Our First Tuesday Tech Talk was lightly attended. Frank talked shop with Vickie DelGallo at the Bradt Lab- he feels he was overshadowed by the LipSync Meeting! Mindy Holland, Cindy Spuzy, and Kathy Klein did some brainstorming with Tom C. at Pinewood, Lori worked with Doug Hallberg on SlideRocket and Doug's teacher webpage, and I had a good talk with Mal Martin and Marc Sullivan at the High School about the benefits of My Big Campus, Blogger/Blogspot, and Tumblr as places where kids want to collaborate and publish in an online environment. Marc has reported that his wife is having an amazing experience using Tumblr with her students. He and Mal are planning to investigate this whole topic further. As you have questions or ideas, jot them down and try to stop by and participate on an occasional tuesday. It would be nice to have a group of 10 or so on any given week sharing and discussing the integration of technology into our teaching.
Patrick- Here's a link you may find useful, or useful to forward (freetech4teachers is on the list):
btw, I found this as a result of stumbleupon.com, which is really cool. Basically, it is like a Pandora for web-pages...you put in your interests and it generates web pages you (might) like. Then you give them thumbs up or down, and it adjusts. It's fun, it works,...and it can really become addictive (and eat up some time). Marc
Thanks Marc.
