Some of the highlights from my recent visit with educators at the Texas Tech Forum included:

David Warlick:  An Educator's Guide to Web 2.0

:: Pax home page :: || :: Pax Warrior ::

Pax Warrior is a Hybrid New Media product for the educational and training markets that extends the nascent "Interactive Documentary" form to incorporate decision based simulation and collaborative learning tools. It is at the lead of the new genre of "Serious Games".

There was also quite a bit of a buzz over Linux, primariliy edubuntu. I recently installed edubuntu in my classroom and used it to begin a lesson on operating systems. I would be very excited about an opportunity to use older pcs to build a linux learning lab.

I'm using moodle to manage the Boerne Virtual School, so I took a little time to share my experience with other educators and to invite progrmaming teachers to join our class online.

Boerne Schools Test the Waters with New Web-based Learning Environment | Digett

My business computer programming class was fortunate to have Mark Figart of Digett as a guest speaker, yesterday. The students are preparing a podcast from the audio recording of the question and answer sessions. The students asked great questions and documented their responses as assignement entries in our Boerne Virtual School Moodle course. We are looking forward to having other speakers from the local Boerne business community.

iBoerne.com is a mashup of Google maps and Drupal using the drupal gmap module to create virtual competition between teams of students. The teams are: Yellow, Red, Green, Blue. The rules of the game were created to encourage the six member teams to discuss concepts such as project management, virtual teams, workflow, efficiency, and collaboration tools.

I met with a group of educators the other day, and I was having a little trouble explaining what podcasting was without using words like rss and xml, and then I stumbled upon the Ninja.
