Digital Learners

I am sure that I have seen this video before, but I ran across it again on YouTube. So I thought I would share it with you all. I just really love the message that this video is sending to teachers....it is something to think about.




There is also this video that I thought was really cute! It is also about Digital Learners, but focuses on getting girls involved in learning about Technology! D-I-G-I-T-A-L!

Physical Activity and the Wii

For some reason, I just can't get enough of the Wii, and I STILL don't have one! Don't get me wrong, I want one, I just can't find one! Once I finally get one, I am going to try all geeky techie things that you can do with the Wii. Until then, I will just keep reading about the great things the Wii can do.

I ran across an article at jdnews.com today about seniors and physical fitness. As I read, I just imagined Physical Education classes throughout Onslow County utilizing the Wii. Please read this article and give me your thoughts. http://www.jdnews.com/news/wii_55661___article.html/one_bowling.html

Thanks,

New Blog Feed and Video

Hey just wanted to let you all know that I have added Tony Vincent's "Learning In Hand" Blog to my blog. This is a great blog if you want to learn how to use iPods and Podcasting! I also have added a new video on learning to integrate technology into your curriculum! If you have any new ideas for my blog, give me a quick email or comment!

What are Wii to Do?

As some of you may know from my last blog. I am really interested in the Nintendo Wii Video Game System. (When I might get one is another question, as I refuse to pay the over inflated Internet prices, and the local stores are always sold out). My last blog showed a video on how to use the Wiimote and turn it into an interactive whiteboard...very cool (I will be trying it!) But I ran across a cool link to The Wii Owner’s Toolbox: 100 Cool Things to do With Your System . This website really has some interesting (and a few not-so-interesting) ideas for using your Wii! (And I bet your students who are lucky enough to own one have already tried most of these!) So...I want to hear from you if you have a Wii, if you have tried any of these "cool" tricks, or if you have tried any other cool trick! Happy Gaming everyone!
