Hey! You're our 100th signup. :) Just thought you'd like to know. Hurrah!

Oh, congrats on being 100th!

OK, it's not everyone that gets quoted on David Warlick's blog... :) Did you see it? http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/2007/04/07/starting-to-get-it/

Funny how you seem to be our "milestone" member. #100, and now this. Ha!

Yeah...I figure it's my 15 minutes of "fame"!

It's still day one for me. Once I have time to sit down and actually dig deep into this tool, I'll let you know! I think it is a great adult, professional myspace..haha

Cary,
I really enjoyed the speaker yedterday. Last night I was a lurker on several sites. So much to learn and so little time.

I would love to be a friend! I am so excited about Classroom 2.0. Will has left me so excited...now I just have to figure everything out.

Have a great week!

Hi Cary
Loved Will. Trying some new things this weekend--working on a skype account with my son in Italy--reading the info you sent out on RSS. I will send you info on my forum by the end of the week for your comments before I start if with student if that is okay with you? Have a great week. Karen

Oh my gosh! Will was amazing! I now need 40 hours in a day to try and do it all! I have heard some negative comments, but I believe people just need to open their minds!!

Hi there!

Will really WAS amazing!

Having fun experimenting with classroom 2.0. This really does seem like the wave of the future. What a great way to exchange resources without "reinventing the wheel." Connecting students globally is very empowering. Students put forth their best effort when they are composing for their peers.

Happy Holidays!
Beth

Me too! But, I have to tell you, this stuff is addicting!

I know! OK, seriously, I may need to join Ning's Anonymous!

Actually, instead of an intervention, can the tribe do an efficiency intervention so I can learn how to juggle all of these sites?

Hi Cary,

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'connecting content and technology' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Alyshia Olsen

Hi Cary!
I just checked my Ning account and found you online. I have no idea what to do with that piece of information, but thought it was neat!

Hi Cary,

With your work in Instructional Technology at your District, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
