Classroom Blogging as Writing Instruction

More education. Less schooliness.

“A Clustrmap is a Powerful Thing” (2-minute presentation)

Long presentations are great and all, but maybe quickies have their place as well. I can see the need.

Here’s a 2-minute snippet from a presentation I gave to parents to launch our 1:1 Apple Laptop initiative back in August. I simply explain Clustrmaps by showing it on a blog with world-wide readers….written by a 15-year-old.

This and many other multimedia resources I’ve made will be posted on the “Teaching Gallery” page of my new WordPress home. I’ll be adding things there regularly in the coming weeks.

Wow Clay, The new look and feel to your blog is terrific. More importantly, your content and classroom pedagogy are to be admired. I am glad I was able to see you in action, right there in your classroom last week too. You walk your talk.
