"We all need a little encouragement every now and then. Kid President, knowing this, has put together a video you can play each morning as you wake up or to share with your friend who needs a kick in the right direction. Take a moment and spread some encouragement. "It's everybody's duty to give the world a reason to dance.""

six-week online workshop aims to introduce participants to different ways in which blogging can be integrated into teaching. It will provide hands-on opportunities for educators who are new to blogging to set up and develop their own blogs, as well as to explore the worlds of possibilities provided by different kinds of blogs. By the end of the workshop, participants will have experimented with creating and enhancing blogs, posting and editing entries, inviting members to their blogs, and commenting on one anothers' blogs - using either Blogger or Wordpress platforms. Participants will also have explored blog comment management, template personalization, tagging (labeling) and really simple syndication (RSS).

The main focus of Zane Education's website is to provide an online subscription service providing on-demand access to what is arguably the largest and most comprehensive catalogue of dedicated K-12 educational videos available anywhere in the world. To supplement student learning requirements, we also provide online testing in the form of interactive multiple-choice quizzes so that the student is then able to test himself or herself on what has been learnt in each video.
This is another Ning network I am on that you might like to check out. Michelle DeCraene, Florida, created the network and she provides some interesting discussions. I was really interested in the discussion about virtual worlds and accessibility. It hasn't been too active lately so maybe we can contribute to the conversation. Check out her profile on MirandaNet-she's been involved in some amazing projects with special ed. and technology.
