I wasn’t there, but I was CONNECTED | Connected Principals
As more people connect via Skype, the demand for live streaming is there. I think conferences can either acknowledge this and make it possible or they will continue to see us do it ourselves, taking bandwidth. The tough thing is that sometimes licenses are tricky and presenters may not want it recorded – this information is not usually shared publicly as it should be.
Great read for administrators

The Kids Open Dictionary Builder
Collaborative writing and editing continues to move into the classroom. If the pundits didn't like wikipedia, what about a dictionary that students build for themselves?
“The purpose of this project is to create a free, open simple dictionary for students to use. This dictionary will ultimately be published in a variety of formats and for multiple platforms.
To add to this project, find a word you'd like to write a definition for or click “Instant Karma” for a random word. Please consult the style guidelines for editorial information.”tags: education literature edu_trends web2 collaboration literacy elementary_teacher

Student Digital “Textbooks” using LiveBinders
Here are Michael Thornton's student livebinders. These are textbooks written by the students. Except for the typo on Ancient Greece review, this is a marvelous example of having students build meaningful textbooks.Interestingly, Michael's livebinder puts together livebinders themselves. I'm going to be learning more about this tool and have my students use these this year.
