I recently emailed you a link to a site that facilitates online meet-ups with authors.
Here is a blog post about a successful experience with this site. It'd be great if we could try this at RVIS.

Bug Scope
This one looks exciting for anyone studying insects. You find some bugs, send the to the US, and they set up a time for you to interact with their scientists on a high powered microscope. The project is meant to be world wide, but so far it's almost exclusively US schools...I imagine they'd be excited to share some Bahrain bugs.

Student invlolved assessment
Dean Shareski is a blogger, and a Canadian Digital Learning Consultant in Moose Jaw (is that a real place? really?).
Instead of copying his post on student involved assessment, I'll direct you to it - links to further articles are there, and it's really worth a read.

Creative Commons Audio
As a follow up to last week’s staff meeting, I thought it might be useful to look a bit more at creative commons – specifically with regard to music.
Podcasting, as well as many of the photo and video products we discussed, allows us to add music to “spice things up”. Technically, we should be paying to use copyrighted music.
The answer: creative commons music. Below are a few websites that provide music licensed as creative commons – which means we are free to use it with anything we produce, as long as we acknowledge use in the credits. I also like the idea of using something different in what we produce.

http://ccmixter.org/
http://freepd.com/
http://www.freesound.org/ (sound effects, not music)
This link is a “further reading” option, with links to cc audio, picture and text sources.
Let me know (or add a comment here!) if you are interested in learning more.

Podcasting Lesson
I haven't blogged for a while. I was waiting for someone to notice and mention to me.
That worked well.
Anyway,
Simon Mills, a teacher in England, has just posted on his blog about a series of lessons he did with Podium, the podcasting software we discussed on Tuesday.
Worth a look.
