This is an example of how I used Diigo to create an annotated link to give feedback on a wiki on Flat Classroom. I love using Diigo for giving wiki feedback because I can mark up the page. I like ot share them through groups that are private with my students and I and the annotated link feature is one of the best ways to do this.

Love this post from my friend Leon Cych in the UK where they had a Continuing Professional Development Experience in a treehouse in a park in London (yes, look at the pictures, I kid you not!)

They discussed (and documented via mp3, text, and video) the CPD model (and how to fix it), Web 2 tools, how to be more inclusive of all teachers in ongoing professional development, cost effectiveness of CPD options and a quite interesting topic they called "working outside of silos." (Very interesting.)

Perhaps silos most interest me because often I feel I am in one -- so many of us are working on similar things, but how many are truly sharing what they are doing - it is a constant struggle to share what is happening.

Anyway - this post is enough to give you mental cogitation food for the next few weeks AND Leon documents how they documented the experience.

Hmmm... wonder if there will be any trees in Denver.

Interesting ideas -- this teacher is setting off on a journey - scrapbooking 365 days of her life. Interesting idea. For me, it may be just another thing to get behind on. It would be interesting to have a school do this and perhaps pass around a scrapbook between classes -- even better, each class has a page. Interesting idea!

Reading reflections of students on the Flint River project. These words bring tears to my eyes:

"These past days have been the best school days of my life." - written by a freshman. How many freshmen you know would say something like that?

One of my students, Miller, answers questions on Terry Freedman's blog - her writing is excellent and it almost killed me NOT to edit or critique her work, but we really wanted her to share. She is an excellent writer and has well formed views about the use of technology in high schools, middle school, and elementary. You can ask her questions and she'll respond over the next few weeks. (Then she's taking summer break!)

Elf yourself is a very viral jib-jab style Christmas animation that lets you put 5 faces into the program and turn them into dancing elves. It is hilarious and would be great to create for that office christmas party -- it lets you download it and you could burn to dvd. (also fun addition to that family dvd you made in photostory or picasa)

What fun! (And a BIG win for Office Max)

Web 3.0 and how the web is evolving is a part of current discussion. Some say Web 3D is more likely with Second Life like environments merging with the Semantic web.

"Jessica Rauch is the August winner of ideablob.com’s monthly contest for The Generation Project. The Generation Project allows potential donors and philanthropists to give back to students based on their own interests. For example, a writer might sponsor a poetry contest or a cancer survivor could sponsor hospital internships. Jessica will be awarded $10,000 to help launch the first phase of the program, which will start next year in New York City and Chicago."

From Ideablob - a place where people who want to receive funding can submit their idea.

Fascinating response from Chris Lehman to a Dan Meyer who asks him a question about what he should do when the test scores of his students don't measure up? In true Practical Theory style, Chris gives a whiz of an answer.
