FCPS TRT

is a new service that is best described as a blog platform that offers rich multimedia commenting. If you've ever tried Tumblr, Web Doc will initial look familiar to you. Web Doc makes it easy to create a new post full of multiple media formats. Web Doc provides templates for changing the visual background of each post, widgets for all kinds of purposes (calendar, games, etc), and of course lots of options for video and image display. What makes Web Doc unique is that people who visit your Web Doc can reply with Web Docs of their own. In other words, the comments written in reply to your Web Doc can contain all of the rich multimedia elements that a Web Doc started from scratch can contain. This takes commenting to a new level compared to "traditional" blog platforms that only allow hyperlinks to be inserted into a comment.

Now that Flip is gone and we are not ready to adopt tablet and mobile devices, we should look at these.

VERY COOL tool to get a human-readable version of the Google Calenar in Word. Many teachers are starting to use Google Calendar embedded in their web pages but Google truncates the events after so many are added. This tool will expand the box for any day that has multiple events added.

This series chronicles one school's journey to implement mobile devices in the school. They have the same concerns FCPS has. It will be interesting to follow their progress to see how they overcome the issues. Granted, this is one school and we are many, but the issues are similar.
