So sorry it has taken me so long to post this audio.  Real life keeps getting in the way.

This show came to be as a result of me wanting to automate our lunch count proceedure.  I wanted to know the best way to use Google Spreadsheet/Forms to make it happen.  Once again, Jen Wagner came to the rescue along with Mark Samberg and his great ideas.  

Thanks for a great learning experience!

My new house is the house of my dreams and the view is unbelievable.  The price you pay for peace and quiet is…. no connectivity.  I am begging DSL or cable to run a line, but for now I’m stuck with satellite TV (which is ok) and satellite Internet (which stinks).

Brewster Bartlett, a NH high school teacher, shared information about the Road Kill Project that he started. Sheila Adams, a WCA intern, joined us to talk about her involvement in this web based project.

Making Connections # 25 was all about classtools.net (something I learned about from Twitter) a cools site that allows you to create Flash games for the classroom.  We started the show with a bang and even made some new connections.  Welcome to Bill Gaskins and Shelia as first timers.  I am sorry to say about 13 minutes into the show something went very wrong with my audio recording.  But I hope what you hear gives you enough information to get you excited about the site. 

I believe the answer to virtual worlds in elementary school may be within the Edusim environment.  A protected world where educators along with their students can experiment and create learning environments.
