Welcome to the new iSchool series - the iSchool crew. Check out my Podcast Producer's first go at doing their own podcast -Edtechcrew style. Found it very difficult but very rewarding. Basic concept is trying to give kids a voice for their honest feedback on th good and bad aspects of technology, and how it is being used in the classroom. Kids collaborate on a Google Doc to make show notes, and upload links to website. Planning to share Google Doc or create a Diigo/Delicious account so other kids at school can all have an input - much like is done here with Diigo. First episode, so be nice! Click on the link to read more of this type of stuf.... "We must give a big thanks and hello to Tony and Darrel from the EdTechCrew podcast, who are enthusiastic educators sharing their knowledge of technology. They have inspired us to try something from the kids' perspective. You know the old saying, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.'"

Awesome blog post on Movie making and literacy skills. Some great pedagogy happening with this group of students. I really like Kynan's philosophy of letting the students learn rather than intervening with teacher direction. Final cut express is a rather complicated piece of software but it looks like these kids have eaten it for breakfast

Interesting discussion of Twitter by Bonnie Stewart

Your trust rating is an important factor that plays an important role as how much money you should get as loan. Lenders take note a number of factors before giving you the loan. You get small funds if you are unable to provide any collateral for the loan. Borrowers who are capable of placing a security against the loan get a large sum of the loan. The lenders also look into your actual cash needs before loan approval in a bid to cover the risk.

A few years ago I was taking a tour of a dome shaped house, and the architect explained to me that domes are an optical illusion. Whenever someone enters a room, their eyes inadvertently glance up at the corners of the room to give them the contextual dimensions of the space they're in.
