Hi Gail,
Great time on Wednesday night. Here's another place to connect.

Hi Gail - Great to be connected again! Also enjoyed hearing you on Wesley Fryer's podcast he used for Mac World last January.

And we'll meet in real time in Massachusetts soon, no?:-)

HI Gail,

I've been reading your posts on the NWP list and feel like I know you too. Our tech mini-grant is really giving a shot in the arm to our writing project. It is helping to create additional tech leaders and that is just what we needed!

Gail, nice to "meet you!" I'm overjoyed to be part of a community dedicated to transforming teaching and learning.

Take care,
Miguel

Hi Gail,
So nice to be adventuring in cyberspace with you! Glad you have enjoyed "The Raven." Finding and listening to that resource was a real turning point for me in understanding the power of audio recording. I'm having way too much fun with it! :-)

Hi Gail, I´m using both! ConvertTube seams a little bit easier to use.
I´ve created the screencast with "screencast-o-matic" (Sorry for my bad English)
Cheers:)
Hans

Thanks for the tutorial, Hans! I'll venture into ConvertTube today.

I don't know if the post below posted on Blogwalker--here it is again. I really enjoy reading your blog but many times it is painfully slow to load--is that an edublogs issue?

Here is my post--Gail, I don't know what TOR is, but sure go ahead and showcase Guardians of Freedom. We did another primary source project this past spring call CSI:Cemetery Scene Investigation http://connections.smsd.org/csi. It was fun but didn't have the human interest of the veterans project (since all the participants were dead!!) Let me know if you write about our projects. Thanks, N.

Nice to meet you and glad that you will be exploring using Diigo in your class. Please keep me informed of how things go and let me know if I can be of any help.

Best, M

Hi Gail,
Just saw your invite for a conversation about Reinventing PBL. Would love to join--but Jane is on the road today. Any chance we could do this interview next week instead?
Let me know if that works for you (suzie@learninginnovation.org).
Thanks,
Suzie

Hi Suzie,

Thanks for the speedy reply. Let me get with Paul Allison, who organizes the program, and see if next week would work. I've recommended the book for National Writing Project summer institutes, so it would be great if the teacher leaders could meet online with either you or Jane!

Great--and thanks so much for the recommendation to NWP institutues. A fabulous network for thinking about PBL, collaboration, and technology. We'd love to talk with teacher leaders. Just let us know what works with your schedule.

I've forwarded your reply to Paul Allison.

Hi,

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 Marco Morales; 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. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, 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, 2008, 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 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,

Marco Morales

Hi Gail. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hope all is well at your end of the world ... been hearing lots of news. I'm enjoying things - life is good here ... you are always welcome to call or write. You know where to find me! - RJ

I found an old post of yours from '07 about hosting a local Web 2.0 Teacher Academy. I know it's been a while but I wondered if it came to be? Was it the same as the cr2.0 workshops?
