We?ll convene on Ustream, and will be joined by Heather Chirtea of ToolFactory. Among other topics I?m sure we?ll discuss ToolFactory?s Flip Video Mobile Lab and Podcasting Mobile Lab.

I?ve been feeling a bit off-colour the past couple of days, so apols for the lack of decent posting. If anything?s going to raise my spirits it?s the prospect of a sodding great whale and a huge robot both turning up in the city. It?s like Power Rangers or something. The former comes courtesy of Claudia Losi?s Balena Project as presented by Ikon Gallery (and previously alluded to). A 25ft cashmere whale will be deposited by the escalators in The Mailbox from 24 Sept to 26 Oct. This is what VoiceThread a security threat?
Emily Vickery in Alabama reports via a tweet that her IT department is telling her VoiceThread ?is a security threat because it searches for open ports to use.? That is a new one for me. I can understand IT departments blocking peer-to-peer file sharing software programs which search for open ports, but a digital storytelling application like VoiceThread? P2P programs certainly can bring a wealth of windows-based malware onto your network, but I?ve never heard of anyone downloading or obtaining Catchup on sleep now, because the Streamathon is coming!
Here at Discovery Education, people are doing daily calisthenics, stocking up on coffee and preparing I.V.?s full of Red Bull. And that can only mean one thing? The third annual Discovery Education streamathon is coming!This year?s streamathon features presentations by all your favorite members of the DEN team, from Hall Davidson to Lance Rougeux, and each of our expert DEN Account Managers. They?ll be sharing a series of information-packed sessions on how to integrate the newest online tech What does teaching and learning 2.0 look like
In his follow-up presentation / facilitated conversation after his keynote at BLC08, Ewan McIntosh asserted that no single image or video can represent what the new era of teaching and learning looks like. I agree there are multiple ways of thinking about blended learning and what an ideal learning environment in the 21st century can and should look like. I also agree with Ewan?s point that as educators we need to teach, facilitate, and lead in the ways we believe are best for learners and lear Helping students tell different kinds of stories via video
A while back I did a post about having students create ?how to? videos for your school using the Common Craft model of simple illustrations with an informative voiceover. This is a very common GenYES student project, with students creating videos about how to use the technology found in their own school. Now Common Craft has posted a blog showing their behind the scenes process of planning, shooting, and editing their latest video ? Electing a US President. This is a terrific post for a numbe e-engage your community conference
If you?ve arrived here after attending the e-engage your community conference in Wellington we hope you found our digital storytelling workshop useful. Feel free to leave any feedback here. Don?t forget to visit the digital storytelling course and we look forward to you sharing your stories with us. Brief Review of Webb and Rozema?s ?Literature and the Web?
Earlier this summer, Allen Webb and Robert Rozema published their text through Heinemann, Literature and the Web: Reading and Responding with New Technologies. I received a copy as a gift, and just got a chance to read it over Labor Day. Besides thanking the two of them for mentioning my blog in the book, I also want to compliment them on the way that they approach the task of teaching with technology. The text makes the idea of using technology very approachable because they maintain a cons New Series on Bible to begin in Worship
September 7 ? February 22: The Essentials ? Packing our Biblical Backpack Every hiker knows you don?t go out into the wilderness, even for a day, without the ?essentials? ? map, compass, first-aid kit, fire-starter, etc. In the same way, we can ask, ?What are the essential biblical stories or passages that today?s Christian travelers need to know, or carry in their ?biblical backpack?? Through the course of the fall and winter, we will look at 18 passages that cover the basic biblical stor CILT video case studies now live!
Today the five video case studies from the CILT project on effective use ICT went live on the Languages-ICT website. Themes include podcasting, whiteboards, digital storytelling, self-authoring interactive exercises and word-processing and are definitely worth checking out. You may recognise some long-haired loon banging on about the educational value of podcasting. Wonder who that could be! 20 new Students + 13 waiting
The semester has begun and i have 20 new students with an additional 13 on the wait-list for my Working in Virtual Worlds course. As their first assignment i had them all create a one-minute video introducing themselves to the class. They had to use pictures, a soundtrack, a voiceover and post the final video on youtube. The class started last Thursday so they had all weekend to work on it, the project was due yesterday (tuesday). 18 out of 19 students completed the project without a problem, o Darfur Issues highlighted via a student-created Southpark style video
I learned about the following student-created Southpark parody video today entitled ?Genocide: Lost in Translation? from Joyce Valenza. This is a great example of a transformative, creative work which arguably meets US fair use copyright provisions because of its transformative nature. Take a few minutes to watch the video, it is just 3 minutes long. Isn?t it amazing how many issues the student is able to communicate and highlight in just 180 seconds? I like how the student used a green ribb
