It's Coming Soon

Yes, back to school, is approaching quickly. I am excited to begin the new year because I have lots of fun projects scheduled for all of you. Are you ready?

My buddy, Jan Wells, tweeted about Chogger while she was attending Podstock in Witchita, Kansas. I decided to spend a couple of minutes playing with this comic creator. You select what kind of comic panel you want to use. Images can be imported directly from Google images, drawn, taken with your webcam, or uploaded from your files. I created the above comic in less than 4 minutes.

How would you use this site in your classroom?

Are You Ready?

I'm having a tough time getting ready to go back to school this year. After thirty-two years I'm scared! "Why? " you might ask. "You should be able to teach your classes with your eyes closed," you might add.

Well , my eyes have been opened wide this summer thanks to the conference I attended in San Antonio (NECC) and the inservice I completed locally (INTECH 21S). I have spent my summer learning as much as I could about the amazing tools we will be using this year. There is so-o-o much to learn! I hope I'm ready.

Blogs, wikis, podcasts, Skpye, global communication, eportfolios, epals, vodcasts, digital storytelling, Photo Story 3, Garageband. Are you ready to join me?

Let me know what you know about Web 2.0.

3. Do you have an iPod or MP3 player?
