Some new videos

Here are some new videos I have recently run across:

• Blogs in Plain English
• Online Photo Sharing in Plain English
• Google Docs in Plain English
• Having Our Say: Middle Grade Student Perspectives on School, Technologies, and Academic Engagement
  
• The Essay

The last one is very funny and also illustrates yet again the power of Web 2.0. elkedas added the link to the video on the Moving Forward Videos and Handouts wiki page. If I hadn't made that page publicly editable by anyone, and if she hadn't voluntarily taken the time to add the link, I probably never would have seen the video. Now I have a new resource for when I present (thanks, elkedas!).

These are the kinds of examples we need to give educators in order to help them see the power and potential of some of this technology stuff. Also, please remember that the Moving Forward wiki is intended to be a free resource for all of us who are trying to facilitate technology-related change in schools. If you've run across a great education-related blog / wiki / podcast / video / etc., please add your resources to the wiki so that we all can benefit, just like elkedas did. Thanks!

Scott:

Thank you for this valuable resource. I am going to share it with my cohort members at Seton Hall and my colleagues in Massachusetts.

We are trying to move the Web 2.0 vision forward in our schools and these video clips will help people understand more the power of the web.

Scott, thank you for sharing the links to these videos! I have uses planned for each of them from tomorrow night's class that I teach (instructional technology for preservice teachers) to the first class of the same course next semester to my blog. Jo Schiffbauer
