Wesley Fryer was the keynote speaker at the KATE 2009 Conference this past week. It was refreshing and gratifying to hear a educational technology expert inspire a room full of English teachers to incorporate new technologies into their instruction…
Final products can be visual. Writing assignments don't always have to end up in a typed essay. They can be a film, a podcast, a collage, etc.
Powerpoints are today's wide ruled paper.
Just received the answer from our district. I am going to pilot a Moodle application on Keys to School. It is a free application and you can have up to 250 users on your Moodle app. Since it is free, I'm sure that space will be limited. In fact, one…
SCKWP has a static web page that points to our wiki and our ning. We use our ning as our primary communication tool.
If you are on Twitter, shoot your Edmodo suggestions to @Zemote. He is one of the co-founders and is more than happy to answer questions or discuss issues.
You should seriously consider Moodle if you want a strong foundation for a paperless classro…
You know, through hosts like SiteGround, you can have as many Moodles you want for about $5 a month. That is affordable enough for any site. If you need support, there are plenty of forums and such that will provide that to a willing and needing ind…
Moodle rocks. If you are not able to install it on your server, just go grab a free room at Moodle Rooms. Our entire virtual high school is based on Moodle. Most of the school districts in TX who are venturing into the VHS realm have chosen Moodle a…
SCKWP utilized gmail and google docs with collaborative pieces this year. We also moved beyond power point into pechakuchas.
With only 4 weeks I didn't have time to demonstrate digital storytelling. Perhaps in Advanced Institute or a Tech Saturday?
Is anyone using Google Sites or Edmodo for online instruction? I just learned about Edmodo this evening and it will work for my online class but everything posts to one page, leading to mass disorganization and lost assignments I fear. Perhaps I hav…
I've used both Moodle and Ning in my classroom, and will probably stick with Moodle for the future. Although I really like Ning, Moodle offers a more secure environment, especially where students are concerned. Moodle allows you to monitor student c…
Our district will soon crank up Moodle. Our district decided to lease a server for $15 a month and our webmaster has/will be loading Moodle to this server. This has been a good move for us. I can tell you more in the fall. Since our IT department is…
This is tricky, isn't it?
And the permission factor makes it trickier than it should be. (again, we head back to "access" issue).
My guess is that you may have to cobble together a few different apps, which is less than ideal.
I don't have any sugge…
SCKWP uses the ning for everything except our anthology. I would love to use the ning, but my district won't allow it because it is a "social network"
I have a similar question. Currently the EKUWP has been told that our Moodle server space may be closed later this summer. We have been a Moodle site for 3 years now but might move to Ning if it works for us. We use our page for everything: emails,…
I just received word that our district license for Blackboard is on the chopping block forcing me to use an alternative course management system (free) for my paperless classroom. I am considering Moodle, except that it wiill need to be loaded on a…

Came across the website Net Cetera which includes a link to a .pdf guide for adults on chatting with kids about being online. Though the document is not a tool for classroom instruction, I see it as a potentially valuable resource for educators who…
