Tag Galaxy Rocks!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Have you seen Tag Galaxy? It's a way of searching images on Flickr. What a great way to do visual literacy, to teach the concept of tags and keywords, to get kids excited about searching images online, and to do all kinds of things that I haven't had time to think of yet! Check it out at http://taggalaxy.com and tell me what you'd do with it with your kids! (Of course Flickr is actually blocked at my school district, along with a host of other sites that are vital for our kids to know about, but it makes homework take on a whole new level of fun!)

HS teacher looking for class to share My Hero project (www.myhero.com)
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I posted this in January, 2009. I plan to do the My Hero Project as a short film again next school year. Anyone interested in doing it in a different part of the world and sharing results? I can be very flexible about when to do the project, and I've had a lot of experience with My Hero and would be happy to help you through it (it's really quite straight forward). My main goal is to create short films celebrating the best in humanity, then share it with an audience in a different part of the world to look for simiilarities and differences.
Let me know if you're interested!
----------------------

Every year I do the My Hero project with my high school students, sometimes just creating web pages, sometimes creating short films. I would like to begin this project again in two weeks---roughly January 12, 2009---and would like to share our results with someone somewhere else in the world. If you'd like to do the project as well, GREAT! If you'd just like to be in communication with my class about the concept of personal heroes, GREAT!
This is my first time with this site. I know I've left no lead time, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.
If anyone is interested please email me and we can see what makes sense.
Thanks for reading this!
