Voice Thread is one of my favorite tools for Web 2.0 in the classroom. Check out this excellent project by elementary students. I will definitely use this tool in my lesson planning for next year:
Bardonia has received a “Picturing America” grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities--- a bookshelf of 22 books and 40 works of art composed of forty, carefully selected works of art spanning several centuries — by American painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects. Our object is to enhance the curriculums of American history, social studies, language arts, literature, science and mathematics by writing lesson plans and resource guides utilizing these materials.

Re-designed National Archives Website
The National Archives has recently redesigned its website. The site is to use with excellent multimedia effects. Students will have the opportunity to explore digital vaults, where they can build their own personalized collection. Pages are interactive. Students can create their own projects, such as a poster. This site is worth exploring this summer for lesson plan ideas.

past blogs-QUIA
I was looking over the past blogs and I noticed that the district did not pay for QUIA last year. Does this still ring true for this year? I hope it something that we will have access to. It is such a great tool.
wow

Getting started
Here are two things to do to make the wiki and blog work for you:
1. Vivian, on the home page go to the discussion tab and check in the way Mike and Vivian have.
2. Everyone, go to the "notify me" tab at the top right. On the second line you will see: Looking for changes to all the pages in this space? Visit the space-wide notification page. Select space wide notification and have notices sent to you email of any changes on the site. That way you don't need to check the wiki, you will get an email whenever we do anything on it.
3. Finally, you can now access the blog through the wiki, I've put a link there. vivian, I sent you an invitation to the blog.
