nuggets on ISEnet ning

Hello ISED listers,

The ISEnet ning http://isenet.ning.com/ is nearing the 600 mark today.
It's been interesting to watch it grow and see what is "sticky" about it
and what is not. There are some recent nuggets I'd like to mention in
case you haven't been on the site for awhile, so I hope you'll forgive
me for pushing these links to you. I've shortened the URLs since long
ones break.

I love the question that this video brings up for me
http://tinyurl.com/2j34bc which is, "How does our classroom change when
our students are more "published" than we are." =20

Math teachers- check out this video (mentioned today by David Warlick)
for a fascinating algorithm to solve multiplication problems:
http://tinyurl.com/3yaxq3 that uses intersecting lines.=20

Join Susan's online professional development opportunity for Virginia
area schools: http://tinyurl.com/3drhjs that will be led by Will
Richardson & Sheryl Nussbaum Beach. Wow!

Add to a photo stream http://tinyurl.com/2rl93d of our office spaces
started by Bill.=20

Is your storage room of technology equipment http://tinyurl.com/373yl8
as organized as Chris's?=20

What would you add to James's list of things http://tinyurl.com/2wjno7
you can accomplish with Windows scripts?=20

Check out the PowerPoint files http://tinyurl.com/ytwrpp that Jamie
posted in the Internet Safety group. What other files could we be
sharing, and building together, so that we don't all have to reinvent
the wheel?

By the way, there's also a new NAIS ning http://naisnet.ning.com/ that
will be used (among other things) to support discussion around the
annual conference.

Thanks everyone for making this an interesting place to exchange videos,
ideas, comments, files, and more, and thanks Fred and Jamie for helping
facilitate. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions for improving
the nings,
Demetri
