Paperwork Reduction – One Step Toward Campus 2.0 »

As mentioned in previous posts, I worked this summer on reconfiguring my office to be a paperless environment. The work on the office is now complete, and I am already receiving a favorable response from staff. One of the first things they comment on is the new overall appearance of the office itself. All file cabinets and my desk have been removed, creating a space that is more of a conversation area than traditional office.…

blogging/podcasting = lecturing in a new format?

A good buddy of mine is a prodigous podcaster. He's also very involved in this network. He's also one of my favorite mentors in the W2.0 world. He's shared all sorts of ideas and fueled fires for not only my my thinking, but also for my students. Recently, he's asked me to begin a podcast. I've got a podcast going for my students to show their… Continue

Can We Increase the Wisdom of the Crowd?

One of the key principles of Web 2.0 is that through widespread collaboration and mass participation, the “wisdom of the crowds” emerges. Think Wikipedia’s self correcting

Getting Back to School

Well, we are almost ready to get back into the swing of things. In our district, all three of our buildings are under construction and we have already had to change the start date of school.

I am looking forward to this school year. I will not be responsible for teaching a 7th…

Social Networking Experiment for Middle School

I would like to experiment with using a social network for middle school language arts. Since I am in the early stages of this sort of thing, I welcome any tips and advice. Here are my preliminary thoughts:





1. Right now, I think that my biggest hurdle will be to sell the idea to my principal, the other LA teachers and parents.



2. I need to articulate a clear purpose for this project.



3. Of course, I will also need to figure out expectations and…
