Making Me Nervous

I feel I'm a constant disappointment to people sometimes. For example, being an Ultranet coach, people expect me to be interested in and capable of fixing technical problems. Sadly for these people, my version of solving technical problems looks at little like this:

Comic Resources

By now most schools would have received, downloaded, and installed license keys for "Comic Life" on the netbooks. (If you haven't talk to you 1:1 coordinator, Principal, Ultranet coach - in that order ;)

The Comic Life program is a really creative tool for producing lots of different products that can include images, captions and some awesome callouts, speech bubbles and comic strip templates. You and your students will probably figure i… Continue

Speranza

If it weren't obvious from my writing and physique, you should know that I love food. And there aren't many foods I love more than pizza. Indeed, on a recent trip to Italy, I visited my favourite pizzerias.


Pizzeria Spera, Florence


Pizzeria Capri, Perugia… Continue

Artificial Sun

In a former life, I used to be a research scientist. I gained by PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Queensland. The title of my thesis was "Molecular Characteristics of Agonists and Antagonists of two G Protein-Coupled Receptors", and I would highly recommend reading it if you suffer from insomnia.

I rarely miss being a research scientist. Becoming a teacher was one of the more intelligent decisions I've made in my life, for a whole number of re… Continue

I saw The Omen- There are evil kids out there! Oh yes- I saw Terminator too. Technology can be evil too. Luckily those films are works of fiction a bit like some of the poor ideas about technology in education that are out there!

Speaking of student doing evil deeds on computers...A VERY interesting discussion occurred on a conference wiki after a presenter (promoting server security) called his prospective presentation 'The Enemy Within: Stop Students from Bypassing Your ...

Hi Rob, I have had THE most painful video experience with a JVC Everio camcorder. In fact, cutting off my left arm would be less painful than trying to load one of the video clips onto WMM. "oh yes this would be very easy for students to use" says...

HI Rob, I agree with your frustrations on people thinking that kids will use technology for evil wherever possible. It was interesting to note that at the recent Kids Congress held in Bendigo it was the Non Netbook schools' students who were the f...

dont you just love that it is assumed we can "fix" the technical problems ie server, printers etc. Will have to have a go at using etherpad sounds good. If we end up meeting on the 11th - show us. Kids are not what makes the technology evil - it's...

Hi Rob, I also like using Etherpad, it's a great tool! I've been using it for group note-taking since last term. There is something about the writing task that fundamentally changes when students have to collaborate on shared notes. It might be th...

I'm referring to the netbooks actually. The video files were created by a camcorder thingy rather than a FlipCam. I did suggest that maybe they invest in some Flips. I'm disappointed you didn't have a pop!

Darrel replied to Rob Sbaglia's discussion 'Windows MovieMaker'
Hi Rob, No PC bashing from me! WMM will give you a result. The flip cameras usually have the codecs on the USB drive and usually work well after they have been installed. The codec is Divx AFAIK. What version of windows are you talking about? I ha...

Windows MovieMaker
Hi everyone, I'm really hoping that someone out there is a video expert. Like most people, I have had mixed experiences with Windows MovieMaker (WMM). In some schools it works without a hitch; in others, it is plagued with problems. I know that ...

Rob, you could never disappoint us! We are all different and as teacher the fundamental we all embrace is an acceptance of differences. It is our principle but our Achilles's heel.

It's an interesting concept isn't and could be such a powerful environment to learn. To a lesser extent, isn't this what we would like Professional learning teams to be like as well? A big ask, but why not aim high?
