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’ve been really busy lately, but having a night like we had last night makes it all worth it. Last night was our first of four Shanghai LAN parties around the K12online conference. We had some great food that my Ayi (Maid) made for us, drinks, and just plain fun! This podcast is our discussion about David Warlick’s keynote for […]
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 […]
I went through the other day and found some new podcasts for my 1 hour bus rides to and from school everyday. I came across the Cranky Geeks podcast by John C. Dvorak. I listened to episode 31 on the bus ride home yesterday and was fascinated that here sat some of the geekiest guys in the business and they […]

So here you go Mid August Mid September First of October End of October Can you believe it? In just over two months time it went […]
I’m looking for some help here. Our High School department has 20 laptops and they don’t know what they can do with them. I have ideas, but nothing concrete of how these laptops can “Affect student learning beyond word processing and Internet research.” We’re talking all levels of high school. From geometry to IB Calculus. I have a meeting with […]
Once in awhile mix up the order of your RSS feeds. What ever RSS reader you use, take some time to mix them up. I went to add a feed to my netvibes page today only to find out I already had the feed. It was way down at the bottom of my page where I hardly ever make it. […]
I’ve been waiting for this comment and I want to thank Scott Meech who left this comment on my post about using the Google teachable momment. How do you use YouTube with so much inappropriate content on there? A great question and one that I’ve been waiting to answer. First, I need to point out that I am not in […]
Another one from Justin Medved in Bangkok. (Dude, get a blog 🙂 ) There is nothing new with this tool other than it’s new. This layout for teaching persuasive writing has been around for awhile, but here is a cool new way to do it that will engage students in a new and maybe ‘cooler’ way. Is this doing the […]
