What's new and exciting in your classroom and school? Well, relatively new and exciting as most US schools are on summer break!
I'm looking to refresh some presentations/workshops and am interested in telling stories related to the compelling things going on in my PLN's classrooms. Please share any relevant links, too!
These topics are of particular interest:
- anything related to PBL supported by technology
- mobile learning with any sort of device
- bring your own device programs
- Android or iOS apps related to global collaboration/awareness
- Using iOS devices to differentiate instruction
- social networks in schools (Not many schools seem to be going in this direction, but are you building a social network for your students to use in house or have you purchased a solution? Or, are you leveraging Facebook instead? Anything related to using SNs for educational purposes would be interesting.)
Some of the above relates to my work with the Consortium for School Networking on a mobile learning initiative and to a iTunes U global guide I'm developing with ADE colleagues. The rest are related to workshops I'll be giving in August... I'll be sure to share everything when I'm ready.
Thanks in advance!

VoiceThread Mobile for Apple® iDevices
VoiceThread bridges the gap between real-time discussions and static multi-media slideshows, making it the platform for on-demand teaching, learning, training, and collaborating. We are working with the lofty goal of true accessibility so that any "door" used to access VoiceThread is equally effective for your means of participation.
"We want to serve the needs of a person with dyslexia or ADHD, an outdoor classroom with mobile devices, a user in the developing world without high-speed internet, a kindergartner, or an elderly lifelong learner." (Read more)
With that goal in mind, we'll be releasing a Mobile App this fall for the iPad®/iPhone®/iPod touch® that will provide the same experience of creating and collaborating around your content on your Mobile device that you would experience in the web-based application... and we're pretty excited about that!
Take a look, and tell us what you think.

Cool App To Share Your Favorite Ipad Apps
"Today while browsing @tonyvincent ‘s blog I noticed a cool tool that he was using to share his favorite IOS apps. Appsfire is a place for you to create a list of your favorite apps as well as find other apps that you may like. Appsfire also allows you to “Follow” a search term for updates in the future. You can also limit your search to free only apps. Another great feature of the site is the ability to share your “Device” on social networks. You can also add your device to your blog."

Final day of the Apple Distinguished Educator Institute... My group has plans to publish a series of epub documents in ITunes U to help educators incorporate global collaborative projects into their teaching repertoires. We had to present our plan to our esteemed ADE colleagues, and of course this makes me incredibly nervous!!!
Anyway, this is what I intended to say ... It's a good thing I didn't read this word for word, or else our time allotment would have bee completely used up! Thanks to the amazing people on my team, Helen, Gayle, Julene, Deanna, Rita, and Ann!
Becoming an ADE opened up a world of possibilities to me, and the 2006 Institute where we traveled to Europe was a particular catalyst for me as well as some of my fellow group members. I discovered that it's never been easier to connect our classrooms via technology and that we need to help educators leverage these technologies effectively.
The 2006 trip led me to start an online network around global collaboration, and I co-founded an online conference dedicated to this topic last year. During this journey, I've come to realize that our kids are facing complex problems requiring solutions from across borders. Networked learning leads to networked problem solving... We must help kids do this so they are prepared for their futures.
Our project comes from our beliefs around the importance of global education and our goal is to provide a comprehensive set of resources to help teachers connect globally. We have four ePub resources planned so far: a guide to global collaboration, a directory of people and projects, resources for using iOS devices to promote global awareness and a resource toolkit complete with rubrics, templates and an annotated bibliography.
Let us show you what we have planned!
Stay tuned.... Hopefully, this all this will be online in October!!
