Interesting video!

Garry...thanks for sharing! That is a very powerful video. I really think that all teachers should see that. We have to realize that we need to TEACH our students. There is so much out there to support our teaching and we all need to find it and use it! Thanks for sharing that!

One of my students from WM created this webpage about social bookmarking.  It includes a video featuring a teacher who is using the tool in her classroom.

I recently saw an episode of The Colbert Report where Nicholas Carr carefully examines the most important topic in contemporary culture; the mental and social transformation created by our new electronic environment. The challenge will be to stay off the web long enough to read his book! This is an interview about his previous book (same topic).

This online community provides educators with free access to webinar style video conferencing software.  We can use it for virtual office hours.

This is a video from a news show in Chicago. Good one for parents to watch to see what kids are doing on facebook/myspace and to find out ways to protect them. I liked how the guy in the video said that kids don't just use it for social purposes, but that some of them have homework or school groups to help each other out. Even though that is probably 1% of teenagers it was still nice to see that aspect spoken about.

This may have been the worst interview I have ever seen, but the content was important. I did like how he gave a plug for academic uses as well.

VoiceThread is a cool sight for creating online presentations with pictures, video clips and audio (music and/or narration). Products created with VoiceThread can be easily shared online.
