Friday 5: Misc. Sites

The Friday 5


Hi Subscribers,

Here's a quick list of sites that I think are worth checking out. Again,
I learned about most of these during the Apple Distinguished Educator
Institute last week.

The Friday 5 is going to continue in its present form, but I'm also
going to be sending out the list via Yahoo! Groups. The reason for this
is that people can subscribe to the RSS feed in Yahoo Groups. If you
have no idea what I am talking about, don't worry because I will be
addressing the subject of RSS feeds and news aggregators in a future
issue! If you are interested in joining the Yahoo Group for the Friday
5, please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/friday5/.

Have a great week,

1) Domino Artwork
http://www.dominoartwork.com/educators.html

A teacher at my school just had her students render the Mona Lisa in
dominoes, so I decided to check out the web site of the artist who
inspired their project.

2) MabryOnline.org
http://mabryonline.org/

This is the school web site designed by its principal and my ADE
classmate, Dr. Tim Tyson. I really like the design of his site and
also of his blog: http://mabryonline.org/blogs/tyson/ .

3) Teoma
http://teoma.com/

Another search engine which I think is of the same technology behind Ask
Jeeves.

4) Tux Paint
http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/download/macosx/

This open source drawing software for kids was recommended by my
roommate at the ADE Institute.

5) November Learning
http://www.novemberlearning.com/

This is the web site of our ADE Institute keynote speaker, Alan
November.

Apple Store Field Trip

I met my NLU students at Apple's Michigan Avenue store tonight for class. I designed a scavenger hunt for my students and Scott Murphy did a presentation on the iLife suite of software in the theatre. When I arrived at the store, several students were already there. And, they had figured out how to do video chats already! I had told them on Tuesday that creating a video chat would be one of the requirements of the scavenger hunt. So I was impressed that they had already done this by the time I arrived on the scene. Their enthusiasm got me pumped for the field trip in general! At the beginning of the theatre presentation, Scott asked our group what their impressions were of Apple. And, the usual comments were discussed... Apple products are more expensive.... not pervasive in the business community... etc. By the end of the presentation, I think the group fully understood about what makes Apple stuff so unique. Scott was a trooper and spend way more time than I expected lead
