Page Museum - Megafauna Mystery

Our research from the field trip is almost done. The kids are editing a variety of documents and I expect to finish next week.

I have uploaded the files from student's cameras and posted the photos at our Picasaweb site.

Some of their group writing work is on posted on unkelwiki

Other students are using power point or word documents to edit and we will make them available at the Classroom group. I have not been able to get them all G-mail accounts yet.

One enterprising group has recorded a podcast


This is really fun for them and I wish you could see my class.

They are on fire.

The audio file plays with IE explorer and not with Firefox. I am trying to set the feed using feedburner.

You are leading the way! Keep up the great work! I checked out the wiki and it seems like a great example of group collaboration!

Read Write Web - The Malachite Maze

I have come to the end of my class on the Read/Write web. We've covered a lot of topics in the last six weeks and I feel that I have barely scrached the surface. Everywhere I turn there is another curve or whirl that draws me hither or yon. I don't mind though. It is like the surface of my desk at school. It looks a mess but I can usually find what I'm looking for. I am excited about the possibilities of merging my math, science, and elective curriculum with new media tools. They offer greater possibilites for content, exploration, and expression for both my students and myself. I have enjoyed publishing a web page , blog, and several groups . I subscribed to a social network , news aggregator , and several other organizations that can assist me with content, grants, and other help. Will I continue to blog. You bet!!!

My real challenge is to make the tools work for me and figure out how to teach others to take and adapt what works for them More to follow.
