  Would be interesting to give this a try with the 8th grade science teacher I work with. Seems like such a perfect fit for science. Do students need to prove that they watched the videos?

  Interesting, I didn't realize that reading wasn't a natural skill. Does that explain why some people have so much trouble becoming good readers.

  The internet has certainly taken over my life. When the internet goes down at school I find myself thinking, "Now how am I going to teach."

  This sounds very similar to the grumbling I hear from teachers when they complain that standardized tests are taking all of the creativity out of teaching. Interesting that the complaints started so long ago.

I just finished using this site to create a presentation. I used the free version. Although somewhat limiting, it is free and I'm happy with the result.

shared by Melissa Wilson on 14 Jun 12 - No Cached

If you create wikis for each student as an ePortfolio and showcase of their work, your students can now include and share all of their Google Docs work. They can easily create new Google Documents from within Wikispaces or move existing Google Documents into and out of their wiki. It’s so easy for students to organize and present their artifacts, add reflections, and put context around their work in your class for parent conferences.

Although this article was written in 2007, I still think it is relevant. It would be a good source for justifying a technology grant request.
