News in a Blog. Kids Newspaper?

Here is some video I shot yesterday on the way home. It's of the flooding on Schenck's Island in the center of Wilton. I was uploaded with the Blogger video upload button. The point here I think is, what better way to get students involved in their community than publishing their own online news site? A lot of them have photo/video capability on their cell phones already. They could comment on event that are taking place in and around thier town. Teach them to be involved at an early age. The video about was shot with a Flip Video camera and was uploaded to Blogger less than 10 minutes after I got to the computer at home. Anyone can do this, anyone.

How Facebook Changed the End of Mom's Life

A year ago last August my mother was diagnosed with matasticized breast cancer and was told that we were treating not curing. To say that is a devastating thing for anyone to hear is an understatement. But we all rallied around the person who had given so much of herself to raise us three kids. My brother, who lives in Oregon, suggested a book. A book comprised of messages to her, relayed through us, from those people on whose lives mom had made an impact. Me, being a self-proclaimed techie with delusions of grandeur, suggested a group on Facebook since I had reconnected there with many people from my earlier life in New Canaan. So we created "Messages to Peg", an invitation only Facebook Group and populated it with everyone we could think of who had known mom. To be cliche and say that the response was overwhelming would be an understatement. Kids who I we grew up with, now in their 40's and 50's, telling mom how she'd had effected their lives growing up

Links and Resources Out of Our Control

A post on a co-worker's blog provided the subject for this post. One of the really, really cool things about the internet is that it connects you to information from everywhere and from people who you may never meet face-to-face. One of biggest problems of the internet is that it connects you to information from everywhere and from people who you may never meet face-to-face. What? Well, here is the thing. As a teacher or administrator the internet can be a double-edged sword. You are used to being able to control and vet the material coming in to your school or classroom. The issue is that the books you use are from three years ago and the magazine article your student brought in was from yesterday's paper. The power of the internet is dynamic content.
