    Hey Have you tried any of these webinar sites? Rt

    Rt - I took the "Day in the Life of a Gaggle Student" webinar. I later contacted the webinar team and asked for a copy of the presenter's notes. They sent a PDF "Getting Started with Apps Guide.pdf" highlighting the newest Gaggle Apps. I'll post it in our Google docs for you to take a look at. I'll email it to everyone but here is the link if you want to dive right in. https://docs.google.com/a/buffaloschools.org/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_w6YKU5SNpCYzE4M2FiZjUtZjYzYy00MGUxLTg0NmEtZWRlZDYzOWFkOTYx&hl=en&authkey=CNOQkf8H

    I attended a Gaggle run webinar, "A Day in the Life of a Gaggle Student", this morning. The presenter highlighted most of the new features and apps students and teachers are likely to use to communicate with each other throughout the day. The package is setup like Google Docs in many ways. Gaggle content is filtered so that educators can provide appropriate content and support to their students in a social media like environment. GoToMeeting was the platform used to conduct the webinar. GoToMeeting is a paid service for delivering webinars and conducting onlinr training and meetings.

5 MOOCs Teachers Should Take As Students | Edudemic - 0 views

  • Added by Brian Warmoth on 2013-03-26
  • As massive open online courses continue to evolve, however, educators need to know what they are and how they are changing the education landscape. In fact, teachers and professors could be well served by trying out MOOCs for themselves. After all, the classes are free and full of information. Providers such as Coursera, edX and Udacity offer catalogs of subject- and skills-organized options for new MOOC-takers. For anyone working in education, though, the best first stop might be “Education” category at Coursera.
