 200th post. So instead, I’ll announce what I will be doing! First of all, I ecstatic that I made it to 200 posts. It’s an arbitrary number, but I’m still excited nontheless. […]

Will is constantly talking about the people drinking the Blog “Kool-Aid”. It’s a pretty poignant analogy, and in my last podcast I talked about people drinking the Podcast Kool-Aid as well. However, leave it to an art teacher, The Academic Aesthetic, to come up with a logo to go along with the phrase. […]

Simulblogged with On The Cutting Edge-ucation
When I started podcasting, there were about two or three other educators who had given it a shot and nobody was doing it regularly. Early on, I often said that one of the main reasons that I was doing this was so to encourage other people to get started […]

I’ve had the week off this week, so I sort of checked out from the network world. I sent out a slew of resumes, got a lot of personal things done, but stayed away from the microphone, my bloglines account and Wordpress. I have a few thousand blog posts to scan through, and […]

Got a great email from Flickr a day or two ago.
You may have heard on the grapevine that we planned to
reward our dear Flickr members who bought a Pro Account in
the early days. Well, it’s true! And since you’re one of
those lovely people, here’s a little something to say YOU
ROCK!
Well, I must agree with them, […]

Whenever someone comments on the blog, I receive an email. At that point, I have the choice of responding directly to that person via email or responding on the blog. I prefer to respond on the blog, but I’m always worried that the person won’t see that I’ve replied. I just found […]

Via The Unofficial Apple Weblog:
I haven’t loaded up SubEthaEdit in a while and to be honest, I kind of forgot about it. However, it really is one incredibly cool text editor. Essentially, it’s a back to basics word processor with one massive twist; multiple people can be working collaboratively at the same time. […]

Did you know that NASA has jumped on to the podcasting bandwagon! They have a show called Science @ NASA…. to go that provides audio versions of Science news stories. They’ve apperantly been doing it for years, but started podcasting them back in December. Definitely one to add to the […]

Via The Education Wonks: Irish Teachers Union Nervous About “Rate My Teachers.com”
Be careful. Students are starting to realize that they can actually use this thing called the internet to share what they think! I know that sounds frightening, but we’re going to have to get used to it.
If you haven’t been to Rate […]

Ummm… Wow. Are you short on reading material? Didn’t think so. However, you still can’t pass up a post like this one. I found it viaRemote Access, it’s The Education Wonks: Carnival of Education: Week 6.
Massive list of links, some great articles, and quite a refereshing way of presenting them […]

At least a few of you reading this blog are tech coordniators. That means that amongst your many other hats, you probably manage your school’s email server. How many times have you had someone call you up because their email is bouncing and when you check it out, you find then have 5000+ […]

Anytime I hear the words “on a mission” I have to append the words “from God”. Probably because I live in Chicago and have watched the Blues Brothers way too many times. But I digress.
Dave Warlick has posted up an interesting story. I won’t even bother to summarize it, you can read […]

There’s an interesting article about a boy using an alternative to prescription drugs to deal with ADD. Most of the article has to do with his struggles to find a solution. There are quite a few statstics thrown around pretty carelessly, that I would love to see some sources on.. They claim […]

As I was typing up the show notes for my last ‘cast, I realized that I hadn’t my comments queue for a few days. It’s basically my bear trap that I leave out there for spammers to play around with. Any comments that have more than 3 links in them or have certain […]
