I saw a UFO

Well, not really. But check out the new site if you want to see the pictures I took.

Teacher training videos

If you haven't seen them yet, these teacher training videos by Russell Stannard are really cool. Thanks to Darren for the link.

And if you are still visiting this site or are subscribed to the feed here, please check out the new site here.

A blog worth reading

I have been a fan of Mike Rose for some time now, but I didn’t know he was blogging. While it isn’t a real active blog, what he has to say about eduation is always worth reading. Check it out here.

If you don’t know who Mike Rose is, you might check him out here on Wikipedia. Out you could read his book Lives on the Boundary, in which he uses his own story to talk about education.

Taking the "social" out of social media?

I have just posted on the new site about the use of social media in the classroom. If you haven't changed your bookmarks and subscriptions to that site yet, come on over and help me think about the topic.

Swurl

Jane has a link to something I hadn't seen before: Swurl. It claims to allow you to bring your web life together. You can access your various accounts and have them all feed into your swurl account. I set one up here, and I kind of like it. I am not sure how useful it will really be to me, but it is fun to play with.

Migrating to WordPress

Well, I have threatened to do it before, but now I really have gone and done it. I have migrated this blog to WordPress. Random Thoughts can now be found here.

Gabriela's comment on my previous post made me realize how silly it was not to make the move. I had imported posts from here to Moving Along earlier, thinking I would merge the two. But I decided, after importing all the new posts here to Moving Along, that I really didn't want to merge them. So I opened another blog as the new home of Random Thoughts.

This blog will stay open, and for a while I will cross post. But please, if you have subscribed to this blog, change your bookmarks!

Using Blogger

I felt a need to change the look of this blog today, but I was unable to find a template in Blogger that I liked better than this one. Isn't it about time they added more options?

I have played with my portfolio on WordPress over the last few days. Guess that's where the template envy comes from. I keep saying I am going to migrate this blog to WordPress, but I never do.
