    ...I also noticed your kayak picture immediately and thought, hey!, this guy is all right! :) I lived in New Hampshire for a few years and loved your neck of the woods a lot (went down I-91 to see friends in NYC), nice area! Have a great day!

    Hi Matthew,

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

    Matthew, I went to Umass (class of 95). I graduated with a degree in German/History. I really enjoyed my time there -- I have fond memories of hiking along those lovely trails, and visiting Emily Dickenson's house. I also lived in Northampton, too.

    My husband and I recently stayed at a bed and breakfast there a year ago. It was great -- just as beautiful, and laid-back as we remembered. NYC gets pretty chaotic.

    Hi Matt! Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to make sure MA students get the chance to be involved. Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Matthew- thanks for the invite. I'm new to this site and eager to see how other teachers are using technology. I'm a high school science teacher in South Korea. I'm currently very interested in learning more about teaching in on-line teaching.

  • David Wilmot

    Thanks Matthew. I coached baseball at private schools from 2002-2006 but after having a child and going public school I don't have time to now.

    I'll check out your site. I have an Activ board that I don't use because I haven't had the time to teach myself. What do you think of that tool for middle school math teaching? Should I bother learning. Is there a quick way to learn -training book?-what I need to make it a classroom asset?

    Thanks for the invite. I teach elementary school physical education and am always looking for ways to bring technology into the gym, and ways to use technology to show what my students are doing in class. I am eager to look at you website.

    Thanks for the invite Matthew. I converse with you at a later time. Paddling a regatta race tomorrow and need to get some sleep.

  • Miri Sumida

    Thank you... the race was great... could have done better, but overall... just great! I begin a summer physical education program (Fitness for Life) for 9th graders on Monday. This will be the first partial on-line/classroom/gym program offered for one credit (total of 14 days). Can you believe it?

    Hi Matt,
    I'm an ESOL teacher-and am currently taking a technology class (called G21 technology). The goal of this class is to learn how to integrate technology into our classrooms. I pull ESOL students in our county (goochland, VA) and don't have self contained classes. So, using technology is a must! I'll definitely check out your website for ideas on how to use technology with my ESOL students. Let me know if you have any innovative ideas too:)
    Take care, Renae
