blogs and hosting
I just discovered WordPress and BlueHosting. Anyone else use something like Drupal, WordPress, Moveable Type (that is what is driving this blog)? At BlueHosting it seems they will set everything up for you! Unlimited databases and HUGE space. I have set up a Moveable Type site although I needed help with the configuration file - couldn't understand the directions... Anyone have other resources?

Permission, Release Slips3/27/
Here are the form(s) for permission to show audio and visual clips of kids in videos. It is specific to Apple, so you would want to change it to represent your district. There is one for parents, Download Adult Release pdf, and a general release form. Download General Release pdf.

How to help administrator3/27/
We spent a great deal of time discussing this issue. Comments that were made:
? Administrators need to be aware of hardware/software costs
? Professional development needs to be a part of any software purchase (25%), especially if the purchase is a new technology.
? Administrators NEED staff development too! Often, if they don't know what the technology does, or how it relates to learning, they will be less likely to support it.
? Sustainability and follow up also need to be considered.
? Provide DATA to your administrator not only about how technology impacts learning, but also how long impelementation takes, additional equipment that may be needed, etc.
? Communicate with ITdepartment ahead of time...admins hear from both sides.
? Tie directly to CDIP/SIP
? Communicate purposefully and persistently. Administrators have many people talking to them about needs every day. Keep coming back and discussing again.

- Need collection of teachers successful experiences with what they are doing to be the spokespeople
- Schools should dictate what their goals are and the forward movement ? gets dicy as all schools are in different places and going different directions
What is Beaverton doing?

Media Player
If you are looking for a media player that really can do everything, down load the best player for OS X. Video Lan Client (VLC) player is compatible with Real, WMA, WMV, Quicktime, etc. Best of all, this player is FREE. You can download this from:
http://www.versiontracker.com

Audacity is an free, easy to use sound/music editor and a great application for importing, exporting and modifying sound files.

Time to Spend Learning
I really appreciated the time spent doing hands-on learning today. This is the one opportunity I have to really spend focusing ONLY on technology and not the other things that interrupt me. Pulse Media was very cool, and I appreciated the time to work on reflecting what we have done this year.

Create/Edit Video
Facinating project with so much potential for students and teachers. I've come away with a framework that needs a little dressing-up and personalization with pics and clips of students and teachers. New skills this time included downloading video, using the video editor and selecting the sections of the video needed for our presentation. I am looking forward to learning how to add music to our project.

Cool Tool
Tag-board. Instant messaging within a website. A way to avoid the IM blocks.

PulseMedia
Somethings I learned from
But mostly I learned the value of being facilitated by students, as that means that they are the ones truly learning, they have a lot of skills to share in technology. As Jeff said, "the student resources are limitless!"... thus raising achievement. And more importantly, learning can be shown in a variety of mediums.
What did you learn from PulseMedia?
