So I am working on my report since I have returned from my little trip. I have been thinking and reflecting about this experience and trying to catch up with all my reading and listening about NECC, which I missed. While jumping over to Will Richardson's blog to do some reading I happened upon a post that related to the One Laptop Per Child project, which you can download a Live CD of. Reading a

How do we start talking about Web 2.0 in our classrooms?Will Richardson (www.weblogg-ed.com)Will Richardson started with a journalism class. He found that it changed the nature of how he approached teaching in the classroom. He blogged that we are halfway there towards really using these tools. What we need now is better understand the pedagogy that goes along with the tools.How open are we in

Harrow there has been much interest inusing GPS in our area, so I decided to attend a session on Geotrekking and Geocaching with GPSr to build Integrated literacies. Tim Pelton gave a solid overview of GPS and Geocaching. He even mentioned a phrase they use to notify other cachers of Muggles (those that don't know of geocaching) that are about...

Just some thoughts on the opening of NECC 2007...First, while I (Brian) enjoyed the keynote, I'm felt as though Andy Zolli was preaching to the choir. Okay, I know we don't know it all and he was entertaining (I chuckled more than a few times), but I wonder if his message would be better served at the ASCD conference.Some points I did like from Andy's address were that all we will have left, as

Well last week Alan November came to one of our schools to speak on Learning Communities and how technology can help facilitate these communities. A few things that came up during this time were things that we have heard about in the past.One item that came up more than once was the Digital Divide which is something that I thought was quite important. Though Alan didn't speak directly to this I

The Adventures of Datagirl is a podcast project from WSWHE BOCES... a good example of the use of podcasting for educators!

Today's Multimedia meeting began with a discussion around the use of audiobooks and mp3 players. Discussion centered around services and equipment that are available. Services such as Audible.com, Overdrive(as used by the New York Public Library), and self-playing digital audiobooks.

Call it corny, but I think the title of this post is appropriate for our goal. Since our meeting last Friday, I have been reading through the comments on School 2.0 that took place (and are taking place as a matter of fact). There are some interesting and wisdom filled notes in the comments and I encourage you all to read them through and think about where your district/school is currently,

The concepts of Web 2.0 continue to infiltrate our lives and schools, now how will these things begin to affect the school of tomorrow? We'd like to start a conversation that talks about where we are and where we are going. The concept of School 2.0 was created by a group brought together by the Department of Education. There are some basic concepts that underline what the school of tomorrow

When I Become a TeacherAfter presenting this video to a group of teachers there were many requests for links to the video. Unfortunately, many districts completely block sites like YouTube.com.

As with any community it is important to share resources. It is always good the to let the right hand know what the left hand is doing, so to speak. In sharing out district initiatives, connections can be made between districts, schools and teachers that are working to achieve similar goals. I mean, who of you really wants to "re-invent the wheel"?Please share your thoughts and comments about

At the beginning of this school year we ran across an interesting Power Point and we wanted to share it with you. It is a great way to share with people some of the main ideas authors like Thomas Friedman have been talking about over the past year. This Power Point really struck some of the people we shared it with here at BOCES. We thought that sharing it with this group would be beneficial,

Over the past few years the price of USB thumb drives have dropped dramatically. Now you can have 4 gigabytes on a thumb drive, older computers use to have this as their entire drive. So how does it apply to education? Students and teacher now can have applications that are available to them on a thumb drive. Everything from web browsers to operating systems can now fit on these drives. One

I just viewed on CNN.com a video story about how Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has launched an Internet blog. It's pretty interesting to think that such a high ranking leader (or his employees) would start a blog and poll readers on whether the United States' or Britain's interaction in the Middle East are instigating World War III. Interestingly, the story reports that the poll was

I'm currently trying out blogging apps for my handhelds (Windows Mobile & PalmOS). I am currently posting using AvantBlog an application that allows you to post to a Blogger account. I have 4 blogs to choose from in my blogger account (some I have created, others I have been invited to post to). My interest is mainly how students can post to blogs from a handheld computer without being "

I have been getting more and more into reading news and blogs over traditional print media for several months. I have set my Firefox browser homepages (yep, you can have two) to bring up Google Reader and my Bloglines account as my virtual newspaper.I am, admittedly, behind in my reading my feeds from Bloglines. However, this is due to my use of my Dell Axim handheld. I've been playing with a

This Friday, March 3rd, Mark Lohr from Apple will be presenting on the instructional use of iPods in education. ITS Community members are invited to attend this presentation from 1:00 -3:00 PM at the BOCES Technology Services building located at 11 Linden Park. I'm not sure about you all, but we have been getting questions about how to use iPods at an increasing rate over the past few months.

I recently learned about an event at RIT that looks at wikis. The presentation is called "WWW/ Wiki Wacky Web?: Wikis, Authority and the Public Sphere" and thought some of you might be interested in attending. There is also another interesting speaker coming to RIT who will be talking about creative commons. Here is more information and an explanation of creative commons!

We have been working on a way to share resources that the ITS Community is creating in isolation within their district. We are using wiki software to create a place to share our combined knowledge for use by teachers and educators within our districts. At this time we are in the pilot phase of this project.We would like all of you to create an account and help us create this resource for all of

The teacher centers across New York State have been working with the New York Institute of Technology's Educational Enterprise Zone (NYIT-EEZ) on creating a NYS specific Marco Polo site. The video that we are showing will give you a general overview of the service that this provides. We also would like to give you some time to look at the site and see what is available to teachers.
