Great email, Matt. Thanks for sharing. Working on a blog post about the conference now.
No worries. I skim, and miss most type-os. Plus most of my writing contain lots of type-o's anyway. :-)
Yep, Tuesdays at 2 is the time.
Amazing how this thread piked up a year after it was first Posted.
We're going to have a show on using Twitter as a communications tool on Tuesday 10/27 at 2:00pm EST at http://edtechtalk.com/live. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Roxbury Latin has done a great job of following many different Independent Schools who are twittering: http://twitter.com/roxburylatin

Frank Adsit said… - Hi Alex,
I read about the EdTalk session that you have scheduled for this Thursday and want to encourage some of our dept chairs to attend the session.
Can you provide me with any kind of content framework that you are envisioning for the session? I know that will be the first question that I hear back from the chairs and I'd like to give them something to think about to get them involved.
thanks
Frank

hope you feel better soon. I also felt lousy about 3 hours into winter vacation. I think stites is right- Body realizes it has permission to take a break. Drinking a ton of celestial seasonings tea is helping rehydrate me. I recommend it! -d

Hope things have settled down for you some, and that you have some easy time this summer.
Iffy net connection where I am, but I'll be listening as soon as I get a better one.
Cheers!

Thanks for your input! We have a liberal filtering policy which only blocks, porn, gambling and hate sites. My teachers have been upset because they do not want to be the Facebook "police". We set up a disciplinary OU that restricts access to any fu…
We don't block facebook at our school. I actually just did a history research paper with my students where they created Facebook fan pages for early 19th century reformers. Anyway, during class, when kids are using their computers, I circle around t…

Is anyone using, have used, or have any opinions on the HP tablets?
I have a copy of their white paper on online gaming and how it actually improves a student's understanding of civics.
Nice way to sum it up, Joseph. I enjoyed the exchange here. I agree w/you on cars in my comment above, but the way. Cars certainly allow us to go places and do things that simply are not possible without them (kinda like the Internet I suppose). My…
Hey Beth,
We don't block facebook and other social networking sites. For the most part, this works for us. It doesn't mean our students aren't off task periodically, but I wouldn't point to facebook/social networks as the reasons for off task behavi…
Your slideshow is great---to the point! I may be using part of it---thanks!
How are our discussions about safety on the internet evolving as students (and adults) become increasingly connected through social networking and other means? Have we changed our tone, and how?
