DV for Teachers

“Tryst is an amazing video streaming solution that allows you to broadcast the movies and video clips that reside on your computer over Bonjour (nee Rendezvous) to others on your network so you can share them just because, or watch them and comment on them together! One VersionTracker reviewer said it best ”...it’s like iTunes sharing but for movies!” You can even have a private viewing by using the password protection feature.”

This could work in Cobb County, allowing network sharing and discussion of video clips among students in more than one classroom, without having to set up a projector: clips of the principal, student-made videos, clips on volcanoes and rainforests and the Oregon trail. Now combine this with blogs for the students, RSS feeds of them for their teachers and parents, teacher blogs with RSS feeds as well, and… well, the possibilities are fascinating.——-

Looks like iBooks may be on the way to a metro Atlanta county school system:
“Three Cobb County school board members and Apple representatives were on hand Wednesday for the first of four community meetings, designed to educate the public and answer their questions about the laptop computer program. The majority of the comments at the meeting were from people in favor of the initiative, which would provide laptops to teachers and middle and high school students.

The school board votes March 9.”
