One Bad Twitter ‘Tweet’ Can Cost you 30 Students
Nov 29th
Well….maybe not yet, but in the coming year if you are a private or international school you better be monitoring and using these new social tools to engage new students and families.
A Bloomberg report came out earlier this week titled: One Bad Twitter ‘Tweet’ Can Cost 30 Customers, Survey Shows.
A negative review or comment on the Twitter, Facebook or Youtube Web sites can lose companies as many as 30 customers, according to a survey by Convergys Corp.

Social Networking Workshop for Parents
Feb 11th
Last week the Ed Tech team here at my school held a 3 hour social networking workshop for parents. The workshop was requested by parents after we made a brief presentation to the school board back in November.
Before we began we took a quick poll of the 20 parents (all mothers):
- Non had a Facebook account but a couple of them had heard about it.
- Non had been on YouTube but they all had heard about it.
- What did they want to know: How to see what their kids were doing on the computer without them knowing about it.
In the 3 hours we covered the More >

If students had the choice…
Mar 23rd
It’s the day before Spring Break and so it’s relaxed here in the computer lab today. The student’s spent the first half of the period reading and commenting on student blogs from around the world. The second half I’ve allowed them ‘free time’ to explore and do a little research.
- A student found this video which is now slowly working it’s way around the room. (Could this be used in Science?)
- 3 girls are discussing the layout of their blog
- 1 boy is playing a flash game
- 2 boys are talking, and trying to figure out how to beat a different More >
Firewall vs Adminwall
Mar 3rd
On my posting the other day about our school setting up a YouTube account Jeff Dungan left the following comment:
…any tips you can give me to take to my administration/board since they are not receptive to the idea of allowing this to be unblocked/used at our school? Anything that you can offer in terms of support for our argument why we should be able to access it aside from the obvious would be fantastic.
Getting through the Adminwall is a lot harder then through a firewall, but not impossible. How do you get Admin to buy in, to recognize the opportunity these tools More >

How do you embed video on a drupal site?
Dec 8th
Looking for a little help. We’re trying to embed YouTube videos on teentek.com. Anyone know how to do this? Thought is was as easy as copy and pasting the code, but that doesn’t seem to be working. The best part is the students just keep saying:
“It works that way on xanga.com, you just Ctrl C, Ctrl V the code and it works.”
I’ve looked all over the web it looks like it should just work. The administrator downloaded a video module and installed it, but there aren’t any setting that he can find that explains how to use it.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
