This is the last post to this site. I believe I’ve checked everything off that needs to be done.
I know that on technical proficiency I am not showing I know how to bring students into the blog, but I have decided not to do that. This blog is not for the students at school, unlike [...]
My first “educational podcast is complete. Hope you enjoy it. It was made on a MacBook using Screen Flow. (If the video does not automatically appear, click on the link below.)

It will take time to accurately judge the effectiveness of this project. As it grows and I adapt it to the ever-changing environment of our school, I will constantly be reflecting on what is working and what isn’t. This will, then, be an ongoing,fluid process. When evaluating the effectiveness of this site, I will be [...]
I’m not sure who the powers-that-be at my school are. I rarely ask for permission to do anything and am scarcely called on the carpet for it. That’s not to imply that I’m doing all sorts of radical experiments in my classroom, but I do not see the need to request permission to bring Web [...]

Now I just need to make a music video, or at least some cover art, for this piece.
The continuing development of my class website will require a wide variety of tools. A partial list includes:
a blog
a wiki
digital camera
digital camcorder
screen recording software (Screen Flow, hopefully)
sound software (GarageBand, Sound Studio)
image editing software (Adobe Photoshop Elements)
Movie editing software (iMovie)
storage for online video and audio (edublogs.tv?)
At this point, the website is coming together fine. It is [...]
There will be multiple purposes for the website I am creating.
Show students the work we are doing for the week.
Allow students to check the work if they are absent or have added the class late (a too-frequent occurrence at our school).
Link to other general geography sites that we sometimes use during the class
Link to other [...]
I see this project as a fluid, organic piece of work. As such, the ADDIE process will be flowing together as one river rather than as separate branches. This is not always the best practice, but it is often how things work in a real classroom.
The users that this project is designed for are the [...]
I have been experimenting with using different forms of Web 2.0 with my classroom this year. First of all, I’ve created a “fully functional website” using Google Pages for my classes. It is delightful to update and work on my site anyplace I choose, rather than always coming home and slogging through DreamWeaver. Though my [...]
My name is Ken Callaway, and this post is to introduce myself to my ED TECH 700 professor, Karl Richter. I have been a teacher for over twenty years, with the last 15+ years of service at Sweetwater High School in National City. I am in the Social Science department, and have taught a wide [...]
