We have asked these presenters to do a webinar for CFF Coaches.

Patty Duncan is a science teacher who teaches Chemistry and earth and space science. She is also a discovery education presenter and shared this wikispace at the 2010 PA PETE & C conference. It is a fantastic site.

This wikispace is great. Please share with anyone who teachers science. This presenter, Patty Duncan, shared this in her Pete & C presentation "10 Ideas for Using Technology in the Science Classroom" but there are more then 10 on this wikispace.

Excellent slideshare with audio that explains Creative Commons. Excellent!

This was shared in the Classroom 2.0 and Educators lists. Send this to your teachers!

How has the Internet changed the way we think, these commenters were asked. An interesting collection of comments... one noting: "Today, most people only recognize that they are using the Internet when they are interacting with a computer screen. They are less likely to appreciate when they are using the Internet while talking on the telephone, watching television, or flying on an airplane."

"This is a post from my www.tweenteacher.com website. I had just seen Robert Marzano speak at the CUE conference (Computer Using Educators). I've posted before about my long journey down the Interactive Whiteboard road, but this keynote renewed my excitement even while I struggle alone as the only ELA teacher in my district with an IWB. Enjoy." (see link to actual Marzano presentation in the comments, too)

Upcoming changes!

Create a "binder" full of bookmarked sites that then show up as tabs and sub-tabs. The binder gets one url to share. Nice way of packaging a collection of sites. Like this one about google: http://livebinders.com/play/play/3803

According to the site - "do with digital information what you do with the papers on your desk - organize them into nice containers - like 3-ring binders on your shelf.:

Your 3 -ring binder on the web. Very cool way to organize your info for the web. Would be interested to see how your teachers use it.

"Swiffy converts Flash SWF files to HTML5, allowing you to reuse Flash content on devices without a Flash player (such as iPhones and iPads). Swiffy currently supports a subset of SWF 8 and ActionScript 2.0, and the output works in all Webkit browsers such as Chrome and Mobile Safari. If possible, exporting your Flash animation as a SWF 5 file might give better results. "

Another one shared on twitter. Also via email. (Thanks, Joanne R)

A great looking scientific calculator. Have the students add this page to their links bar. I wonder if it works on the ipad. Hmmm..
