This week, Steve and the newly-minted Dr. Kelley discuss a tool they came across somewhat serendipitously - via Twitter (come on, Mark… join Twitter).

Although still in Beta, it’s fully-featured - and free.  It’s fairly hard to believe in terms of functionality and its K-12 oriented focus. Something like this requires a follow-up show to be sure, and we’re planning to get in touch with some of the teachers who are featured in the partnerships mentioned on the main site - so stay tuned. In the meanwhile, check it out and let us know what you think.

Just a quick note to congratulate Michael, who successfully defended his dissertation just an hour ago - in another few weeks, he’ll officially be Doctor Kelley!

Great work, Michael.

It has become a highlight for this school and upcoming students always look forward to being in one of Jack’s films. Have a listen to learn about how he manages to create such a successful project.

In the last field report, Tina spoke with Kelly Baer about the blogging work her students had been working on.  This time, Tina talks with the students themselves.  In their own voices, listen to what students think about the best parts of the blog experience, whether other teachers should consider blogging activities, and the comments they’ve received on their writing.
