We Have No Banana…
Sep 2nd
After two weeks of community and professional development, we opened the doors for our students to join us. With our first senior class sharing their wisdom at morning gathering, we as educators could not have been happier to have our full learning community once again together at Hsinchu International School (HIS).
The faculty met at the end of the day to share their impressions. Panda Smith, a new science educator to HIS, brought a smile to all our faces as she told the story of a new ESL student interacting with our technology rich culture.
The student asked Panda “Where is the banana? More >

Some Tech Sense » Blog Archive » Keeping Parents in the Loop
This year, I have set the goal to get every parent set up with a Netvibes page so that they can access all of their child’s teacher’s blogs quickly. I’m attending the first PTSA meeting of the year this week to teach parents how to set up the page, I’ve written an article about Netvibes for our school-wide ParentTalk and I’ve created a screencast for parents to set the Netvibes page at home.

Taking IT to a whole new level at Zurich International School
Aug 28th
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here at UTT. Jeff Utecht and I no longer work at the same school; he’s moved on to Thailand and I to Switzerland. In many ways, both of us made the right move, to schools where technology integration lies at the heart of educational philosophy.
Here in Switzerland, the Zurich International School’s 9-12th graders have just begun the school year in a new, state of the art building in which technology was at the core of design principles. As a one-to-one tablet school with a digital SmartBoard in front of each and every classroom, More >
A wiki of educational software
Aug 27th
After my post about moving to a new school and having a Mac for the first time in 10+ years, I received more suggestions of software that I needed then I ever thought I would. I’m still going through the list and of course installing and uninstalling software as I try things out and find what I really need.
I was asked if I would create a wiki to keep track of all the cool software that people were mentioning….so….I did.
The wiki is set up and asks for software recommendations for educators and education in Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Now all it needs More >
What’s your focus teaching or learning?
Aug 27th
So many times we use the phrase “Teaching & Learning” but really we need to be asking ourselves:
Are we focusing on teaching or learning?This came up in a discussion with Kim earlier today, (BTW….the two of us in a room for longer than 10 minutes is enough deep conversation to keep me going the rest of the day) that what we are focusing on is not necessary student learning, but instead teachers teaching. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and take our eye off of what we’re really here for.
As we continue to support teachers using technology tools More >

Kindle coming to students
Aug 25th
Last month I while visiting Tara and Dale I had the chance to play with Tara’s new Kindle, the electronic book reader from Amazon. Given that I like gadgets and books a lot, it is only natural that I would be most intrigued by this device…. And I quite liked it. The price point still seems high to me, but given that you can carry 200 books with you, music and more, i could be a very cool device for us global nomads. Tara gives her first impressions on her blog, but my short interactions was pretty positive: The screen looks like More >
Oh oh, there go my podasts
Aug 24th
Readers of this blog know I am a big fan of podcasts…Well yesterday, itunes was blocked in China:
The government of China has blocked access to the entirety of the iTunes store, and the publishers of a single new Tibet-themed album are claiming responsibility.The album, Songs for Tibet [iTunes link], is a compilation of music by Sting, Alanis Morissette, Garbage and others, plus a 15-minute lecture by the Dalai Lama. The album is being released by the New York City-based Art of Peace Foundation, whose spokesman Michael Wohl said he believed the album was responsible for the outage, but couldn’t More >
