Hi JoAnn,
The workshop was wonderful and we really learned so much! Teachers are blogging, tweeting, flickring, making movies and using photostory! If you haven't checked out Silvia Tolisano's blog - I highly recommend it. She has zillions of resources but here is a direct link to her digital storytelling and blogging information - Langwitches . What I like about her site is that it is geared towards elementary teachers/students.
Regarding Jason - we found that his own site provides the best resources and links, notes etc. He is a great guy - super knowledgeable and readily shares what he knows.
Hi JoAnn
thanks for the comment. I agree the conference on Wednesday was just the beginning. My hope for everyone is a process that leads to a better understanding of where their school needs to be in the future. Keep us posted!
