Yesterday I, along with about 10 other educators from my school, went to the first Apple seminar for international schools held here in Shanghai. Apple has sent a team here to “break into the international school market in Asia.” They are based in Beijing but travel around Asia promoting their products and what they can offer to schools who are […]
I wrote a blog entry over at techlearning yesterday called New ways to communicate talking about some of the new ways technology can impact learning in school. Wednesday I had a chance to try some distance learning out on my own. I work on two difference campuses that are, by taxi, about 2 hours apart. I’ve picked up a class […]
There’s been some talk around groups in the blogosphere. Some really good discussion happening over on Bud the Teacher’s blog. David Jakes had a great post as well. What’s got me thinking about groups is it’s the US that makes this place powerful not the YOU. Does Time Magazine have it wrong? The YOU, to me, is the people that […]
As my wife and I contemplate moving on this is one concern I have. While in Saudi I was on 28.8 dial up…on a good day. That is part of the reason I feel like last year was such an eye opener for me. Having pages that actually load is a concept I love….I really don’t want to end up […]

Friday was that day (Maybe because I was wearing jeans) I had three great classes on Friday. In my […]
I’ve been playing with Firefox 2.0 today. What a great upgrade to an already great program. Of course what makes Firefox so great are the free extensions and how you can create the perfect browser to fit your needs. Here is a list of extensions I’ve added that I think are must haves for any blogger. Delicious Bookmarks: Love the […]
I was sent this link from my friend Reece Lennon in Dubai. In the e-mail he simple writes: With all your talk of online communities and a flatting world, I figured you’d be interested in this. Very cool. I think the video’s description says it all: The World’s First Web Band have found each other on YouTube. They only know […]
Ms. Novak who is part of the Discovery Educator Abroad network stopped by our school this week for a visit. I got a chance to sit and talk with her and we were able to record a podcast for Pudong Nerve Central. Read all about Ms. Novak’s travels through China at her Discovery Educator’s blog, and listen to our podcast […]
