FORA

I just discovered Fora.tv.  Wow, what a resource.  Combine that with TED and I could be set up for a long time.  What a wealth of knowledge.  I like that really smart people can act as my filter on these sites.

Video History

My Big Moment

I’m in this. Forgot all about it. They called the union asking for “musicians”. They sent over 12 trombone players. Fooled them! Notice the eyes of everyone watching the one violin player in the first row so we get the bowings right. I wasnt “Latin” enough so I got the back row.

Open Course

Cool resource of links.  I like the Chemistry through cooking from MIT.

Social Networks

I am teaching Internet Literacy and I am trying to figure out the best way to teach Social Networks.  There is a big fear factor here.  I must admit there is a facebook-comment-cyberbullying issue the admins are fighting.

I read with interest this post about CIPA (check the 2nd bullet point).  So it might be a good idea to teach about social networks AND its the law.

I also found this example of student work which I found fascinating.  I’m feeling drawn to this ning idea more and more.  How have others tackled this CIPA requirement?
