I spent the end of June attending the International Society for Technology in Education conference in Philadelphia. What a potpourri of resources! I am still digesting -several weeks later. I thought of all of Orange CIG when I saw this video though, what a great testimony for the power of technology in our classrooms! Just had to share. More ISTE news to come!

For all you music educators out there, check out this excellent video that breaks down a good mash up- what a resource!

I wish I could claim credit for finding it, but it was found by my friend Ken Bolinsky, Theatre educator extraordinaire.

Hi all! Just ran across this blog and thought it sounded interesting. I’m adding it to my list. The Talent Code

Hooray for Collaboration!

Jessica, are you reading this? I just created a Google doc with a list of music that I would like to get for next year. I’m sending it through Google Docs to some other directors in the area so we can all share our “wish lists” and maybe even borrow some music from each other. It’s hard to say what kind of budgets we will have next year, so hopefully this will be a way to help. Here is the link: Music for next year

Ready to get started?

I figure Cory is already begun work on next year’s class – right? So, why should we let her have all the fun? I propose a pre class collaborative! Cory lets us know the when she is going to be in town – maybe one of her web things I can have a cook out at my house – during the day when everyone can find me. We talk out the end of the class and make plans for next year. I’d like a head start on the whole thing so I start the year with a plan. Anyone agree with me? Lauren and I had a impromptu peer collaborative and came up with this idea (as she scoured my barn for junk she can use!) Anyone in?

So I finally did some work on GoogleDocs today. And of course, once I started to figure out how easy it was promptly taught my husband how to use it. I prepared some documents that I’m sending home to the students about our Memorial Day parades, then linked them to my band website. So easy! I still need some tutoring on creating a poll. I’m terrible with spreadsheets. Hello, Skype??? Any takers?

Wiki type timeline for documentation

New ways to create multimedia timelines!

With XTimeline students can collaborate, just as they would when making a wiki, to build a multimedia timeline. Timelines built using XTimeline can include text, images, and video.

Have you guys seen the final reflection page Cory put up? The drawing is too adorable, we all look cute enough to squeeze! Of course, our poetry is perfect
