WallWisher...Make Paperless Sticky Notes

Wallwisher allows you to post sticky notes to a virtual wall. There are numerous personal uses for Wallwisher, but I can also see the potential for its use in the classroom. I recently posted a discussion note on Wallwisher and had students respond. They loved it. We discussed the postings on "the wall" via interactive whiteboard and saved alot of paper too!

We've Flipped Over Flip Video Cameras!

Park IB teachers and students are "flipping" over our recently purchased Flip video cameras. Kindergarten classes have recorded their fairy tale productions, second grade classes have made advertising presentations and fourth grade classes produced a mini-movie about their wishes for children around the world. Flip cameras are easy to use and integrate into Windows Movie Maker. The only limitation is your imagination.
