FCS Tech

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere. We have 1200+ videos on YouTube covering everything from basic arithmetic and algebra to differential equations, physics, chemistry, biology and finance which have been recorded by Salman Khan. Listen to a recent interview by Salman with NPR's All Things Considered

Would be nice, but I'd rather have overkill than never having people see it in the first place.

True-I really like the diigo interface and it should be the place where we are teaching all of the teachers to store their bookmarks. I especially love that it affords this kind of conversation about a site

That would have inspired David!

"The NAIS magazine has predicted half of high school courses will be online by 2019." seems aggressive to me . . . what do you guys think?

Fully-online or blended? I think half of the FCS teachers will have a website of some kind by that year.

Coming this summer!

yesssssssssssssssss.

For W"HEN you get asked for a printed version of the calendar.

Nice find - i put it into the comp rotation blog

Netsupport alternative

Free version of netsupport

has anybody tested this yet?

I think this is an important event for us to attend. I'm not sure how I can move my curriculum forward without it. (How's the budget looking?)

an an easy way to share a bunch of URLs? Simply list down all the URLs you want to share in the box below (one link per line, including http://) and we will create a single link to share.

Summer technology training for teachers with over 75% enrollment in 2009! 

Agreed. Paying teachers to participate would probably help. He also has 10 different teachers who have been trained via PLP and are in a position to hold the workshops. Not sure what the trainers get paid per workshop.

That's a great program. I wonder even with a stipend how many of our faculty would actually attend.

Good model for Internet Interns, or MFT service project?

Agreed-The Karliner flying solo model doesn't work. Any move toward institutionalizing training is good by me. Assuming the training is created/supported by the tech dept and a team of trained students.

Looks like a cool tool that could have a number of classroom applications

Good call josh. I shared this with Dottie last March when she was looking for mindmapping tools. http://www.diigo.com/user/fcsdjc/mindmap

I missed this the first time around.  But it's still as relevant as ever.

Post this to the Ning?

haven't checked it out yet but looks like it could be useful

maybe just another looks like facebook classroom site, but seems pretty full featured

yeah-played with this one with murph last year - its actually really good. Has asignments and drop box functionality, but like all things tech at FCS-who will try it?

This is the yearly education conference at SLA.  I'm going to try to go this year.  Anyone else interested?

the cloud version looks like a pretty good option.
