To try from NECC2008
I am enthusiastic about Diigo as an alternative to Trailfire (which is now blocked by the district filter)
For video chatting we should take a look at CamTwist --it allows for streaming a desktop in a video chat.
Let's play a guessing game with another class in another state.
MeBeam allows for quick setup of multi-user video chat.
Let's also do some work with wetpaint wikis . . . instead of blogs? What if we set up a group wiki where we set up rooms for students but also rooms where kids could collaborate on a project?
How do we address all 6 NETS?

Learning Points iMovie
What Did We Do?
It might feel like you haven't been busily learning computer stuff this trimester, but I'm ready to bet good money that you've been learning all along. Do you remember when you got your email address and had to use it to get your Google account set up? Then you created a mind-map, you went shopping with Uncle Albert, and . . . well, I bet you can come up with some other things you did. Maybe you'll look back at your blog posts, or maybe you'll ask around.
The Task
Here's the assignment: Make an iMovie that tells the story of what you learned in computer skills class so far. It must have music (preferably without vocals--try freeplaymusic), and it must be between 60 and 180 seconds in length. Make it creative! Include at least 10 of the things we did, but it will be a better show if you include them all (even email).
The Tools
Use CaptureMe to take still shots that illustrate your learning this trimester. CaptureMe also can capture video, but you'll have to figure that out on your own if you want to capture and use video in your video. Use iMovie to put it all together and make something worth showing to upcoming 6th graders about what computers class is all about.
An Example
I was part of an Educational Technology group this year that went through the 6 technology standards for students. The NETS were the theme for the year, and we had to put together something that showed what we had learned. So I made this video: NETS. I don't expect you to make a pro-quality video (and mine is hardly pro-quality), but I do want something that looks and sounds like something you can be proud of. Take a couple of days to do it right.
(and no more MyYearbook--school rule)
