Examples of uses of wikis in K-12

Check out this link to see how others are using wiki's in education !

There are many good ideas on using wiki's in the classroom and I'm sure we could add a few ideas ourselves.

Need a good description of what a wiki actually is? Check this out:

Newark Trip Details

I will try to keep a daily log of what we are learning in our PowerSchool training class in Newark and our trip in general here: LINK

Headed to Newark for PowerSchool Training

Well, supposed to leave at 1:55 from KC, but delayed because of weather and should leave at 3:24.

Greenbush Employee Facebook

I have actually not been on Facebook before, but thought it would be great if we could either setup or create a similar project for Greenbush employees. Employees could create profiles to list information about what they do, their talents, and contact information. If other Greenbush employees were searching for someone to do a video to DVD, do some CF programing, etc... All they have to do is a quick search and it list employees with that skill. Or if you need to contact a co-worker by phone...log in and find their profile to quickly give them a call.

Thoughts???

Our KOAM TV Video Series

Here is our visit with Jenifer Denman at KOAM TV:

And this is our visit while they were doing the 6pm newscast:

Lynda.com

This is a great example of a way to sell content from video tutorials or educational content.

The Rise of Educational focused Video sites

WOW! Everyday it seems that I see another Educational focused video sharing site. I wanted to share a few of the ones I found:

Teacher Tube
Next Vista
SuTree
IgniteLearning

With this kinda of interest in helping people learn, I think that we here at Greenbush, could find a way to assist schools in our area in getting good quality video content out there!

Final Cut Day #2

Another great day at Class! We learned about logging and capturing, Multi Cam editing, and difference between Video and Computer screens. We also learned a lot about customizing Final Cut.

Lunch again at Izzy's

Finally!

Finally, today will begin our class for FinalCut Pro. This should be the beginning of a great journey and hopefully prosperous.

Our travel notes:
Last night we visited the Third Street Promenade, which is lined with shops and restaurants.
We ate at Yankee Doodles and had a great Pizza.
We walked down to the Santa Monica Pier.

Heading out to Santa Monica

Darren Dawson and myself are heading out to Santa Monica today for FinalCut Pro training.
We had a great lunch and Now waiting at Airport in KC!

FlipTrack

On Episode 46, we feature the online slideshow creator called Fliptrack
Fliptrack allows you to put your pictures to their array of musical selections with ease.
You can create online or with a Windows machine you can download their software which gives you the ability to create a little more. I downloaded the software and created a great CodeMonkey video, but still waiting for it to show up online. But I created a short slideshow on the website and it was posted very quickly. They give you the code to embed or post to a variety of blogs and webpages.

New Podcast Format

We have begun our new format for our Take2 podcast! Thanks to a few brilliant minds, we heard input on what we could do to serve the listeners better. We now have a more focused audience and structured segments, like "What's New" "Tech Beat & Tech Light" and "Leadership Corner" with Brad. Also a new segment with Jason Slaughter!

We continue to work on the live broadcasting with Wirecast.

Can't wait to hear how everyone likes the new format.
