Teacher Presentations
I enjoyed attending the Lunenburg Staff portfolio presentations yesterday afternoon. It was great to see so many teachers using blogs, wikis, jing, slidehares, videos, twitter and other tools covered in class. As a stood in the background I heard one of the teachers telling an assistant principal "in January I had never heard of these tools and now look at how I am using them in my classroom, my students really like it" For those of you that presented using Web 2.0 tools, please share your experience and advice for the next class! I already had several teachers ask me "what should we learn next, I love this all the new tools we learning in class". I would have to say, the Lunenburg staff is a group of life long learners and I am so happy I was part of this professional development experience!

Harnessing the Power of Social Networks in Teaching and Learning
Great professional development video. Alec Couros delivered the closing keynote presentation at the 2009 Summer Faculty Institute program at the University of Delaware on June 5, 2009. This wonderful presentation lasts 70 minutes and will give you an overview of what's new on the social networking front and how it applies to teaching.

The Educational Value of Comics - Pixton
A web 2.0 tool that will allow you to create, publish, share and remix comics!
Pixton http://pixton.com/ is a global community where people of all ages create, publish, share, and remix comics - without having to draw! Example of a Pixton™ comic promoting literacy. Students are assigned to remix the comic, correcting all spelling and grammatical errors. http://pixton.com/schools/features
Here is one a colleague made regarding our upcoming senior banquet. Nice job Mrs. Landry.
The Educational Value of Comics
The comic medium – the art of combining words and images – is a powerful form of visual communication, and when placed in an interactive learning environment, becomes an invaluable tool for teaching and learning.
Pathway to literacy
Instantly capture students’ attention and motivate them to learn, using a familiar medium they understand.
Building skills for the future
Accelerate reading and writing, spelling and grammar, conflict resolution, storytelling, and creative thinking.
Collaborative environment
Foster peer-to-peer interaction. Make sharing easy and effective.
Visual learning
Reinforce your lessons through the associative power of words and images.
Lesson Bank
Share and exchange authentic lessons with other educators. Browse by subject area, level, or region. A great source of ideas and inspiration.
There appears to be a school version that does more but costs money, however there is a 30 day trial.
