If you have a new teacher at your school that would like to be a part of our Career & Technical Education Community here at ESU 10, have them log into this community (http://cte.esu10.org) with their ODIE account!  That is IT! 

If they don't have an ODIE account, have them go to https://odie.esu10.org/accounts/NewAccountRequest.aspx.  There they can fill out the form requesting the account! 

Happy 2010-2011 School Year!

Check it out!  Looks like eBay for education!  This is a new site so there aren't too many things here yet.  Might be worth a try if you are planning to spring clean!  http://www.hootofloot.com

Sunday evening I watched Undercover Boss on CBS and have since incorporated it into my Intro to Business class. I showed them the show from CBS.com and now we are researching the management styles of these bosses that will be going undercover. It is a series that just started on CBS. The kids really enjoyed the show!

A couple of websites that I have shared with teachers are http://www.geogebra.org for the math people and www.vpike.com for geography and English classes.

Geogebra is a nice software interface that fits nicely into a 21st century math classroom.

vpike is a map site where you can enter an address and get ground level mutlidimensional photo views for that address.  An English instructor is using it to give a visual reference to the placenames they are reading about.

I just started teaching a personal finance section to my seniors in a class we call "Transitions" and we break it up to a Foods and Nutrition, Careers, and Personal Finance.  I just started using the free resources from NEFE.  I have found it to be successful so far but we are just in unit 2.  I love it because it has some online resources for them and it is up to date and it is FREE! The website is http://hsfpp.nefe.org/home/

Here are a few web sites that I thought you would like. 

This last link is a video from a student demonstrating how her 7th grade science class is being run.  This looked like a very engaging science class!

Yesterday many of you were talking about doing the school newsletter/newspaper online.  I have had this link for awhile and I know there is one teacher in our area that is using this.  Here is the link to create your own online magazine http://www.openzine.com/aspx/HomePage.aspx.  I don't know if there is an educational version to this but I wonder if you can't just set up the magazine and then students would only go to that site to edit rather than the main site.  They may also offer an "educational version" of this if there are enough requests.  I don't think it is a bad site just doing my initial scan.  Check it out!  Are there other sites out there that would work for doing the same thing?  Does this have any other features that Word Press doesn't have?

Share your thoughts on this site!  What does your school's web presence entail?

I love the tech tools that were showed this summer at CITW.  If I have to pick one I am going to say the use of Wordle to create graphic organizers.

I also found a new visual search engine http://www.mugurdy.com/search.aspx

It shows 12 screenshots of the front page of websites based upon your search.

I enjoy showing my students how to use Skype. I have a Webcam on my laptop at school. It was really fun talking to my son in Iraq. The kids were very excited.

I'm also learning how to use eBay with my seniors. By semester end, we should have an eBay business set up and hopefully make a profit!

In my 7th grade computer class the students think of an existing product or come up with an inventions and create several projects based on this.  We will create the following projects: word processing, paint, spreadsheet, and presentation. Most students enjoy coming up with some new invention to make life easier for themselves.  If we have time at the end of the course, I have students group up and create a short commercial for one of their products.
