Wow, now I remember why I don’t work in the summer. There is so much out there to keep tabs on I need the summer to sort it all out and figure out ways to implement in my classroom or advise others in their classrooms. The first moment I had like that today is when Cheryl showed us Springdoo. I had forgotten about the different uses for it. My first thought goes to students with written language needs and how they still be an active participant in a Web 2.0 environment.
The whole iTunes in the K-12 arena is very interesting. I’m not sure if teachers would view it as “sub” plans or if it would be used to enhance what they already do. I wonder if kids at Stanford and others that use this service still attend the lectures…
Thanks Bob for showing off the different Garageband tricks. I’ve only scratched the surface (and I knew it) when I used Garageband to Podcast. Now I see a great use for it instead of using Audacity (which still has it’s place).
I still think the most valuable piece of this class is the conversation and dialogue that goes on. We aren’t doing enough of it in Professional Development and it needs to (the kids are already doing it themselves).

I would agree with you, the conversation was valuable. It’s always great to hear others in the arena.
