Post 31: Hood River Workshop

The following message was created by a cell phone call I made in front of the Hood River HS faculty. The phone-call used Jott (a free Web2.0 tool) that not only recorded the message, but converted it to text and automatically posted in this Blog. Take a moment to reflect on what this means.

Hi, welcome to the Hood River School District. We are here at one of the elementary schools. It's nice to come up here to visit and meet with you guys. I hope all of you leave with something that you can start doing tomorrow that will help impact kids. Listen (recording)

The presentation title was "Possibilites - Tools, Tips and Topics." I began by taking several minutes to quickly create a Hood River Blog. I then took a few pictures and uploaded them to Google Photo (picasaweb.google.com) and uploaded them in a new Post in their blog. Low tech, immediate results.

The above message was created by a cell phone call in front of the Newport HS faculty (this is how I began the presentation). Jott (a free Web2.0 tool) not only recorded the message, but converted it to text and automatically posted in this blog.

While the principal (Jon Zagel) did some preliminary staff meeting activities, I quickly created a Newport HS Blog and uploaded some pics and a video taken moments before. Enjoy.
