Hi there,<br />
<br />
Hi there - just joined Classroom 2.0 and am excited about the possibilities! I've been an apple 1:1 teacher for three years - and love using their products. If you're interested, I've got a blog where I'm sharing how I use tech to support rich Inquiry Project. For example, I just completed a post about using garageband to record self-assessments. Please come check it out: <a href="http://thinkinginmind.blogspot.com/">http://thinkinginmind.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
Thanks!

Hi Celia,<br />
<br />
So interesting but not surprising that bullying is more prevalent that predators. I teach my 5th-7th grade students about how to be safe online and we touch upon both topics. I think I'll be delving deeper into bullying with them now.<br />

This software is extremely easy to use and the kids love creating their projects using all of the applications. I am amazed at what they come up with and the motivation to research a topic, organize it into an iMovie presentation and present to their classmates is unprecedented. If you need some help getting started, there are video tutorials for all of the applications on Apple's web site. Unfortunately, my district does not have nor will even consider Macs for our schools (long story) I have…

Great ideas Chris! How do you handle privacy issues with the students. For example, do they use their names? What about images of the kids? Are the websites and especially your blogs open to the public?<br />
<br />
My school is gripped with fear about these issues. How do you strike a balance b/t protecting their privacy and engaging in web 2.0/iLife activities?<br />

I teach 8th grade US History and utilize the same programs. I have taught my students how to use Garage Band for podcast (most of them like the idea of being able to produce) that are published on a weekly basis about our topic of study. The podcast then are uploaded to my various classroom blogs <a href="http://cmiraglia.edublogs.org">http://cmiraglia.edublogs.org</a> so that students can review. iPhoto is used to download images for presentations and iMovie is used to produce history…

For example, this next week my students will be creating a iMovie about what they feel is the most important amendment in the Bill of Rights or out of the 27 amendments. Last year my students created web sites that related to the topic of slavery. For each of these applications it is important to guide the students through the applications first, then let them experiment. The students are usually quick to learn.<br />

I am also a mother (6 yr old girl, 7 mo. old baby boy) as well as a former music teacher, and now a credentialed elementary classroom teacher who has been employed as a K-8 school librarian for the last 5 years in Los Angeles.

Well, I hope to :) I'm am yet to start my teaching career but when I do I hope I have the privileged of working in a school that has the resources for me to do so.<br />
<br />
I have used Pages, Keynote and Numbers during my education (BA - English Lit. and Grad. Dip Ed.). I love using these programs because they are so intuitive - I don't ever think, "well that was hard" or "couldn't they of made that easier?" - everything just seems to come together. I also made a rather complex marks/grading template…

Thank you, we can't even go to the shops without someone telling him how gorgeous he is... his Nannie (MiL) tells him constantly that he is "so advanced" :)
