ISTE 2010- PaperShow for Teachers

In about a week's time I will be heading to Mile High City to participate in what I consider to be one of the most exciting educational technology conferences in the United States. I have been fortunate to be able to attend the ISTE conferences over the past couple years and am looking forward to attending ISTE 2010 which is being held in Denver this year. I will be helping out at the PaperShow Booth as they launch PaperShow for Teachers, a new and exciting presentation tool for the classroom. I have been using PaperShow for the last year or so in my classroom and it is exciting to see the product evolve. PaperShow has allowed me the flexibility...

iThoughtsHD- Mind Mapping for the iPad

Two weeks ago I went out and purchased an Apple iPad to see what all the excitement was about. I have to say it is a very seductive device and one that is hard to put down. I am enamored by its potential as a tool for some of the students that I work with who have writing, reading and organizational difficulties. The iPad is very fast at doing almost anything you want it to do (except play Flash media) and the battery life is really incredible.Over the last couple of weeks I have investigated and bought many productivity apps to get an idea of how the iPad could be used as complimentary device to all of the other computers in my household. As...

World Cup and Social Media

On the way to the cabin tonight I heard this story twice: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127840329Why is that interesting? Because it talks about how the World Cup fever is putting pressure on the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, etc.  So why is THAT interesting? Because I've been trying to send a tweet for the past 30 minutes and it's been too busy - exactly what the article said might happen.Give it a list...

A job well done

OK. It's finished. I finally have the entire web saved as bookmarks in my Diigo account. They're all nicely tagged - even if, perhaps, I've got multiple versions of the same tag. (google earth, googleearth, and google_earth) At least all the sites (up to today) are properly bookmarked. There will no doubt be new sites to bookmark tomorrow. (A teacher's work is never done.)Yes, I'm being facetious, but stay with me here. I've been eagerly and proudly, and even dutifully finding new websites that do one thing or another, and I've been saving them in my Diigo account. That's just what you do, y' know. But, since I don't have a class of students...

Ted Talk Tuesdays - revisited

A few days ago I wrote about how a gifted teacher was planning already for next year and how she was going to have Ted Talk Tuesday lunches for her gifted students, etc. I made up the Tuesday part. I have no idea if she's going to have it on Tuesdays or not. But, I've been thinking about it and about how that very good idea could be ramped up a bit.At first I thought, "After they've watched a few videos and get the hang of it, allow THEM to choose the next one to watch. They would have to introduce it to the others and also tell about the speaker. And they'd have to tell why that video was chosen." Then I thought, "No good, because they'd have...

Establish a Culture of Learning With the Faculty

Among the members of your faculty are folks who are currently taking Graduate courses, some even for a Doctoral degree. They are reading current literature on topics ranging from classroom management to school law to technology and resiliency. You also have teachers who are just simply fascinated with technology and the impact it can have on teaching and learning. Still others are reading for pleasure. The sad part is that, in most schools at least, there is nothing in place to help those teachers share what they're learning.Think about this a minute. What if there was a way to easily share their learning with the rest of the faculty? And, what...

Pengolahan Sinyal Digital : Sampling, Quantizing, Encoding

Pada dasarnya semua suara audio, baik vokal maupun bunyi tertentu merupakan suatu bentukan dari getaran. Ini menandakan semua audio memiliki bentuk gelombangnya masing-masing. Umumnya bentukan gelombangnya disebut dengan sinyal analog. Sinyal analog adalah sinyal yang bentuknya seperti pada . Namun sebuah teknik memungkinkan sinyal ini diubah dan diproses sehingga menjadi lebih baik. Teknik ini memungkinkan perubahan sinyal analog menjadi bit-bit digital. Teknik itu disebut teknik sampling. Jika telah menjadi sinyal digital maka sinyal ini jauh lebih baik, sedikit noisenya dan juga dapat diproses / ditransmisikan dengan mudah.Proses samplingPada...

MindMeister Releases Mind Mapping Extention for Google Wave

While I haven't spent enough time using Google Wave to cast my opinion, several of the mind mapping companies are finding it fertile ground to release extensions that add a collaborative mind mapping application that runs inside of the threaded discussion. Today I learned that MindMeister released their Google Wave mind mapping extension that adds the ability to create a simple mind map within a threaded discussion. To the left is a screenshot of the MindMeister within a Google Wave discussion. Granted the features are limited but it is just the beginning for this platfo...

I LOVE this idea for using TED in school

Recently, a friend who teaches (soon to retire) in Central York school district in PA, emailed me to tell me about how her Gifted teacher is going to be using TED videos with her students next year.The teacher will have a weekly Ted Talk Luncheon with the Gifted students. They will bring their lunches to her room and they'll watch a Ted Talk video and discuss it. Now, with so many of the talks being 20 minutes long their discussions can't be very in depth, so I'm betting that she'll set up a Discussion Forum for them to use, as well.Isn't that a great idea? I love it! Wouldn't it be great if, say, the AP Physics teacher and the Earth Science teacher, and the Social Studies teacher would also do something like this? There are plenty of great videos for each discipline, and they could always...

Going One-to-One? Something to consider FIRST

Recently I've been hearing of districts that have either already gone one-to-one or who are in the midst of the planning stages for it. Very exciting news for the students and teachers in those districts, to be sure, and certainly not a decision to be taken lightly, no matter HOW much money your district has.But, in the cases I've heard there was one very important piece missing from the discussion. There was a lot of talk about what kind of laptop to purchase. Mac or Windows? Laptop or netbook - or even, now, the ipads?There was plenty of consideration given to the network's infrastructure and whether or not it could handle the demands of having...

Beyond the mouse-driven computer interface

A comment in a recent post about a writing prompt idea expressed concern that we're inviting students to take a stand on a topic. I hadn't thought of that before. Perhaps writing prompts should be more neutral. Interesting enough to encourage discussion but not so controversial or volatile in nature as to create sides. We've certainly got enough of that in too many places in this world.So, with that in mind I'll share this recent TED video that shows a new kind of computer interface. Certainly this will interest the techie kinds of students, but others may find this idea having applications in other areas of life, from medicine to entertainment.Check this out. No mouse. No keyboard. Instead, a gloved hand. Beyond the immediate and perhaps obvious uses for this kind of system, what other areas...

How to Organize Your Message / Email into Folder by Yahoo Mail Filter

Electronic mail, most commonly abbreviated email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages. E-mail systems are based on a store-and-forward model in which e-mail server computer systems accept, forward, deliver and store messages on behalf of users, who only need to connect to the e-mail infrastructure, typically an e-mail server, with a network-enabled device for the duration of message submission or retrieval. Originally, e-mail was always transmitted directly from one user's device to another's; nowadays this is rarely the case.An electronic mail message consists of two components, the message header, and the message body, which...
