Wow! Smart just announced its new product, the Smart Table, last week. I had an email yesterday stating that they will have one in their booth at GaETC next week. I am anxious to see this new technology. The pricetag is a little steep – ~$8000…..

Carole King has long been a favorite of mine, but I couldn’t believe it when I found this video last night…Carole singing with Celine, Paula, and Shania! Wow, what a find. I don’t know how I had missed this!

I absolutely love the TED Talks. This video is Carmen Agra Deedy spinning a story about her Cuban mother. For some reason I am unable to embed this video. This is the URL.

Instead of a video today, I want to share an article in Educause, co-authored by Bryan Alexander and Alan Levine, CogDogBlog, and creator of 50 Ways to Tell a Story. You can find the article here. They have also created a wiki and are asking for your input! So, ladies, go to the wiki and help them out. The wiki will be open during the month of November.

Gotta love Alan Levine……….Enjoy! Jerrie

This video is a speech that a young boy by the name of Dalton Sherman gives to 20,000 educators at the Dallas ISD on the opening day of school for teachers. There’s been a lot of controversy over this video in blog postings, etc.

This interview by Dean Shareski (Ideas and Thoughts blog - I have had him in my Reader for years) with a grade one teacher illustrates how even the youngest students can take advantage of social software such as blogs, wikis and podcast to share learning and exchange ideas with the world. Kathy Cassidy of Moose Jaw, SK provides insights into her classroom. I’m sure some of you have seen Kathy’s blog and wikis.

With the onset of Wikis next week in our online course and the election coming up in about ten days, I give you Nixon and Kennedy on Blogs vs. Wikis…….

Testing, testing….

Follow-up to the Last Lecture.

This is so funny!!!!

Gotta’ love David Pogue…..Did any of you hear him last year at GaETC? If you haven’t watched and listened to any of the TED Talks, you have missed some awesome presentations……

This seems appropriate for the start of our third session which is RSS and Aggregators. Enjoy.

Many of you, I am sure, have seen the original video; however, this one is in English.

Funny video by David Lee King, a former media specialist. David just left a comment to let me know he was NOT a former MS. Sorry about that…..My bad!

Enjoy!!!!! H.O.T.S.
