APPLE Worship

Filed under Personal

I was doing several image searches on FlickrStorm. I came accross a lot of GEEKs sharing photos of their MACs and other APPLE toys. So I thought, “I can do that”. In this picture I was a father for about 4 hours and one of the first pictures of my daughter is posed in front of my G4 PowerBook. Hey, you know her first word was apple!

This Vid needs to be seen!!!

Filed under Personal

I have had the privilege of meeting and working with the writer, director & editor of this film. He is only a senior in high school. Some of the images captured in this video reminded me of the loneliness and paranoia I felt as a young adult. Feeling that people were always staring at you, yet not seeing you. I was extremely impressed and hope to see more from this young man.

Please watch it and pass it on.

Of course as a technology educator how much is too much & how can educators training each other in all the aspects of Web 2.0? I had a conversation with friend, colleague and blogger Brett (Edulicious.com), about how not to overwhelm your fellow teachers AND still keep them from falling behind. Brett and agree that encouraging the teachers to create browser homepages with iGoogle, Netvibes or Pageflakes could help teachers stay organized with RSS feeds, Social Booking marking, Blogs, etc. I guess this could be a good start to helping teachers stay in touch…
