I honestly had to turn my computer back on to write this post - I’d already signed off, made my popcorn, and was ready to settle in for some reading before going to bed, but just had to get this post out of my head! Yup, I’m THAT person.
Anyway, the last blog post I read [...]

I’m trying yet another of the Twitter Tools that are a perk of being an Edublogs Supporter. A post will be created daily with all of my tweets for the day. Now, at first I was hesitant of this for the same reason I haven’t yet done a daily del.icio.us blog post - it’s just [...]

UPDATE
Frank alerted me to the fact that when he tried registering his blog it actually asked him for his blog login information. Something happened between the time I registered this blog and he tried doing his, as this did NOT happen to me when I registered Reflection 2.0. When I just tried registering a classroom [...]

Just a thought inspired by @metaweb20 on twitter this morning - as more and more of the popular web tool sites are experiencing downtime and outages or loss of data (examples: twitter, voicethread, edublogs, wikispaces)…….how much should we rely on these services for the bulk of our work? I believe wholeheartedly in opensource, freeware, and [...]

Just wanted to mention some new things on Reflection 2.0 that you would NOT know about if you are reading this in an aggregator or email!
I just added a LinkedIn button on my sidebar that brings you to my LinkedIn profile

I just received my print edition of NEA Today and the cover story was “Digital Divide: Mind the Gap“. I immediately read the article and sent out a tweet about the online version.

Rookie mistakes - live and learn. That’s the story of my day! I started out with my wiki project this morning and quickly encountered a MAJOR problem that I should have been aware of. No excuses, I should have researched this more fully before embarking on the project. I had the entire class (in 9 groups) [...]

Just a note about the wikispaces handout I created for my 6th graders to use as they work through using and adding links to the 6th Grade Research wiki. The handout describes how to log in to a wikispaces wiki, navigate pages, edit a page, and add a hyperlink. You can view it here: 6th [...]

While working with my 6th grade students in keyboarding class, I’ve been struggling with how to introduce the how-to lessons for blogs and wikis.
