About Me
I am interested in how teachers are using Internet 2.O tools and plan to write my dissertation around the use of these tools by training teachers at the elementary school that I have been assigned to as a tech specialist. What is interesting to me is how one goes about training teachers on the use of these tools and how it applies to literacy skills in all areas.

    Hi Peggy,

    With your interest in Web 2.0 tools, 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.

    You know, a few teachers have mentioned that! We're going to see how this SAT/ACT vocab thing goes first then maybe expand in that direction

    Hey Peggy

    Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!

    That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.

    Do you mind passing my message along to your HS colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
