After our discussion regarding what we will do at MCHS everyone created a wiki or a blog. Please take a minute to share your website address so we can share ideas and thoughts. Visit one anothers sites for some ideas and make suggestions to everyone. Use the space for comments to do this.

According to Wikipedia, "A podcast is a series of audio or video digital media files which are distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers." (I will leave the links to Wikipedia for the identified terms as the definition of the podcast is directly from their website.) The term podcast has stuck to the video or audio

Creating, Publishing, and Using Images Online as stated in Will Richardson's Book "is becoming more and more accessible every day. This chapter is related to Flickr although there are many different sites that can be used for this purpose. Flickr allows users to post images up to 100MB per month. Flickr sends a message to new users that states the following:You can use Flickr to:Organize your

The Social Web and Learning Together, what does this mean? Well in an abbreviated definition it is the way many people utilize the Internet. This can be considered a mass team effort project. Consider Wikipedia and sites where people from all over the world can contribute definitions, personal experiences, basic and advanced information. This is an extreme example of educational teamwork.The next

RSS or Real Simple Syndication - What? OK so we have another acronym in education and technology. I don't think there are enough acronyms in education or technology. All joking aside, if you are an educator then RSS feeds are definitely something you should be aware of. In a simple explanation RSS allows the educator to create something like an online newspaper with only information they want to

Wikis - What are they, how do they work, are they reliable sources of information and how can they be used in schools? Not to long ago the word wiki wasn't known by many people. Now many people have heard the term but many still do not know what it is. In a much simplified definition, a wiki is a website where people can participate in creating an online encyclopedia of sorts. An encyclopedia???

The use of Weblogs is increasing in schools as the technology becomes more available in education. I found the information regarding the use of Weblogs as a tool to highlight and share best practices interesting. Related to this is the idea of using the weblog as a building block for school web pages. If you click on the title of this Chapter 2 unit you can link to our school website to see what

In Will Richardsons book, "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms", Chapter 1 is about the Read/Write Web. As the use of the internet continues to change, more educators are learning how to utilize the resources for classes. As schools ask educators to step out of their comfort zones and try new and challenging things with their students, the need for training

With the number of our students using the internet what should we be doing as educators to help them make responsible choices? There are many websites available to students to help them realize what responsibilities they should choose and how to stay safe. One of my favorite sites is i-SAFE. It provides many resources that are free to educators and children. Check it out by clicking on the title

The technology use in schools is ever increasing. It seems like just when you think, "Wow, I can't believe they have this ability to do this in a school!", there is something new that comes out. The use of technology in schools goes far beyond what most people think. The typical thing most people think of when technology is mentioned is a computer. Many people think of a student typing a paper or
