I found this article very interesting. I know when I was in high school there was a lot of goofing around and behavior problems on the bus to and from school. I think that having internet access on the bus would really decrease these problems. Some students spend a lot of wasted time on the bus to and from school and this is a way to make this time productive. Students would be able to work on homework and do research. I also thought that having this option for sports teams to use was great. Imagine being a coach and giving your players access to the internet in between games, or on the long bus trips to the tournament.

One of the wonders of the Internet is that it can bring the world to you instead of your needing to find the time and money to explore the traditional way. The following virtual tours bring opportunities to explore cities, famous landmarks and buildings, museums, college campuses, and even outer space. You can learn how things are made, explore the human body or that of a life-sized whale, and visit ball parks and theme parks. There is even a section of incredible virtual tours that Google Earth has compiled that shares the world in a whole new way.

This is a wikispace tool kit covering a number of tools. Glogster is a really cool tool for teacher and for students to create and organize information.

Lots of great resources on this wiki. Select a topic and link out to numerous resources. Start on this embedded glogster page and go out to wiki pages.

I thought this poll was interesting since our school was currently looking into this effort.

Multiple choice questions give students food for thought on how other nations eat and share their meals, manners included. Nice for World Cultures classes and maybe even FCS. Drumming may be slightly annoying,

This will tie in nicely with my unit on ettiquette with my Foods 2 students before their formal dinner!

I had a conversation with the bot and it is very intuitive. The dialog was about age, manners and politeness. It was very kool to be able to converse with this automated being and I believe that the very quick and smart responses will engage the kids. Have fun with this one. It is for communications skills.
