PA Educators Professional Learning Network

If you are a PA educator, I invite you to join the new PA Educator Ning Network at http://paeducators.ning.com . Currently there are 191 members, which is great, but it would be more beneficial if we could get hundreds or thousands of teachers to join this network. We can build capacity through our connections and collaborations across the state. Imagine what we can do together without anyone directing us. The network is for all of us! We can connect, share and build! The potential is limitless! Join if you are interested in building a professional learning network where you can find and even add events from around the state. If you are reading this from another state or country, you too can create a network at ning for your educators. If you are looking for a network of educators to make connections I would suggest Classroom 2.0. Over 20,000 members world-wide active members post and share all of the time. Network creator Steve Hargadon, is one of the best education advocates around!!

This has to be one of the best sites for finding quality lectures and information. Top lectures from thousands of lectures from the world's top scholars! Amazing, join and create playlists and favorites. This is a must see! http://academicearth.org/

Researching Collaborative Sites

Just doing some research and trying to find a way where students can collaborate and work together on projects. Now we know that Google docs is an option and students can collaborate with documents whatnot. But I really like Zoho Notebook. Zoho Notebook allows for audio and video embedding in the actual online page and then allows for playback and sharing. It's so much more than a conventional notebook.  You have to see this resource for yourself!  It's a must use!

WiiMotes in School!!! Great Low cost option for IWB

I just got finished configuring my Wii remote and my laptop computer with the bluetooth connection and found out that it was extremely easy to do to create a instant interactive white board device with the Wii remote and infrared beam that actually detects a signal and allows you to create any wall space on. The board or wallspace then becomes an interactive device. It's really easy you have to try it go to wiiremoteproject.com and read the instructions and watch the video tutorial and give it a shot. $45 and plus maybe $7 charge for an IR device. Pretty cheap pretty inexpensive when it comes to purchasing something really inexpensive to hang on your wall. Check it out.
