Making Connections # 25 was all about classtools.net (something I learned about from Twitter) a cools site that allows you to create Flash games for the classroom.  We started the show with a bang and even made some new connections.  Welcome to Bill Gaskins and Shelia as first timers.  I am sorry to say about 13 minutes into the show something went very wrong with my audio recording.  But I hope what you hear gives you enough information to get you excited about the site. 

I believe the answer to virtual worlds in elementary school may be within the Edusim environment.  A protected world where educators along with their students can experiment and create learning environments. 

We had a great show sharing ideas about recent conferences and we “made new connections” with Kim and Bradley. We welcome the two of you into the EdTechTalk network.

Maria Knee joined us after accepting her Technology Using Educator Award at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference. Check out Maria’s live interview from the conference with out very own Jeff Lebow.
