Good Afternoon Everyone
Hi there everyone, the Sun wants to interview me as to the technologies that kids are using in schools these days - are they all on PDAs, laptops?? (yeah right) - do they ever unplug the MP3 players? What is the upside to all this kit? Downside? Is there a growing gap between the kids who have the technology and those who don't?

Because you are going to use these for a while, it is worth getting a good set. Logitech makes a nice set and this one is fairly reasonable.

Hi Everyone
This is a great site for anything related to Movie Maker 2. I know you probably don't need it due to our thorough tutorial this morning :) but in case you do, the address is http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Tutorials/Index.aspx
Register has a little do on the update. I would say that even if it puts a few kinks into the system, the security patches are worth it.
Hi Everyone
Hi everyone,
Kim sent me the following links to a number of Dreamweaver and Fireworks...
Harvey mentioned that he'd like us to record both our successes and our challenges in our journal, and also asked that we contact him or one of the instructional team members to ask for help should we need it. I'd like to take that notion a step further and I'd like your feedback on it.
Thanks to Raj for posting about QuestGarden on his EDITing in the Dark blog, a project by Bernie Dodge (co-creator of the WebQuest activity structure). For those interested in going further with WebQuests, this might be useful.
Hey there everyone, I won't spam the other blog... well I might, just in case you only check one, but there is a post on my blog that is a response to another blog that posted about the 20 essential skills that teachers should have. Check it out.
I love the idea of playing with laptops and blogging while listening intently to instruction. Keep up the good work
Hi Everyone
Hello Everyone!
Welcome to my informal class blog.
I have set up this site for two reasons. First, and most important, I wanted to have a place where we could communicate as a community outside of regular class time. Second, I wanted everyone to see how a blog can be used to augment either regular or e-class presentations. Given all the other information vehicles we will be using in this class, this blog likely represents a certain amount of communication overkill. However it is one of the tools available to Ed IT specialists and I would be remiss if I didn't use it. I hope this will be the site of some lively discussions!
Cheers
Harv
