You've raised some really interesting ideas. One concern though is how to keep this focused, and not spreading so that everything is involved.

Using Social Media for Design - A Personal Example

Hi All,
As I think I've posted previously, I have a building toy idea (http://www.quirky.com/ideations/82529) that is making its way through the potential product process at Quirky. http://www.quirky.com/
If you or your students are interested in building toys, design as a social process, or you're just curious, please consider checking out the design…

They are currently looking for some input about how to market the building toy. Any input from ISEneters using the link below would be much appreciated.

Shrink the bottled water industry - a great project for indy schools

The Story of Bottled Water http://bit.ly/9ULcP7
If congress can pass health care reform legislation, maybe we can get bottled water banned from our schools... and in the process help heal the world a little and educate our students about the moral vacuum of modern unregulated corporate capitalism.

Thanks for the welcome! I might start up a blog or discussion forum on this site...some interesting things happening, or on the verge of happening, at MLC re: technology.

- check that request, Fred. I just found it...using Google Search instead of the Ning's search: http://isenet.ning.com/forum/topics/capturing-writing-to-video
This is GREAT. It is exactly what a teacher of ours would like to do.

- Fred, I remember a really cool schematic that you posted for a tripod-like device to hold a flip camera for doing screen-cast like instructional videos. I've been digging around on the ISEN Ning and am unable to unearth it. Do you have a link??
Thanks,
Matt

- Hi,
Yes, of course I know Barbara. In fact, I was planning to email her and our PD colleagues (who get together every year at NAIS) to let them know about this network because we've been talking about starting one of our own. What we do in California that is somewhat like what you do is this. We sponsor two programs annually which alternate regions in alternate years. For instance, the Regional Meeting is in the South this year. This is a one day gathering of 2000+ teachers and middle level administrators who come together at one of our K-12 schools to present and attend workshops (in three sessions) that are put on largely by other CAIS teachers. One of the 14 subject/grade level areas is Technology. Additionally, we bring in a Featured Speaker who presents in all three sessions. This year that speaker will be Rob Evans.
What is happening in the North this year is what we call the Professional Days. A half-to-full day workshop in each of the same 14 categories is planned and hosted by members of the Professional Services Committee in the region. This year the tech person on our Northern Professional Services Committee is hosting a day on the use of the SmartBoard. While use is becoming more and more widespread in our schools there is still a gap in knowledge re: how to use it effectively in the majority of our schools and teachers.

- Hi, Fred, I'm just now getting around to looking at Ning and its educational use. Two of my language teachers plan to use it for their teaching this year. Believe it or not, I was introduced to it first by the Jr. High School that I worked at in New Orleans at least 20 years ago. It was destroyed during Katrina and they have established a ning to reconnect.
