If you’re not in the “oh, god, how silly” camp in conversations about 3Dinternet virtual environments, and you want to investigate Second Life beginning at a safe and informative entry point, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), an 85,000 member organization with well over 3,000 of them using SL, has created a new way to enter the environment, accessible at the webpage at http://secondlifegrid.net/programs/education . You can friend me “Johnann Waydelich” on the ISTE library sim at the Johnson and Wales University bakeshop lab site.

Have fun and let me know your avatars name and we can compare notes on the hospitality industry in SL.

This a great site to learn basic and not-so-basic “lingo” when it comes to technology in the classroom.
The Florida department of education must have been reading my mind. I had attempted to stream a conference into my virtual lab and asked an avatar what would be the best way and they steered me to this site:

Once again, Zaid has done it again! This time it’s not the tools but the research and resources to find info. I love some on these sites. I might just have to speed up my Phd. just to use them! heehee. Have fun:

Over the last week, I was talking to other culinarians about the need to somehow introduce ipods in the curriculum. This popped up in front of me moments ago…It seems we are way behind in usage, education already has 100+ ways to use ipods for the classroom. Check it out here:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a vast selection of cake books in my life! I was thinking about doing one (writing a book), but after looking at all the great books out there all ready….why?!

Check them out here at Zoomii.com. I guarantee you will be impressed! If you know of any other site that might be of interest, please feel free to chime in.

I’m looking for something like this with antique books. (Wanting to find old cookbooks from 18-19 century).

Following the presentation slide-share in my last post, I think we should all learn to speak better. So, here you go:

Speaking Alltops

Everything you always wanted to know about speaking that my friend and collegue, Joanie, never told you!

The last ten years, my colleagues and I were all down with ppt. The consensus came from the world teaching forum somewhere in this Universe, PowerPoint is the way and we are the follower.

Every year we would have PowerPoint in-services of how you can spruce it up for your presentations. Thank goodness it’s all just about over now…..

The presentation by Nancy Duarte tells it like it is and offers some great resources and advice along with links. A definite must see for any teacher. Bring life into presentations!
