TLC = Tech + Library + Classroom: Wordle and Books = Groovy Stuff!

Intro to Cultural Anthropology F09 Home - Intro to Cultural Anthropology F09

This is the wiki page for one of my former student (she was in the first Flat Classroom class and in Tom Friedman's book along with me) -- thiws is what they are using for the cultural anthropology class at Florida State University. She was so excited because she was one of the only students in the class who knew how to use a wiki at all! She says the others are lost.

It is time for you to wake up and smell the paper burning! Time to get on board and make sure students know how to use these tools!

iPhone Education - 4 Reasons Why Mobile Devices Will Transform How Our Kids Learn

Fascinating reading for those (like me) who believe that banning cell phones in schools is like damming the Mississippi river without providing outlet - you might do it for a while, but eventually, the dam will break. Eventually the ban will break because of unenforceability and usability of these tools in cash strapped schools.

RSVP to Discuss Back-to-School Survival on #GNO Tuesday on Twitter :Mom it Forward

I've been learning somethign new this week. On Tuesday nights, I 'd noticed the #gno hashtag floating around. It stands for Girls night out (although I've seen men participate) and I was asked to be a part of it tomorrow night. I wanted to learn how to host a twitter panel and do this, so here we are. Here is the information on how to do it. On Wednesday night, I and some friends are going to experiment with this to share some tools for teachers at http://edutweetpanel.wikispaces.com -- feel free to join in.

I think that learning how to do a twitter panel is probably something new to help us comprehend how Twitter works to bring us together in deeper ways than we have thought of before.

schoollearningcommons / FrontPage

This website is a companion to David Loertscher, Carol Koechlin, and Sandi Zwaan's must read book The New Learning Commons: Where Learners Win! about the transformation of libraries into the learning commons. David is a true visionary who I personally respect immensely and was so delighted he gave me this book at NECC when we happened to bump into each other at NECC.

YouTube - Technology Fear Factor in Education

Just rewatched this video I made in March 2007 about Technology in Education (particularly in the US.) Have had some say they couldn't read what I was saying, however, it is using IM speak - you have to just read the letters I'm pointing to! Last I checked this video, I had about 2,000 views - it is now up over 25,000! Hmm - what is happening?
