Playing on the garage band was surprisingly easy and fun! I think this is something that students will be able to use probably easier that we did. I always love to learn some new technology that can be used in a classroom. I have been wanting to learn podcasts. so can't wait for that. A few semester ago I learn photo story which I now use every year, but I use windows movie maker.
The presentations were good this week. I especially liked the podcast presentation. It was good to see how it can be used in elementary classrooms! Good job everyone!

Class Presentations
Wow! I think there was a lot of good information in the presentations. AND a lot of different information. I liked learning more about the interactive white boards. My district is in the process of getting them and I can't wait to use one in my classroom. The information given was useful and interesting.
Vadim's calculator presentation was great! I personally don't use calculators (teaching pre-k), but it was nice to see the discussion on whether or not they should be used!
Kerri's PBL presentation was interesting. It sounds like a fun way to teach, but also different then what we were taught. I think it would take a lot of work and a lot of support from your district. In an ideal world, an ideal class and an ideal administration!
Thanks for all the great info!!!!

Web cam lawsuit
I found the lawsuit against the school district that used web cameras to track down missing computers pretty intriguing. I could see both sides of the argument. On the one hand the school district has put a lot of money into these computers to not use some sort of safety measures in protecting their investment. On the other hand, I see the families point of view where it could be looked at as spying. I think the moral of this story is to be up front with your students, parents and the public. When things are kept in secrecy is when there is problems. Personally as a parent I would have been fine knowing they would use these cameras if the computer was stolen, but I would not be okay with it if they did not inform me of it.
