Whoops....Glass cracked but still useable..... PARENTS get a cover!!!

So many kids today learn better when they are able to touch and see things, than just read it out of some book. Don't get me wrong books are still great,but kids can learn a lot faster if it is something they like and what kids do not like technology these days.

If your schedule would permit we'd love to have you join in one of our Celebrate Oklahoma Voices workshops this summer! These 2.5 day experiences are really great for developing digital storytelling skills. Consider this an open invitation: http://wiki.celebrateoklahoma.us/Home/calendar/2010 If you come to Oklahoma I promise to coordinate with the National Weather Service to insure we don't have any tornados nearby during your visit! If you would rather take the workshop in Kansas you can do so in Manhattan Aug 4-6 at Kansas State. Just let me know! Good work Will!

Many of the lower elementary teachers I come in contact with are reluctant to use technology because they feel that it takes away from the f2f learning they feel is most important. While I don't necessarily agree with this, I do respect their opinions. This video will be a great way to show them the interactivity that the iPad can encourage without losing the socialization that they value. Great information!

With cloud computing raging ahead, and more and more companies joining in (Apple's own iWork for example), much of what kids do now with costly programs can be done while surfing the web. I'd always thought even as a user friendly tool to get access to the internet, the iPad was great, but after seeing your video (iMovie's great isn't it!), I am so excited for the apps. Thanks for sharing this and introducing me to yet another amazing mind to follow.
