- back channel - a separate chat just for a group during the time the session is going on; share a link, post an idea, etc. chatterous - chatterous.com/reasonstowrite_blc09 (she usually has 2 students monitor it while they are using it in class)
- Pulse pen - it has a voice recorder in the pen and sync it to my written notes on the written page, can be synced to the desktop as well. Putting one of these in each class and one person is in charge of taking notes each day. Then they sync it to the computer and upload it to the net each night. Here is the website http://www.livescribe.com/ This is cool!
- Skype - duel chat - to bring in authors and artists without really having them there.
- (This is from our chat room) medieval help desk video--for all you techies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
- YouTube as a publishing medium for your kids' work...your kids' work in progress. Can it be used as a way to teach and learn? check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuFsDN8dsJU This kid knew where to go for help, how to get it, and how to get it done safely... notice he never shows his face, says his name, location, etc.
- Etherpad http://etherpad.com/ Using etherpad, etc. to have other writers chatting and sharing with students at the same time as the students
- Another collaborative thing to create a community of writers...Have kids do a "This we believe" about writing (or learning, or anything really)...interviews blended together. Hey wait...maybe I can start that idea here with the group that I'm with...hmmmm. I believe writing expands your mind, swells your heart, and frees your soul.
*Note to self...get a gorilla for my flip camera.
***another idea - flip cameras could be used to do short 30 sec spots on their summer reading books
- ipadio - use your cell phone to create a podcast...could be used for storytelling, oral history, etc. my kids can use it for broadcasting, newspaper, INTERVIEWS
- qik - share video live from your phone - transform oral history writing...
- cell phones can help writing not just for texting but for gathering information
- flicker 365 project http://www.flickr.com/groups/365days/
- GlobalSchoolNet http://www.globalschoolnet.org/ - connects kids from all over the world
- Jing - screen casting software...I can record anything happening on my screen and the sound that goes with it. Every kid has a jumpdrive that they wear with their student id's - they save the Jing's to the kids' jumpdrives and post it on the class wiki. You might also email the file.
- videoant http://ant.umn.edu/ video annotation
- diigo - social bookmarking with highlighting and post-it note capability. You can add to, share, and write info in it. http://www.diigo.com/
