Cool Video: One Second a Day

I saw this video posted on the internet today, and thought "Wow, what a cool idea!"

A young lady, a senior at the University of North Carolina, took a one second video clip of every day of her Senior Year at UNC.

I really enjoyed this.

If you are interested in reading her thought process behind the project... She wrote an explanation at this LINK.

These are the neat kind of things we can do with technology...but we need to unleash ourselves and do something creative.

So Cool! Stream from International Space Station

NASA has attached HD Cameras to the outside of the International Space Station.

They stream it live 24 hours a day.

Here is the LINK.

Just a sample of the live feed from the space station.

Neat Picture!

I saw this picture on Google Plus this morning, and it just made me want to jump right into the photo and start running down that road!

I love this!

This makes me want to run.

Alternate Browsers - Installation

Because of the Security Flaw in Internet Explorer, it has been recommended across the board, that anyone using the Internet use an "alternative" browser.

Here are some instructions for installing both Google Chrome and Mozilla FireFox.  I prefer Chrome, because it is so fast...but I do know that FireFox users are very loyal, and they don't like to switch for any reason.

So for the time being, if you don't have another browser installed...here are some options:

How to install Google Chrome:

How to install Mozilla FireFox:

Also...if you MUST use Internet Explorer... you may continue to do So, but you need to disable Flash.

This will greatly limit your activity...as many sites utilize flash player.  But it's still possible.

To disable flash you go to: Settings -> Manage Add-ons, then select Shockwave Flash and click the disable button.

2014 TIE Conference resources

A few weeks ago, Mr. Farnham and I attended the 2014 TIE Conference in Sioux Falls.

It was a very informative conference, and I learned a number of different things.

I thought the Blog would be a good place to link some of the resources.

First off, here is the LINK to all the participants presentations.  If you click along the top "tabs" of the Symbaloo...you see there are all the sessions listed, Sunday's in depth sessions, Mondays, and Tuesdays.

Some presentations you may have interest in:

40 Web Tools for 21st Century Skills - it's a lot, but they are pretty good.  (Note:  Link takes to webpage...PowerPoint is downloaded from there).

Symbaloo (is kinda neat) I haven't used it, but it looks interesting.

Top 10 Classroom Tools - This has some neat things in it.

Chrome Apps - this was a good one, I attended this presentation

Hope you can find something interesting and exciting that you can use in your classroom!
