FAQs

If you have any questions about ISEnet, please post them as comments below, and we will add the answers here.

Q:I have two different accounts on this network. Can I combine them into one account?
A:Unfortunately there is not a way to combine two accounts on this network into one. You can, however, delete one of the accounts. If you don’t know the password for one of your two accounts there is a “Forgot Your Password” link on the sign-in screen (below the “Sign In” button.) If you log in with the account (email address) that you want to delete, and then click the “Leave Independent School Educators network” link on the bottom of the “My Settings” page, this will delete that account. The details are on this ning help page. Please let us know if you need any further assistance with this issue.

Q: What is the purpose of this ISEnet ning?
A: To provide a place for educators and students to safely explore a social-educational network to discuss topics of interest, and to share videos, podcasts, blogs, etc.

Q: What is a blog and do I have one here?
A:Each person on this site has the option to add blog posts. They will appear on the top left of the "Main" page, and will also be on your profile page. You can specify who can see them (anyone, just members, or just colleagues.) We also encourage you to find, read, and subscribe to bloggers who interest you. Some of our favorites are: David Warlick, Will Richardson, & Ewan McIntosh. Also check out the blogs by principals and heads of schools.

Q:What is "podcasting" and can I do it here?
A:Podcasting is the creation of audio files and the posting of them on a website to which people can subscribe. Ning allows you to upload or embed audio files, but if you are new to podcasting, it is simplest to use a site like MyPodcast to record and host your audio files, and then if you want to, you can link to them from here.

Have not read it, Michael, but all reviews sound like it's appropriate for 8th grade at least; maybe advanced 7th grade readers. It seems like there are a lot of layers to this book, some of which may require some frontloading discussions or activ...

I liked Geraldine Fabrikant's 11/7 NYT article, Prep Schools Face Cuts in Student Aid, but to me it is not the most compelling story of the intersection between independent schools and the struggling US economy. To me the most compelling story is...

Let's share the titles of books our kids are currently enjoying. What books won't they put down? Any suggestions for readers in grades 6, 7 or 8?

Joe, I watched the video last night. My reading of his talk is that Cowen is just cautioning us to be aware of how much our minds are wired to fit -often inaccurately- the inputs we are getting from the world into stories. In a nutshell, we need t...

What do we need to do in order to better equip our students to become true leaders in a "flat world" that has both exciting opportunities and challenges at every turn?

Thanks to the power of the internet, a colleague from Cal Poly State just informed me of the solution for this issue... if you set the resolution of your PowerPoint to 1024x768 (under the Slide Show tab on the PowerPoint ribbon), the issue is fix...
