At 4:31pm on April 17, 2008, Julie Lindsay said…: Ryan and Chris, I really enjoyed listening to your podcast. Below are some very random thoughts based on the podcast.

Computer centric? or student centric?
Is the use of technology adding growth to you as an individual?
I found it interesting the students seemed to think the use of computers was still removed from everyday life as such. However they thought this project was quite computer centric with heavy reliance on the technology.

Very nice...'Expanding our horizons', 'Inter-global friends'
Too technology dependent...(is this a bad thing?...my comment)

The theme of having Web 2.0 and online resources as an option in schools is interesting. Non-compulsion makes it easier for teachers to not feel threatened.

I will be recording a session with my students next week.

i tried creating an account last night but it wanted, credit card details and my cellphone number...however when i specified that the country i lived in was Qatar it didn't have a service provider, so it wouldn't let me get an account... do you have any ideas?

At 6:40am on March 26, 2008, Jamie T said…: Hey Mr. Bretag. I'm looking into buying a laptop. Do you have any recommendations as to what type to get?
(Sorry if that's random, I just remember you talking about it at a Student Advisory Board Meeting with Dr. Riggle and Pryma)
Thanks! Hope you are enjoying your break. :)

At 6:20am on March 26, 2008, Vicki Davis said…: I really enjoyed the introduction video. That was an excellent quality camera -- what type was it?

At 11:18pm on March 21, 2008, Crystal said…: Is it bad that the format of your page is completely switched up, yet you did not touch it?
Because my profile used to be in the side bar, and my friends section used to be in the main column, and so and so forth.
I kind of liked it better the old way.

At 6:02am on March 20, 2008, Crystal said…: Hey Mr. Bretag. I go to one of the Glenbrooks. We will be seeing a lot of each other, as I am disabled when it comes to technology and you are the "samurai" of it as Mr. Morgan puts it (although if you were the kind of samurai we are learning about in social studies, then you would be feudal vassal who oppresses peasants and makes sure he knows how kill)
Anyways I will probably see you tomorrow.
