Thanks for the kind words those of you who attended my CUE 2010 presentation on Open Source Animation.  Attached, you will find a .ZIP file containing my first nine assignments in PDF format.  These assignments use Pencil and Pivot (Stykz) about half the time and Adobe Flash CS4 the other half.  Fell free to repurpose [...]

Attached is my updated presentation for the CUE Conference.  I will be presenting Thursday March 5th, 2009, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm.  Info on my “bonus session” can be found HERE about 2/3 of the way down the page. Wiimote Whiteboard Presentation From the CUE Conference Catalog: How to Build an Interactive Whiteboard for Under $100 [...]

I’ve always been disappointed by how much software companies charge education.  Sometimes, you find great software at a reasonable price, but other times you don’t.  One area that comes to mind here is in the area of Interactive Whiteboards.  Leading companies like SmartBoard and Promethean charge thousands of dollars for a single installation.  So it [...]

Educational Technology has always been a mixed bag. From old equipment, to lack of training, to lack of time to implement change, public schools have always had it tough. Recently on techlearning.com, a great article was posted which clearly discusses how to perform Staff Development the smart way. A great read which hits all of [...]

  I will be presenting at the CUE “Digital Natives / Digital Immigrants” Conference in Monterey on Saturday, December 1st, 2007. You can find a copy of my PowerPoint presentation here converted to PDF format: Using WordPress In Education PDF

Well, the Hundred Dollar Laptop actually came in at $189.00 (and dropping), but it’s still pretty amazing and revolutionary in it’s own way. David Pogue of the New York Times has a wonderful overview of the laptop that can be watched below or by clicking HERE. In November, US residents can participate in a “give [...]

The internet is a wonderful place. Unlimited information, comparison shopping, and a bounty of wonder to share with students. However, it’s also a breeding ground for bad information and “conspiracy theories“. By way of example, read all about how the Hummer SUV is more environmentally friendly than the Toyta Prius. A tantalizing idea isn’t it, [...]

One of the trends in education has always been expecting teachers to do more with less. As time goes on, teachers are expected to join more committees, teach more and higher standards, and be trained in more and more areas outside the core duty of teaching kids. Now comes a proposal by the state of [...]
