Hi Bonnie and Tech Team Members: Thanks for linking to my post on comics — Rick amd Mitch are doing some great work on that for RCWP. It looks like you had a great meeting yesterday and I am glad to know that you are using Comic Life in your work. Good luck planning the [...]

Hey GEEK!ED! Crew, You mentioned that you are looking for programs that are doing Chinese in one of your recent podcasts — there is one right up the road from you in Lansing that is being created in collaboration with MSU. Check it out at: http://postoak.lansingschools.net/chinese.html

… then this group of students exemplifies what community can be. Brian Crosby and his students have begun video conferencing with a homebound student using a laptop with a web cam and Skype. Just today, I was talking with a group of academic advisers about how they could connect with their students via Skype, and [...]

The link to this video, “Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us” has been the hit of the day on a number of listservs that I am on. Watch it, and you will see why.

Who would have thought that merely a few months into using a tool like Writely the screen shot that I turned into a banner would be so [...]

Steve asks, “can you think of any examples of representations of “scientific method” in popular media?” I am not often on the look out for this, let alone watching TV, so I am sure that there are some examples that are embedded in shows other than CSI that have implications for you.

Hi Chris, I just wanted to touch base with you about your Teach with Tech podcast. I have been listening for a few months and I appreciate how you discuss new technologies and contextualize them in K-12 and higher ed applications. Just a quick comment on your Opera segment from last month. I have been [...]
