International Teen Life Podcast

Here is a link to a short podcast (5 minutes 48 seconds) that several gentlemen in Mrs. Baber’s class in Virginia recorded telling about International Teen Life.

A good introduction to the topic and clean well recorded audio.

Good job boys. Looking forward to hearing what else you have to say.

New Links

Finally we can post a link to Josh’s blog so here it is.

As well, I’ve recently gotten an email from a teacher in Thessaloniki Greece. He has several of his students blogging and they are looking for comments. Their blogs can be found here.

I’ve added these links to the side bar as well.

Two Questions….

mr-fisher — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 16:53:37 +0000

I have two questions that I want you to think about and leave your comments on:

1.) Is blogging different from “regular” writing that happens on paper? If you think it is different, describe how. If it is not different, why not? How is it the same as writing on paper?

2.) The second question I have for you concentrates on your personal learning network. We will be getting ready next week for another PLN conference. So my question for you to get you thinking about this is: what is the advantage of having a PLN filled with blogs that are mostly selected by you? How can it make learning different? Is it OK that we are all reading different things and learning different things? Are classrooms supposed to be about everyone learning the same thing?
