there is NO url that does it all
I think a lot of us are looking for the magic software that does it all
great thing about the internet is when a need is seen some one create slot for it
etc...
and I AM GETTING OVERWHELMED
in this format I/we have seen tons of products that all do different things
I have to continually put check if product sticks to the wall.
Can I use if in classroom for a real EDUCATIONAL value
Not... use it for sake of using it

- Blogs filled need for journal on web
- iTunes filled need for music and content access for mobile device

Attempting an audio post. Listen at your own risk.
I had an hour and a half drive home last night without the benefit of a carpool buddy. It was late, I was tired, and I decided to "audio blog" my thoughts. Sorry to inflict, but if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it here. :) This may be a bit of a rehash of some of the conversations during our strand time, but this is what happens when my brain reflects on the day (and posts without substantive editing). Part 2 to follow eventually.
Crawl . . . Walk . . . Run
That's how most of us learn . . . one step at a time and all in our own way. That's what we know as educators about our students, and that's what we need to remember while interacting with our peers. If you haven't already viewed the YouTube video on the new technology, "The Book," please do because it is a great reminder of where we all once were. It is so exciting to learn when you feel good about it.
Our Fearless Leader
Meet our Fearless Leader Tim. Uber Tim. The man, the myth, the soon to be legend.
