Last week, I wrote about the improved/updated version of Google Docs presentations that is available now for interested individuals. Google Docs is, of course, a great alternative to Microsoft Office. I know that some schools have considered Google Docs specifically as a financial release to Microsoft Office. But I have found it to be a great companion to Microsoft Office, [...]
Since I’ve been uploading quite a few presentations this semester from my Developing Interactive Learning Environments and project management course, I’ve also decided to upload a few others to Slideshare.net that I’ve given and created recently. This is a little slow going, because I am attempting to be critical and meticulous to copyrights, as well as respectful of ideas and images, giving credit where appropriate. I’m also systematically adding my Creative Commons licensing to each of the slide decks.
Today, I get to spend the day at Union University with Dr. Anna Clifford’s classes. Anna is always so generous and invites me to come visit with her students and share a little of my knowledge with them. For the past few times, we’ve been concentrating on Google Docs. But I think I’m going to throw in a little Wordle this time, too.

I’m so excited to go back to Union University today. Dr. Anna Clifford and her students invite me from time to time to come and spend some time with them talking about Google and Web 2.0. We always have so much fun. (Anna always remembers that M&Ms are my favorite treats, too.) Today, I have the pleasure of Joanne G. coming with me to share her expertise as well. She’s a former middle school teacher with Memphis City Schools and has a wealth of real-world knowledge that can be sure with Anna’s preservice teachers. I don’t know if we’ll get everything that we want to talk about in or not, though.

It’s going to be a great Saturday morning! I get to spend the morning with some awesome teachers at Union University in Jackson, TN.

I’m so honored that I get to come. I love sharing and I get to learn something, too…
