Coming soon to a blog near you...

After a relatively short period of time, this morning we passed 2,800 page views from 40 different countries, with our most recent view coming from Macedonia.  How cool is that?  Reaching out on a global scale to share ideas and experiences is what this venture has been all about.  This, my first blogging experience, has served to reinforce my belief that we need to be doing more of this sort of thing with our students.

Our pilot teachers have started using Kidblog (kidblog.org/) with their kids.  While being used internally with our teachers and fourth and fifth graders, we are moving in the right direction.  They will be sharing some their experiences in upcoming posts.  The website is easy to set up, as well as to manage.  I encourage you to check it out.

I am still trying to post James’s 10 second Kakooma video, but I’m running into formatting issues.  I hope to have it posted soon.

As our school year winds down, we are pulling together our first year data from our IPod Touch Pilot.  Look for that to be posted in the coming weeks.

Finally, we will be hosting a poster session at the ISTE conference in Philadelphia later this month.  We will be sharing our pilot experiences and hope to make even more connections with folks doing similar work.  If you are planning to attend, please stop by and hang out with us for a while.
