Testing - linking PDF files saved in Google Docs

So, this link should show a PDF document I uploaded to Google docs... let's see.

CHAT with visitors to your blog/site

Take a look! There's a chat box on the right side of my blog, connected to my Yahoo Messenger. You can use this tool to chat with visitors to your blog without either of you revealing your IM or e-mail information - if you're online, the box will allow people to choose a nickname and chat with you; if not, it will show a message of your choice.

Check it out!

NOTE: at the moment, the chat box only works when you view the blog with INTERNET EXPLORER (does not work with Mozilla Firefox, apparently there are compatibility issues).

CLASSROOM 2.0

This website is dedicated to teachers interested in using the Web 2.0 - the site itself is a great example of what the Web 2.0 can do.

The architecture is similar to Facebook or My Space or any of the social networking sites, but the specific Theme is education and collaborative technologies.

Take a look - it's VERY good.

It's been a while!

Wow - I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. I have been too busy with "stuff". Anyways, I found a website designed and dedicated to blogging in a classroom environment - what I liked about it is:

• It was designed by a teacher
• It allows the teacher and the students to have blogs
• Seemed pretty easy to use.
• Looks like Internet Safety for students is a major priority.

I haven't had a chance to explore too much, but I liked what I saw. Here's the link if you are interested:

Enjoy!

- the George Lucas Educational Foundation hosts a website www.edutopia.org and has a podcasting channel in iTunes; lots of information about teachers development, teaching tips and tricks, and other things

- a website with information for Teachers on a variety of topics is www.teachersdomain.com
