Mobile Bloggin

You may have seen my son's blog, where he documented his experience while he was in Katrina stricken Waveland, Mississippi.

His blog was created entirely from his cell phone using go@blogger.

Recently my wife did the same thing on her trip to Hawaii.

It's a simple and great way to get others involved in your trip while it happens.

Blogs @ ERHS

Brandi Groce @ ERHS is blogging with her AP Lit students.

Betsy Fletcher has a great report regarding our recent visit to her classroom.

It was exciting to engage in a face to face conversation with the students that are contributing to the online discussion on the class blog. ERHS principal Brian Lowney also joined us.

I left encouraged and excited about the positive potential for this extended learning opportunity!

Flat World...Updated and Expanded

Thanks to Steve Ruble who pointed me to the updated and expanded version of Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat".

If you didn't read the first version now's a great time to pick it up.

Steve's sneak peak says Tom included a new flattener..."Uploading"...sounds like he stayed with 10 flatteners, I wonder what flattener "Uploading" replaced?

Any more reviews of the updated version?

Explore the Universe while using up Bandwidth

Thanks to Bud the Teacher for pointing me to this very cool bandwidth user.

Celestia allows you to explore the universe ... I've been to a different planet and solar system every night this week.

World Mapper

"The world as you've never seen it before"

I'm a sucker for cool map programs and this is a cool one.

"Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest."

EyeSpot & Jumpcut are new online video editors...I haven't tried them out yet, but both our on my to do list. Let me know which you like or are there others I should try?

Spot a Cab

Follow taxi cabs in San Francisco with CabSpotting.

Wow the web keeps getting cooler each day!

Google Pages

Here's my practice run at Google Pages. Meet my family...I found it to be very easy to work with and free. I think it'll be a hit if you need a regular web page.
