Voicethread

I do love this site.  You are able to upload pictures, video or even a worksheet, then once you create a free account (by the way, educators get a free Pro account!  Saves you $60!!!) you can leave a comment next to the picture (I will call what you upload a picture from here on [...]

NECC 2008

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Looking forward to my first National Conference. I was trying to find a good way to use a Voicethread together so people could respond to the schedule and talk about what workshops/seminars they were going to. Then I realized that will be difficult with the INCREDIBLE number of things being offered. How [...]

Voicethread

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Well, anyone who knows me, knows I was floored with Voicethread.com from the first moment I saw it. Almost as much as Twitter!
Rick Weinberg showed Voicethread to a Tech Connect group he was working with back in December, and I couldn’t join and upload photos fast enough! [...]

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Sitting in my office after the long weekend and a morning meeting that helped me get refocused on our Tech offerings for next year. At CA BOCES (Professional Development), we offer Tech Connect trainings to area schools in Cattaraugus & Allegany Counties in Western New York. Schools who did not participate in [...]

Struggling to get back into blogging.

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Did I blog before?  SURE…..well, I used to post things for my math students, and have them leave comments, but the more I think back about it….it was mostly extra credit, wasn’t it?
I have had a few blogs on Blooger, but after a short hiatus on this blog, I’ve tried to get back on track…..then [...]

Another great day in Randolph

Friday, May 16th, 2008

After a LONG week, it was nice to be able to go out to Randolph and work with some great teachers who look to implement technology in their classroom IF it helps improve student learning.  We started the day looking at a voicethread I set up after getting some screencasts from their sites.  These teachers [...]

In case

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Not sure if anyone ever checks this, and I wouldn’t blame them if they didn’t.  I don’t update this everyday.  However, thought I’d get a few things out there.  My parents did make it back from Florida and my wonderful wife, Jennifer, had their house looking INCREDIBLE!  It was a quick weekend of cleaning for [...]

One week….

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Well, so much for posting every day on this blog!  After surving my fishing trip, this week has been eaten up by a few items.  Here are some of them.
After meetings on Monday, A Tech Connect in Hinsdale where we looked at Voicethread, Animoto and a few other items.  Meeting with my supervisor for goals and [...]

Voicethread and Animoto with family pics (again)…..

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Getting ready for our Division Day and using Moodle with other BOCES staff, I tried to whip together a Voicethread and let Thomas make some comments….I know, I know, I need to get new pictures (I use the same ones for everything).

I’m also using Animoto more and more…..Man, those guys are nice.  They are starting [...]
