The Tech Link: July 2011
http://thetechlink.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts, questions, and observations on technology in and for education. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. A closer community with Facebook? The way I see this working (and it will most likely change to be a bit easier than my stream-of-consiousness take on things) is that each school administrator in an attendance area needs to have two things set in place:. 1) They need to have a personal Facebook page. 2) They need to have a Facebook Page set up for their own school. This brings me to the point of the Communit...

The Tech Link: Facebook, a School-Year Later
http://thetechlink.blogspot.com/2012/05/facebook-school-year-later.html
Thoughts, questions, and observations on technology in and for education. Monday, May 28, 2012. Facebook, a School-Year Later. So overall its been a highly positive experience. The communication between our school and the community has opened wider and it gives us the opportunity to quickly relay what has been going on behind our doors. If you're toying with the idea of a school or classroom pages, I would highly recommend it. May 30, 2012 at 1:18 PM. May 31, 2012 at 8:21 AM. June 16, 2012 at 9:28 AM.

Thoughts, questions, and observations on technology in and for education. Sunday, June 10, 2012. IDentical iPods: Getting Ready for Next School-Year. So the problem still exists: how do we get 30 iPods to look identical? Its actually not a big problem, though the solution is time consuming. Basically, it involves setting one iPod exactly like you want the rest to look like, syncing it to your laptop, letting it backup, then restoring every other iPod to that backup. Here are the steps:. 8) When iTunes co...

Thoughts, questions, and observations on technology in and for education. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Author Cards/Podcast - Tech/LA Project Ideas. This week in a Technology in Language Arts class I'm taking, we developed an Author Trading Card: a brief bio and reflection using Word or another publisher (I used Pages for mine - does graphics a little more simply). After that was complete we crafted persuasive podcasts on the same author. I chose Mo Willems of "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" fame. Angel...
