Karl Fisch (a local ed tech blogger guru) is putting on the 2nd annual Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation (2009 Edition). I just RSVP’d.

Come join the “conversation” February 21st. This will be a great opportunity to learn ways to help students learn… while using amazing technology.

Whether you have an impact on students at the classroom, school, or district level, this will be the kind of event you come away from feeling charged, empowered and ready to make a difference. Poster Flyer

Have you ever spent more time trying to find information on your computer than it would actually take to get the job done once you have found the information?  

Well lucky for you there are applications that will assist you in organizing your notes. These applications enable you to keep notes, phone numbers, files, tasks, lists, tags, images, directly record audio notes, share notebooks among colleagues,  etc., all in one easy to use and organized place. The two applications I enjoy most are OneNote by Microsoft and BasKet Note Pads for Linux.

If you work for APS you can start using OneNote right away.  While at work, turn on your computer, click “start,” “run,” and type in “aps2007,” and click, “ok.” Wait 10 or 20 minutes while it installs on your computer. Do not stop the process.

Once it’s finished installing you’ll have the Office 2007 suite which includes OneNote.  To learn more about using OneNote, log in to One Place and go to Atomic Learning where you can search through over one hundred tutorials on using One Note. You can also go to Microsoft’s One Note website to find lots of helpful training resources.

If you have a friend in the district that is hopelessly disorganized, send them this link. Give them the necessary tools to empower the organizational wizard within them. Let’s all get organized.  🙂

I’m catching up on reading blogs from all of the superstars in APS (see my blogroll) and found this post from Shannon Wentworth. She’s created four screencast tutorials on how to add video to activstudio flipcharts. If you want to know the different ways to add/embed video to flipcharts, check out this blog. ~Thanks for sharing your work Shannon. 

Do you have a work laptop that won’t connect to the Internet when you’re away from work? You probably just need to uncheck your Proxy settings.  Here’s how:

• Open Internet Explorer.
• Click on Tools> Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings>
• Uncheck the box next to “Use a proxy server for…”

Be sure to check it again while you’re at work.
