@Herky, Ah well, I tried!

@David, you are so right! Stealing is, of course, a bad thing, and sharing is good. This new ethic of the Creative Commons has such far-reaching implications. I wonder where it will take us in the next decade. Seems government is behind the curve on this one.

I will enjoy ’stealing’ this from you Jan!

We have entered a new era where we give away and share ideas that we once coveted. But the language is stuck with old terms. ‘Stealing’ makes as much sense as ‘cc’ for an e-mail. Do we really carbon-copy e-mails?

I look forward to sharing more with you in the future, thank you for sharing this great class project!

@ J.D. Thanks for pointing out authorstream. For some reason it won’t play nice on my PC (neither will TeacherTube). I have also just seen 280Slides, which seems to have many cool features, too. Ahh, choices!

@Ann, the power of the network continues to refresh to me again and again. I talked with my administrator about how there are so few opportunities to network close to home. I am imagining some other teacher within a few miles of me doing the same stuff, but we just haven’t connected yet.

@Great to meet you, Linda! I enjoy your blog (mega rich with resources and ideas) and I will be adding your 5/6s to our class blogroll.

I am thinking of turning each of the slides into posters using BigHugeLabs’ Flickr Toys motivational posters generator. Having the agreements to refer to in the classroom will keep them front and center I hope.

Consider this idea “stolen”. I will also share it with my colleagues (I’ve delicioused it for them) and I’m now off to check out authorstream suggested by JD Williams above. I love networking!

I feel so energized when I find ideas that are shared by other teachers online. I remember walking through the halls of a local public school two years ago. I was doing the same type of inferring and “idea stealing”. It’s so much better now that I have this wonderful network of sharing, creative individuals online. I love the slideshare!

If you like slideshare.net I’d suggest looking into authorstream.com

I’ve been using it for my lessons this year because you can add narrations and set transition times then play them online. It even changes the Power Point into a video that you can download through iTunes or put on YouTube.

SlideShare is great though too.

Jan,

I’ll be sharing your students’ work with my class, not in an endless loop, but as a spiral into understanding.

I love the idea of building off each other’s work!

Thanks for expanding my original concept.
