A few new tools–

Check out Blackie, which is a version of Google created to save energy.   The screen is entirely black!   (Thanks to Gargoyles in the Library for the link!)

     Congratulations!  You are in print!    Some of you posted on our blog on ideas for using technology in schools, and now your ideas have been published in Edutopia Magazine!  

So congratulations and thanks for sharing your input with teachers all over the country!

Will Richardson (who works with the George Lucas Foundation and spoke at our campus in February)  sent a question to us for our students –and your answers just might be included in Edutopia Magazine!

 Here’s the question–

“What technology do you use outside of school that would be good for the classroom? Why? How would that work?”

They’d love examples of how you see that technology working in the classroom or how it could benefit you at school, because they know students are so tech savvy!

They also are interested in ideas students have for using technology gadgets at school–for example, gadgets you normally use at home or outside of school.

Share your ideas here along with your name and we’ll send the whole list back to Edutopia, and your ideas may get published!

This video about how the web is changing was created by a professor at Kansas State University for a course called Digital Ethnography  and is a very cool demonstration of how web 2.0 is changing our world.   What thoughts does it bring up for you?
