The basics?
David Warlick was recently interviewed on a talk radio show. I won’t go into all the details since I can always just link to his account of the experience, but I do want to cover one question that was asked of him: “Why should we be bringing technology into our classrooms, when our kids aren’t …
Camino Rocks
For a while now my favorite browser’s been Camino, which is a side project from Mozilla.org. Like Safari and Firefox, it’s a free browser that works on Mac OS X. However, it’s faster than Safari and integrates with OS X’s GUI better than Firefox. But now I’ve discovered a new feature: The Ad Blocker. No, …
Podcast 36: My Copying
My 36th podcast is, for a change, not about the Art Club. Show Notes:I’ve been working my way through Lawrence Lessig‘s book, Free Culture. It’s a good read, even though it was written by a lawyer. After the book plug, I spend the rest of the podcast talking about my views and experiences with copying …

Podcast 33: Art Club and 1KBWC
My 33rd podcast’s audio is messed up, but I don’t know how to fix it. It isn’t normally full of pops like this, honest! Show Notes: Happy Talk like A Pirate Day! Art Club starts in a week. 30 kids is a big number when you have less than 10 cameras and less than 5 …
Red Cross Posters
Every now and then (Ok, more often than that…) I feel the need to show off what my students can do. Recently I did a lesson with my 5th graders that involved making posters for the Red Cross. I uploaded several of them to my Flickr account, and thought I would dedicate a blog entry …
Quotes about teachers
Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures – they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That’s a fine art in itself. -Sonny Perdue There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. …
Podcast 32: Books, Clubs, and Conferences
32 is just like 42, except there’s not as much of it. Show Notes: The local Labor Day Festival’s PTA book fair left me with a ton of hardcovers. Why? Can you say Altered Books? Mwa-haha! Art Club notices have gone out, we’re starting the last week of September. Looks like I’ll be presenting at …
