Take videos on YouTube with you!

Have you ever watched a video on YouTube and wished you could view it on your blocked school-site computer? How cool it would be to be able to download an educationally relevant video, put it on a flash drive and show it the day to your students in class? Well now you can! Follow the directions on this site:

... and you'll be able to turn those YouTube videos into files that will play on your computer. The files can get pretty big, so make sure you have enough space on that flash drive to hold all of your new video treasures!

Enjoy!

At SDCOE for training

I'm currently attending a two day training about how to effectively use technology to support literacy. I love going to sessions like this and ALWAYS get something out of them. I'm getting lots of great tech nuggets and am capturing the URLs and ideas on a Google Doc. (http://docs.google.com) This way I can later evaluate at a deeper level things that I'm learning in this session. Often times I'll make connections and come up with ideas that I didn't think of while actually in the session. There's that "Reflective" thing going on again! :)

Started Teaching Again

A new semester has begun. Last week I began yet another semester of ED 422. I look forward to the class: There's always something to share, to teach, to learn! Each semester can be a very enriching experience. And away we go doing the geeky-ed-techy thingy!!!
