TagCrowd with Presidential Speeches....a possible lesson plan



A good lesson plan for junior high/high schoolers.....perhaps working backwards to deconstruct the speeches of two presidents....

Guess which speech belongs to what president?

Tag World Tools


I wonder how TagCrowd would handle my blog....figured it would be heavy on certain terms that are specific to education and technology...

Week 6, Thing 15- Experiences and Challenges with Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling will be a great tool to use in the classroom.

Week 7, Thing 16, You Tube video comment

The YouTube video, A Few Good Salesmen, is a perfect example of copyright use and mash-ups in one video. While it really does not hold any educational merit, I thought it was interesting that it could be posted without problems from the copyright police. If you are a fan of Jack Nicholson and the movie, A Few Good Men, I think you will probably find this amusing.
I was not able to use the embeddable player feature to embed this video in my blog, but if you just type in the title, A Few Good Salesmen, you should be able to track it down

Week 4, Thing 10: Tagging My Life


Wow! This is Delicious!!!!

It took a while to set up the account, but it was worth it.....I have literally hundreds of bookmarks, and like my closet, they are a mess...

The only choice on the D-20 site that reflected the personal opinions of the creator perhaps a bit too revealing....
