I got the diigolet on my iPad, finally!  When he says to copy the code, he means the code in step 3, not step 2.  I use Diigo all of the time, and the lack of the diigolet prevented me from using the iPad as often as I'd like.  Whew!

This article was published in Learning and Leading with Technology (lovingly referred to as L&L in Ed Tech world).  I try not to just list every new website I 'stumble upon' but only the ones that look as if they might actually be used by teachers.  Storify might just be one of the keepers.

Thoughtful slide show at ISTE about personalizing learning. Lots to use here to let the faculty understand what we mean by the term.  Our own tech plan calls for a digital backpack (I didn't know that was a trademarked concept when I used it in the tech plan!)

YouTube video of MLK and I Have a Dream speech.  Shows march, crowds, Washington  as well.  over 17 minutes long.  Recommended by our own Mary Benton!

Wow! What a great collection of Tools!! I will have to spend a lot of time exploring this

I wish they had iPad recommendations, too! Of course, the Flash tools won't work on our iPads. Looks like a great list of resources.

I love this resource!

This is one of the first schools I learned about using these competencies.  

Check out Google's new tool for taking data (i.e. coffee growers world wide) and turning into a map.  Very interesting.  Nice follow up to the Gapminder video.

This is one of the schools we visited, and was one of my favorites.  I have some footage of their language class.  All these little ones have iPads and it is just amazing to watch them use them.

OnLive lets you use windows programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) on your iPad :)

I have CloudOn on mine, which used to be a for fee product, but for now is free. Frankly, though, I like using Google Docs better.

3rd grade web site.  Check out the "money earned" for doing homeworkd, etc.  Not sure what I think of it.  Some of the math games might be fun in advisory?

I like Warlick, and Finland's educational system has been in the news a lot lately.

5 lessons using MLK I Have a Dream in conjuntion with Nikkii iGiovanni's Poem "The Funeral of MLK".  Nice companion piece to the YouTube video of his speech.  Thanks to Mary Benton!

Video sessions from ISTE.  50 of the zillions of options during the conference are available for a year.  Teri and I can recommend this conference highly and warmly encourage you to check out some of these amazing talks!

Teri and I got intrigued by the concept of a bank of iPads while we were at ISTE.  Here are a few things to consider.

I have used, and am a fan of, GoodReader! Some of these others look fabulous as well.

This is a video of an online meeting I had with several educators around the state.  Bram, the moderator from Danville, has created a wonderful Inspiration presentation considering many aspects of eportfolios.

"Here is a new video from EDUCAUSE with four experts and me addressing the question, "Why is measuring learning difficult?" Some good reflections on learning analytics, data, MOOCs, testing, pyschometrics, and more. I think the video has a nice balance of humility and optimism. Learning is much more complex than we can ever really pin down, but that doesn't mean that we can conduct meaningful assessments that lets students and mentors identify their learning experiences as, as Gardner Campbell says, find new doorways forward. "
