The Tech Time meeting was an interesting one, thanks to Jeff, Keith, and Kim for updates on the CUE and new ideas!
1. https://www.dropbox.com/
This is a website that you can download and transfer files up to 100 gb (2 gb for the free account), similar to Google Docs. Kim tried it with a rather large avi file and it worked!
2. http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com/
This is not a new site, but the idea is to gather text from a famous speech and paste it into http://www.wordle.net/ and look at the words that are used most frequently. These will be the largest words, very powerful in a classroom using speeches such as "I Had a Dream" by Dr. Martin Luther King.
3. http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
A new browser, used for easier editing of documents. Ask Jeff, if you have questions:)
4. http://www.tammyworcester.com/Tips/Tammys_Technology_Tips_for_Teachers.html
A website by Tammy Worcester, with great tips for teachers using technology that was shared by Jeff, from the CUE.
Also, her blog page, http://favoritefreetools.blogspot.com/ Tammy's Favorite FREE Web Tools
5. Our next meeting will be: April 25th @ Ada Harris School at 3:15 pm....see you there (or be square:)
