2¢ Worth

OK, this is a pretty scary picture.  But I had fun taking the pictures with PhotoBooth on my new MacBook and then using Photoshop Elements to combine them.

Yesterday, I wrote about social networks, and rather harshly claimed that I just don’t get it.  Well maybe that just doesn’t matter.  I talked about how children need […]

I’m just echoing an announcement that Doug Johnson posted earlier this month.
SIGMS Forum: The Changing Landscape of 21st Century School Information Centers
Tuesday, 6/26/2007, 10:30am–12:30pm
The SIGMS forum will feature a discussion about the changing landscape of the 21st century school information center led […]

This is what I feel like sometimes.  I’m one of the little yellow dots.

Ok!  First! Understand that these comments come from someone, who probably just doesn’t get it yet.  There has been a flurry over the past couple of weeks to set up social networks for education 2.0 issues, using a social networking tool called […]

I have been thinking about doing this for a while, adding a polling feature to 2¢ Worth.  Commenting is hard and time consuming, but taking a quick survey may be a better way to get people’s feelings about an issue.
A perfect issue came up this morning, with a link through EduTopia to this NYTimes article […]

I love Christine Hunewell’s lead up to this blog posting (A Blogger as a Writer), that she’s had it in draft form since last fall.  She hauls it out periodically and works on it some more, and then slides it back away for more reflection.  Christine goes on to write…
Newfound Technocalities:
Usually I post late in […]

The first thing that pops up on my aggregator this morning are some comments from Patti, at Tech and Teaching for High School.  I must confess that I was a bit overcome by the excitement over the keynote that I did for the K12Online conference.  It was very much off-the-cuff, and the concept of side […]

Let’s say that your school administration and board of director/education have just given you free reign to re-purpose and restructure your school library. They’ve latched on to the Library 2.0 movement as an opportunity to reinvent that room in the middle of the school.
I have three questions:

What do you eject?

What do you add?

..and […]

Cherrie sent me this news story about two teenage girls, who discovered during a high school science project that GlaxoSmithKline’s advertized claims about the Vitamin C contents of one of their products was not correct.  The company brushed them off, and is now sorry that they did!

I love receiving these e-mails.  It speaks to me as much as any research statistics.
Just wanted to let you know that Broadview students were selected as the “Best Showcase” for middle schools at our system’s Tech Fest tonight.  That’s notable since our students are usually not very competitive in academic areas.
Their project began as a […]

I’m finally at home — and for nearly a week.  I suspect it will take about that long to get caught up on e-mail.  Not much else to say except that I had a wonderful time, touring the Fredericton Farmers Market yesterday morning with Jeff Whipple and his wife, Tracey, and then an uneventful couple […]
