This seems to be a tremendous collaborative resource where one can gain feedback from others on his/her own lesson approaches....as well as gather instructional ideas from other educators within any particular subject/grade level. Seems to be a broad and expansive warehousing location for ideas/lessons/strategies.

Funny. I think I still have one in my cabinet at school. Amazing how far digital photography has come in a short time.

I stumbled upon this neat article that looks about teacher to student communication 2.0 where communication is done with cell phones that are free to students in a school in Canada. The pilot program in a 10th grade class helped improve grades and attendance. One teacher even used the cell phones to send out a daily journal topic before class. I was very surprised by this article because this idea never even occurred to me as a way of communication in education with students. I personally think it is a good idea for high school students because it can allow for students to increase how they are connected to their education, and hold them more accountable. I thought the school took the right approach with a strict policy being explained right at the start of the pilot. I am very curious what the teachers in the class think about this program.

This was a great read! At my school we send out a newsletter called the Digital Digest. I plan to include some of the ideas from this article in it. I am also exploring some of the links that are in the article. I particularly love the Mathtrain.TV link. I plan to share this with one of our 4th grade teachers who is looking for ways to integrate tech into her math curriculum. Thanks for sharing!

"The TwHistory project began in early 2009 with the first Twitter reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg over a period of several weeks. TwHistory is based on the idea that historical reenactments can take place online and have positive effects for all involved. In school settings these virtual reenactments can increase engagement while providing opportunities for students to research personal journals and other primary source documents. In order to organize, study, and preserve these online reenactments we have created TwHistory.org. View past and current projects on our reenactments page. You can also follow us on Twitter at @TwHistory."

Now THIS is a VERY cool idea. Send someone a link. They click the link and open an app that allows them to record their screen. When they finish they click stop and it gets uploaded to the web and an email is sent to you with a link to a playback page. Watch it there or download it. Now folks can show you exactly what they're doing "wrong."

Interesting idea. What do you think? Kids directing their own education.
