Just a Little Testing

1 hour ago by dougpete

It’s a Sunday morning and I’m just lazying around before the house wakes up and so decided to try something that I’ve wanted to try for some time. I’ve been playing and testing Google Wave since I got my invites and it’s amazing how much functionality appears from day to day. In my mind, though, the ...

New Media Applied to Classic Content

1 day ago by dougpete

Yesterday, @danikabarker sent out a Twitter message asking people for ideas for poetry related to ghosts and the supernatural.

Into the Clouds

4 days ago by dougpete

As I continue my exploration with the new Ubuntu 9.10 OS, I run across an icon entitled Ubuntu One. The name is intriguing and also is the icon itself. There’s a little cloud attached to it. Clouds intrigue me so I decide to check out Ubuntu One. It is indeed taking me into the clouds. In fact, Ubun ...

Real Time Support

7 days ago by dougpete

Until this point, I had no idea what a Taylor guitar was. Now, I certainly do. At the OTF Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century ev ...

Expanded

8 days ago by dougpete

As I head into Day 2 of the OTF “ Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century” session, I thought that I would take a look back at what happened about nine months ago at the first time that Ontario educators got together to learn together about the use of Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom. I had m ...

Like old friends

9 days ago by dougpete

When @bruceetes asked if I would assist at the Ontario Teachers’ Federation event this weekend, I agreed immediately. The event is a follow up to last February’s “Expanding Our Boundaries” event. The focus is on social networking for education and personal professional development. It really wasn’t ...

Hallowe’en Week

13 days ago by dougpete

Today kicks off the week leading towards Hallowe’en. This week and next shows the effects of chocolate and the wrappings that it comes from in the classroom. It’s amazing to find the places where rolled up candy wrappers end up as the contents are eaten when the teacher’s back is turned! One of my t ...

Social Media Counter

16 days ago by dougpete

Nothing is as impressive as a visual. On his blog, Gary Hayes has a “live social media” counter. The live version won’t embed here in WordPress so I embedded it in a page on my wiki site. Something to think about. Powered by ScribeFire.
