I was searching on education and web 2.0 and accidentally bumped into this presentation. I’m amazed at the work done.

[…] John Pearce’s session of K12 Online Conference was one that I went into blindly but I really enjoyed it on many different levels. I could really relate to the process he went through because I’ve gone through some of the same struggles that he did this year trying to establish Web 2.0 tools in an elementary classroom setting. I found that setting up the system was like aligning the stars, difficult because of all of the little pieces involved some of which I could control but other parts we out of my control and I had to put faith in others delivering but the end results was going to be worth it. There are so many small but very important details that you run into that don’t come out in the idea stage. I appreciated hearing how John didn’t let the challenges or obstacles get in the way of the overall goal. […]

I’m sorry that it has taken me so long to sit down and view your presentation, John but I would like to pass my congratulations on such a fantastic presentation. Ironically, although I’m a very strong advocate of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom, I haven’t implemented as many in the classroom as I should. In 2007, that will change as I will be in the classroom four days of the week and be able to follow through a lot more things that I set up. Your experiences will be invaluable as I set things up.
Cheers,
Graham.

Photo Story has taken off big time at our school. My students have been using it to make “talking books” from print publications they have made earlier in the year. These have been uploaded to a dedicated blog, Middle P Stories as WMV files. Unfortunately because of serverproblems at school the blog is fine however the stories cannot be accessed, (hopefully next week the technician, (there’s that word again :), will have them up and running again. If you take the attachments link in the top right hand corner of the Articulate screen however, as Photo Story has done, you will find one example of a story. You will alos find a tutorial that I have written and used with a number of teachers to get you started with Photo Story.
