S 339 proposes a new model of education - one that integrates technology and social responsibility into classroom instruction. We will be opening our school to an in-person and online audience on June 9th, 2009 in an event we're calling Dot-to-Dot: A Global Learning Reception. We're expecting an in-person attendance of 500 and an online attendance in the thousands. Students and teachers will be presenting their projects from 1pm-5pm EST; these include a documentary on special education, a documentary about student awareness of genocide that highlights one class's work with Darfur is Dying, a student-written bilingual play about the immigration experience, and public service announcements on social issues, among others. You can participate in person or online. In-person attendees will be able to see these presentations live, and online attendees will be able to see streaming presentations and leave comments for teachers and students. Dot-to-Dot represents the work of 67 teachers, 840 students, and an entire school committed to imagining the future of education.

Yodio offers an integrated, one-stop digital publishing service where anyone can go to self-record, produce, and share audio recordings (podcasts) and personal broadcasts (audio synchronized with digital photos). Using Yodio's free production system, most anyone can combine digital photos with their recorded audio to create rich media presentations. What is a rich-media presentation? Think voice narrated power point presentations or photo albums. Now think of them being shared in a player similar to YouTube, so they can be streamed throughout the internet or the player can be embedded in other websites, blogs, etc. This is personal broadcast with the sharing part operating on steroids! You can link, e-mail, embed, and in many cases download as an MP3 file. It's made to share memories and photos that are made more interesting and informative by adding your own voice.

"The Interesting Ways to Use series has been really successful. I measure their success in how useful they are to teachers and other educators in helping with professional development. They have been a great example of crowdsourcing good quality classroom ideas and it has been great fun connecting with all of the people who have taken time to add an idea. It is remarkable what can be achieved and created together if you give people the right way to do it. Thanks for all the help so far. It all began with One Idea, One Slide and One Image as a premise for the IWB presentation and that has always remained. I hope we can all continue to create them - let me know if you have any other ideas for a presentation. I wanted to keep the family together in one place and give you one page to see them all, as so many of you have requested. Don't forget that if you want to contribute an idea just let me know and I will give you access to share your thoughts."

Verifiable allows users to upload, mash and visualize data. Verifiable just launched earlier this year and has fewer publicly available data sets, but it does offer greater flexibility on how the data is styled and presented. Graphic designers will appreciate the ability to change and tweak the presentation and add details like custom labels and shading. Verifiable is free to use if you keep your charts public, but also has a inexpensive pricing plan for those who want to keep their work private.\n
