Finished Dan in Real Life. Lovely family/romantic comedy. Comes close to veering into cuteness but the performances keep it grounded.
| Updated school blogs to latest version of WordPress MU. Took 2 hours, went flawlessly. |
|
| @dschmit I think it has to be nurtured and encouraged. If students are producing things that won't be read or heard by anyone, it won't work |
|
| @dschmit Yes, I think it can. It's like it completes the circuit, information comes in and now there's a way for it to get out. |
|
| Good news: After a lot of troubleshooting, I was able to get my school's blogs running on the new version of WordPress MU! |
|
| Going to try to restore my school's Wordpress blogs from a backup database. For testing purposes, in anticipation of moving to new version. |
|
| While I talked about Pages, another teacher discussed what she learned about doing student blogs. Worth reading: http://tinyurl.com/3fbyg2 |
|
| Gave three 45-minute presentations on Pages today - showing teachers how they could use it, especially the Page Layout mode. |
|
| We had the third grade students comment on fourth graders' blogs and then write if they wanted one of their own: http://tinyurl.com/424tjm |

| @coolcatteacher Thanks for tipping me off to the Comment Challenge. http://tinyurl.com/6z3r2o What a great idea! |
|
| How can we expect teachers to use new tools when they can be yanked away (seemingly) so arbitrarily? |
|
| I've discovered my school district has started blogging pbwiki and wikispaces. No reason given. No notice given. |
|
| @markwagner About your presentations workshop - maybe you could show this video http://tinyurl.com/2g75b9 Discovered it on @wfryer 's blog |
|
| Watched Into the Wild last night. Very true to the book. Glad they didn't try to add contrived conflict to try to keep viewer's attention. |
|
| Facing another day of administering a state test. *yawn* |
|
| @chuckjoiner I was listening to your MacVoices show about the ATV Flash. It sounds great! Have you tried that device yourself? |
|
| Fascinating article: http://tinyurl.com/5ygy4l Do manipulatives in math make a difference? The study the article cites says no. |
|
| Great new web service I've been checking out: www.drop.io. Online file storage. Very easy. Might be a good alternative to USB pen drives. |
|
| Been working on an Animoto for our campus teacher of the year. Wow, does Animoto demand a lot of photos or what? http://tinyurl.com/5obp4b |

| What's more depressing in the U.S. Democratic Presidential race: That it's gone so negative or that the public keeps being persuaded by it? |
