A new way to podcast. Simple and easy to use, Vocaroo provides you with a link to your recording that you can embed into blogs and sites. Your recording can be as long as you like. The recording will be deleted after a few months, so if you want to keep it, you will need to download it to your computer.
RSS, podcasts, screencasts and more. How can you stay on top of them all? The November Learning team has designed a series of educational handouts that can make any user comfortable with the latest technology tools. Each sheet can be read, printed and passed out as needed. Use them in your next professional development session.
"I love art. I believe it is an integral part of us as humans. As such, I am always looking at ways to do a better job of incorporating it into my lessons. Here is a great little post about how to do just that."

If it Were My Home is a fascinating website that asks students to consider what their life would be like if they were born in a different country. Would they be the same person? If it Were My Home is a country comparison tool where students can compare living conditions in their own country to those of another. When students select a country, there is a visual overlay comparison of maps. Students can easily visualize relative size of another country based on their own state or country. Students will also see a break down of death rates, HIV/AIDS, birth rate, electricity availability, oil consumption, economic comparison, health care, and class divide. Students have the ability to compare the country they selected with another country of interest. Students can learn additional information about the country and vote to show if they would rather live in the chosen country. Additionally, most countries offer a recommended reading list with books about the selected country. When students click on the mini-facts, they get a full description of the fact along with the original source. K Tenkley
