Hi,

Sorry for the delay!

Re: Technology Professional Development

This may be a stupid idea (I'm full of 'em), but wouldn't it be great to
start a Moodle class specifically for teachers and technology? I mean, you
could invite 20 of the folks on this list to be collaborators, and my bet is
over the course of a couple of years, you'd have an excellent curriculum for
teachers. Get a list of schools to buy in, and member schools could rotate
through hosting it, and any teacher from those schools could sign up for the
year or semester.

You could develop intro, intermediate and advanced classes, etc. (NO AP! ;
))

Just a thought. Call it a mid-summer's daydream.

In peace,

Hi Everyone,=20
We are in the process of designing a math club for our 3-5th graders. At
this point, it's slated to occur once a week for about 60-90 minutes.
If you have such an after-school activity, I'd love to find out more

Thanks, and happy summer!

We have been offering adult education classes in various formats for 3
years now. Topics have included varying levels of Outlook, Excel, Word,
and PowerPoint. We have also offered basic computer use classes as well
as a class on how to maintain your home computer. In addition we also
give a number of classes on operation specific software such as Senior
Systems and Blackboard. I survey the community for feedback as to the
topics they would like to have covered. These classes have been very
successful and we have noticed a significant decrease in helpdesk calls.
These classes are offered to faculty and staff. They are taught by
members of the Department of Technology. We tend to front load the
offerings at the beginning of the school year. Our goal is a couple of

Best Ideas/EdTechTeacher.org

Fellow ISED colleagues:
I am leaving Noble and Greenough School after 10 great years to pursue
educational technology consulting opportunities. I plan to remain active
on the ISED list, but my new email will be thomasdaccord@gmail.com.

My departure coincides with the publication of my second book, Best Ideas
for Teaching with Technology: A Practical Guide for Teachers, By Teachers.
Co-authored by Justin Reich, Best Ideas for Teaching with Technology: A
Practical Guide for Teachers, By Teachers introduces and explains -- in a
clear and accessible manner -- powerful educational tools and strategies
that teachers can apply immediately to their own teaching. In the book we
show teachers how to use technology to empower students to do creative and
meaningful work and develop essential skills. Alan November comments that
Best Ideas for Teaching with Technology: A Practical Guide for Teachers,
By Teachers "is an extremely valuable resource for teachers hoping to
realize the tremendous opportunities that technology offers for powerful
learning in the twenty-first century classroom."

Best Ideas for Teaching with Technology: A Practical Guide for Teachers,
By Teachers is available via Amazon:
http://tinyurl.com/6cpx87

EdTechTeacher.org is our new website and online companion to Best Ideas
for Teaching with Technology: A Practical Guide for Teachers, By Teachers.
The website (currently under construction) highlights ideas, tutorials,
lesson plans, reproducibles, and other resources to help educators
incorporate technology effectively into different aspects of teaching. It
also provides a listing of tools and services that teachers can use to
design lessons, activities and assessments for their classrooms.

In case you're wondering, I plan to continue to organize the annual
"Teaching with New & Emerging Technologies" conference in the spring and
collaborate with Dan Weir and all the wonderful people at Nobles.
Best wishes,
Tom

Hi,

I was wondering how many of you are teaching basic webpage design to
your middle school kids.

If you do teach it (either as part of an integrated curriculum unit, or
as a separate course), can you let me know what software you are using?

We are a PC school, so iWeb and Rapidweaver are out. I would love to
use an Open Source solution that has a gui interface but also allows
students to see and edit the code itself. I use Dreamweaver myself, but
the cost and learning curve are more than I want to use right now with
my middle school students.

WebBlender is fantastic and easy to use - and PC friendly. The kids love it
so much, we have parents calling us asking where to buy it.

Hi,

I was wondering how many of you are teaching basic webpage design to
