| Teach42 Updated : Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:42:43 +0000 The Best of Edu 2.0 As I’ve been finding interesting Web 2.0 sites that I think are worth checking out, I’ve been adding them to my Edu 2.0 page on Scoop.It. Give it a visit and if you see something that should be there but isn’t, use the suggest tab. Want to try out Scoop.It yourself? The first ten people [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:33:00 +0000 Re-invention Sometimes you have to crack a few eggs. My old theme was broken. My blogging habits were broken. So I’m going to add more butterscotch ripple and start fresh. Publ.Date : Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:20:00 +0000 The trouble with alts I saw a post on Mashable about Everloop and decided to check it out. The site is intended for students ages 8-13 but your 14-15 year olds and children under 8 can use the site as well, provided they comply to the terms of service. I decided to register as a student to see what [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 16 Feb 2011 20:58:59 +0000 BYO Tech – Future or fallacy Image via Wikipedia If you’re even remotely considering using iPads at your school, you should be following Fraser Speirs. But he recently put up a post that has me raising my eyebrows just a bit. I’d love to comment on his site, but comments are turned off right now. In his Run What Ya Brung [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 12 Oct 2010 18:51:14 +0000 Podcast – Remember when nobody was on Twitter? We all do. Image via Wikipedia I guess I was feeling reflective yesterday, got the bug to create a podcast. Not a big deal, I know, people do it all the time. I think this was the first one I’ve done in about a year, so it felt like a big deal to me. I talk about that [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:18:51 +0000 Sometimes it’s the simple things… Saw a new site recommended on Twitter today called Pen.io. The description? “Create beautiful text based pages in seconds and share them with the world.” That’s it. And that’s really all it does. No registration, no email required. Just put in what you want the link to be and a password of your choice. It [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:14:14 +0000 Discovery Education on the iPad. Image by motionblur via Flickr I’ve been waiting a long time for this. The very first day I unwrapped the iPad, I went over to Discovery Education to test it out. And while it worked surprisingly well, it wasn’t the experience that users deserved. That was rectified yesterday. We launched a brand new site that [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 08 Oct 2010 18:49:56 +0000 Tripline: The interface we always wanted for Google Lit Trips… and more! Mike Bryant dropped me an email last night recommending that I check out Tripline, and boy am I glad he did! It’s another one of those sites that allows you to create custom Google Maps, but the interface and features make it stand head and shoulders above many others. It has the social features that [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:39:18 +0000 The iPad is the Bicycle of the Digital Age Image by Wayan Vota via Flickr Working on an iPad presentation and in my research, came across an interesting interview with Warren Buckleitner, editor of Children’s Technology Review ( childrenstech.com). I’m enamored with the iPad right now, and even though I don’t have one, I think the current iPod Touch is an amazing device. Aiden [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 28 Dec 2010 19:04:50 +0000 Podcast – Is three too young for an account on YouTube? Image by amandacphoto via Flickr And yes, that is a serious question. I really enjoyed doing the last podcast and had a few thoughts bouncing around the ol’ noggin yesterday afternoon. So I said, “What the heck, let’s let it roll…” Recorded another podcast during the drive home. Two in one week, will wonders never [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:05:43 +0000 A quickie about Qwiki. Image via CrunchBase Ever see a new site that wows you, not just because it has good content, but because of the way it presents it? That’s where I file Qwiki. So far as I can tell, it basically takes text from a variety of locations, adds a great text-to-speech translater to it, and then [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:56:04 +0000 Want some more chances to win a free M90z? Here’s how! Image by teach42 via Flickr I’m giving one Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z through the Fit42 Challenge, but if you want some other ways, you have a whole bunch of chances to do so. Each of the people below are doing giveaways on their own site, just click through on the dates listed to see how you [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 10 Dec 2010 17:18:32 +0000 Jamming with uJam Image via CrunchBase Matt “Geekybird” Monjan told me he had a site that he thought I’d love, but I’ll be honest, I was skeptical. It isn’t often that I find a Web 2.0 site that totally rocks me. uJam does. Big time. I’ve shared it in three presentations in the last week alone, and every [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:01:38 +0000 The Fit42 Health and Fitness Challenge Image via Wikipedia I’m fat. There I said it. I’m not thrilled about it, and I’ve made some strides, but I’m definitely a yo-yo dieter. Lost 33 pounds, gained back almost 10. Feh. So what should I do about it? Some might just recommit. Some might seek out the support of friends. Me? I create [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:53:36 +0000 Color scheme [box icon="arrow"]See that box in the upper right that says click me? Try out some of the different color schemes and let me know which one you like the best![/box] Publ.Date : Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:00:00 +0000 |
