Blogging Through Classroom Technology

This podcast is about achieving digital wisdom and how Khan Academy is a great example of it.  Khan Academy Ted Talk  and Marc Prensky: Learning 2.0

ePals seems like a very cool idea for learners to connect with other learners all over the world! Users sign in and create a profile that describes the students they are teaching and the subjects the teacher would like to learn with another class. Teachers connect with other teachers anywhere in the world to collaborate and co-teach a subject. The students can video chat with other students and learn through collaborative projects. Projects are uploaded so other teachers can use the ideas for their own classrooms. I am really interested in the student connection part of ePals. As a music teacher I would love to try a collaborative song. Similar to Eric Whitacre's virtual choir  or Luke Byan and Jason Derulo duet on Sing!, I would love to get students connecting through song. The teachers could teach different parts to the whole group and work on finessing the song with their individual choir. Then we could record the students singing together.
