I thought I was the only one that hand this problem. Sort feels like the tech version of ADHD. Can’t keep track of all the websites and content. It’s always so hard to tell people exactly which website they need to visit. Thanks for leading the way in finding a solution. I feel inspired.

Comment on Resources for Designing a Blended Class by Brian Lockwood

Time yep time issue is always a hard one to beat… I like twitter’s time shifting way to learning but it’s so darn hard to be commit to, with the #GFW. I’ve compromised and seeing if learning can continue with China’s social networking tools like QQ and http://weibo.com/brianlockwood The PD outcome, I’m learning a whole heck of a lot about China, it’s people and it’s Geography. Does it answer your time issue? yes, but it’s out of context with an international school.. critical mass might fix that. Have more teacher join Weibo and we might be able to replicate a bit of the global learning experience we see with twitter plus tackle that time issue too

A thoughtful post with a lot of astute observations.
The question that remains at the end of the piece:
How do we clone you?

Hi Amanda,

This is a really good post. I had a very similar experience at my current school in Singapore and wrote a post about this a few months back. http://wp.me/p149lR-3D Still not sure on the verdict and I still prefer to be in classes seeing what is happening.

I read your blog after the Leadership Workshop in Singapore last week. I enjoyed your sustainable PD session and came away with lots of good ideas for the future.

Thanks Andrew.

Comment on Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express? by Bethany Smith

I have used both Pro and Express. I have found that Pro just gives me too many options, that there were things crowding what I was really doing. Express has worked perfect for me. It gives me more than iMovie in terms of options and control, but not so much I can’t handle. Since I switched to Express I have yet to run into a need for Pro.

Have fun!

I started Podcasting about a year ago and it is more exciting than blogging. I love podcasting maybe because i love music so much and radio programs when i was still a kid.

My students and I are really enjoying it. Super easy for me to zap files right to their desktops. We zoom in on certain screens to share what others have found. Like so many things, I think it is all in the delivery and the way your classroom is structured. So far my kids seem to enjoy the tool right along with me. Thanks for the chance to try it out!

I’ve used ARD for 8 years from a technicians view it is the 1 indispensable tool I have. Its not as much about monitoring as it is about the fact that administration can. Once students learned that there activities can be monitored 99.5% of the AUP violations stopped.
The other big benefit is the push factor, if I need to install a program on 100 computers ARD can be used. I installed iWork 09 on 50 computers in 20 minutes. I can also inventory computers to see what hardware and software is installed. well thats my 2¥ worth.
