Yet again....a confession...I am behind on blog reading. Ye gads. I avoid Bloglines like the plague because I know, JUST KNOW, too much good stuff will be in there and I have other stuff to do.
Anywho. It is a Friday night, and I am a nerd. So, what does a nerd and her little band of misfits do on a Friday night? Well, first, we took a trip to the Hard Wok Buffet and feasted upon things I can neither pronounce nor cook myself. The we went to Hollywood video and bought Police Academy 1, 2, and 3 on VHS (they are getting rid of VHS stock...hurry now...the good titles are obviously gone). So, then I came home and read an interview of Michel Foucault right before he died and well, now, I am reading my bloglines.
Whew. Confessionals are annoying.
So, I have found this OUTSTANDING post by Miguel Guhlin all about groovy and free technology. But, then I read another one of his super tremendous posts about more cool free stuff. These two posts break down a lot of cool software to do innovative stuff in the classroom. I have a similar site, as well, but that only includes the programs I have tested. I am going to check out these new tools! Thanks, Miguel!
Just a reminder that the k12 Online Conference is soliciting proposals. Thanks to Darren for the post!
Over on Academic Aesthetic, I am a bit behind, but the Art Guy celebrated his 100th podcast a few podcasts ago. If you listen, you can verify that he didn't actually take my parking spot during his visit to Musikfest (well, now, SOMEONE did...heehee).
My Drexel buddy, Jean-Claude Bradley, posted his talk from the ACS. It is a great outline of his Open Source Science work at Drexel. I am amazed by his dedication to this project.
Congratulations go out to Technosophist for the acceptance of her collaborative 4cs presentation. I look forward to the presentation! She includes a link to her presentation wiki - very cool, ideed.
I am very happy that Motherhood Uncensored has moved to the great state of Pennsylvania! Welcome to the National State of Potholes, honey!!!
Some Personal Notes:
My heart and prayers go out to Vicki Davis and her family as they deal with the health of her father-in-law. Vicki has been a leader in teaching so many of us the tools of the trade, and we should offer her our never ending love and support as she and her family navigate this painful time.
On that note, my prayers go out to my husband's aunt, uncle, and cousins. Earlier this week, they lost 23 year old Tommy. He suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. Just a few years ago, he was "well." He was a typical high school kid and then suffered late-set symptoms. There was no warning; one day he was "well" and the next he was "afflicted." No one understood what was happening; no one knew what to do. The last few years have been hard on him and his family as the voice inside grew stronger and more dangerous. Now his suffering and pain have ended. It is a tragic story, but it is a reminder that there is a bigger plan, a better plan, than we can ever understand on our own.
May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and rise in glory, and may light perpetual shine upon them now and forever. Amen.
