My good friend, Louise Maine, shared this with me. It is a great opportunity. Please share it.
I really enjoyed intrepid teacher's thoughts about changing your avatar and self expression. I think this is very insightful into what is in the minds of our students and children.
I don't think I change my picture much as it reminds me that I have 40 pounds to lose.
Bitty Browser is an incredibly cool and useful tool.
It allows you to embed a website inside another web page - so if you want to embed a web page for people to use in your wiki, just use the bitty browser. You can even create up to 100 feeds and make a mini RSS reader for education news for those teachers you KNOW will NEVER use RSS. Fascinating tool.
How history teachers are using the web to teach history - some great examples and tools that you may want to use on your wiki - dipity is a GREAT tool as is the bitty browser. This may actually affect HOW you do your web page.
Fascinating link for social studies and some samples. I LOVE how some web pages were inserted using bitty browser. What a cool tool. This site also features several dipity timelines. This is a GREAT site for history teachers to see.
You an use this site to "drop" or share files on the Internet. It only uses up to 100 MB of space but it still looks like a simple way to share. You can drop files by phone, email, web, widget or fax. Very interesting.
