I work with, and am always learning from, amazing young people that challenge me to re-think the world in which we live.

Just made a voice thread at the Tech Retreat! Wuhoo!

[melisar @melisar]

Now cringing at my typos!

[melisar @melisar]

Voice thread be a way of interacting with of digital storytelling. I use Photo Story & Windows Movie Maker & want to give this a try

[melisar @melisar]

I am thinking about voice thread out of the classroom also - school websites or class photos - this can even be a free on-line yearbook

[melisar @melisar]

I am wondering how many other schools have MOUSE squads? (mousesquad.org) Has anyone recently advocated for one? I would like to try.

@KarenLevy At our school Shelfari is blocked, but students have created great shelves on thier own, & they can browse our classroom library

[melisar @melisar]

@KarenRicciardi Yes - here in Long Island City - what about you?

[melisar @melisar]

I am liking the "whoshoulditwitter" site....

[melisar @melisar]

@KarenRicciardi I think that for ESL students may feel less intimidated by # of words they can use to express themselves

[melisar @melisar]

@KarenLevy Do you by any chance use Shelfari? This seems like a good tool for book chats/talks

[melisar @melisar]

@AnthonyFinney I am not sure about student use, but as a professional development tool I think this can be very efficient

[melisar @melisar]

I'm finding it fun trying to learn about everyone in the room, even though we haven't really "met".

[melisar @melisar]

I can offer some ideas about blogging with students and I would love to collaborate with other educators on joint projects.

[melisar @melisar]

I like Felicia's question: "What does it mean to write in a digital environment?" I want to leave with an array of answers & applications.

[melisar @melisar]

I am here to interact with other NYC educators & learn more about meaningful ways to be one with new technologies!

[melisar @melisar]

Updating my shelfari and figuring out how to get around DOE ban on this site so our students can use this at school!

Ready to run and think about this upcoming week.
