ISTE award winners
I'd like to direct you to a page I received listing some of the winners of the annual ISTE (International Society for Technical Education) contest in the SIGMS division (Special Interest Group Media Specialists). Only three of the winners have links to their projects but all three are worth looking at. Go to -

and look for the links to MakingHistorySnowAdventure and the two blogs. Be inspired! Katie

Alaskan Authors Blog
Since I think Dianne's intent with this blog is for us to share with the class I thought I'd make a couple entries with some great examples I found this week.
The first is a blog maintained by and about Alaskan Authors. It is called 49 Writers. I like the simplicity of its layout. It looks clean and inviting. It is necessary to scroll down to get the full benefit of the blog, the individual author information is on the side in the right hand column but once you know to look there it is easy to locate.
It is interesting how blogs fill different needs for different individuals and groups. I hope you enjoy browsing this one and sharing it with colleagues. Katie

Lots of Links
I put a link to the web site used in the TVC Digital Photography class. Stephen Cysewski has gathers lots of web resources. If you have nothing to do after this class on Saturdays you may want to take his class. It meet the same 9 - 3 as this class for 7 weeks. Part of each class is a field trip to take pictures. I took it last fall and have fun. I am going to take it again this spring because with different weather and seasons it should have more to offer.

Inopportune phone call
sorry about the rude interruption. That was my son who phoned, and he wanted to talk, so I thought I'd take advantage of the moment.
Inauguration time?
Do any of you know when the inauguration ceremony will start AK time?
I am anxious to hear the inaugural poem?

Having fun learning how to blog
Hey Guys! We are blogging! Our kids would be proud of us! I'm fun with all this stuff.
Glad I found you all!
Good morning everyone! Despite my late arrival, I am glad to be with you and ready to learn tons of skills for blogging and wikiing.
P.S. Thank you, Katie, for catching me up on all the things I missed. : )

I am practicing the use of tools in the editing or composing page of this blog. I am trying to relearn how to use this stuff and make it user friendly. I am wondering how to get students to be comfortable enough with this program to use it. I am also wondering how to get enough time in on a computer for each student to master this blog and wiki. Will this be informational and just a supplement to my class or a main component? Listening to students here in class as we work, with frustrations, I am not sure that I can give up enough time or get to use the computer lab enough to make this usable in art classes. Another question is: will this be obsolete in a year or two with something new or will this be around for a while?
