[|Intro to creating a Class Wiki] on You Tube
Set up a class wiki with free wikispaces. Collaborative writing, class-produced textbooks, the writing process (drafting, revising, peer editing, publishing), video and audio embedding, all in one place for your class. By a teacher with no commercial relation to Wikispaces.

Guide to Grammar and Writing
===**A great place where students can look up grammatical issues for themselves. The Guide to Grammar and Writing is a popular interactive site that has information about the specific grammar point, online quizzes and step by step learning instructions. [] Sarah**===

I have to give credit to Brad who showed me this, in the first place, but I have embraced this web or online application to help me do what I had difficulty with on iMovie or Garageband. Way easy for anyone to learn. It's great for a "tech refugee" like me. Check it out on the direct link below. Wait for the cryptic message at the end.

Enjoy!

**GOOGLE CALENDAR**
You all may already know about Google Calendar but if you haven't and would like to learn how to set up a calendar for yourself I can easily show you! It's very cool - I've got all of my family's events on there. You can add your spouse so that you both can access it and add events to it in different colors. I think it would be a great thing for the staff to have - a group calendar to stay informed and updated from anywhere. One person just needs to enter in the data and then they can share it with anyone. I might suggest it to our secretary.- Kim

Quotes from iGoogle... > - [|Robert Orben] > - [|Putt's Law]
 * To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so.
 * Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.

Here is a series of AT&T ads from 1993 predicting what technology would look like in the near future. Interesting to see how many have come to fruition! Posted on [|www.reddit.com].

This is a website of a school in the U.K. It has many interactive games that are for younger children. They can be played on the computer but would also be lots of fun when played on the smartboard!
