Podcasts

National Public Radio
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_directory.php

The Education Podcast Network
http://epnweb.org/


Learning Hand
http://learninginhand.com/podcasting/

The above are really good websites to listen to podcasts. "The Education Podcast Network" and "National Public Radio" would be very helpful for all grade levels. "Learning Hand" seemed like it would be more helpful for teachers teaching younger grades. "The Education Podcast Network" had a really good podcast that a school in Germany had put together describing their school etc.

Wikispace - Prepare for the PPLT

Check out my Wikispace for tips on how to pass the PPLT. http://ciah96.wikispaces.com

How might teachers use social bookmarking in the classroom?

I think that it would be beneficial to the teacher to use social bookmarking for their selves to be able to continuously collaborate with other educational professionals. As for students, I do not think that it would be very helpful since all the students would have a facebook etc... account. The only way that I can think of that a teacher could use this strategy in the class would be a lesson on cultural geography and the students could bookmark students from other countries.

Google Doc.

Will everyone please fill out the document for me.

Wikipedia change

I made the following change to a Wikipedia article. I added:

"It was after this incident that a fence was added to kept future spectators from interfering with potential outs. The "curse" of the goat was realized once more."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Cubs#2003:_5_more_outs


I wonder how long it will stay?
