Two quick great websites I came across today that deserve more than a tweet. Jewel Beat: Check it out…some great sounds, songs, and effects. All royalty free and all they ask is you link back to their website. Great resource for student videos, podcasts, and use in projects. EmbedPlus: Take YouTube videos to the next level. Just copy and paste […]
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.

Watched this video from Michael Wesch today….suggest you do the same.
Last week the Ed Tech team here at my school held a 3 hour social networking workshop for parents.

Anything that you can offer in terms of support for our argument […]

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 […]
When we talk about content on the web never dieing, here is a perfect example. One of my student’s videos on Firefox that was made back in September has become pretty popular of late. In the last two weeks we’ve seen the views go from 200 to 1,095. So far the commenters have be positive about the video giving her […]
