mrsdurff -> bad economy
Meggie C -> @jackiegerstein there is this website for loading your voice and comments online on a website called voicethread
alicebarr -> Audacityis very similar to GarageBand but Garage band has alot more tools to add music and soundtracks

alicebarr -> Then, we push it out to iTunes so people who can't ttend the live show can download it.
ColbyK -> @jackiegerstein using imovie to do a project on the topic of your choice is one of the projects that I think gives students a lot of creative freedom as well as helping students learna lot!
cyndidannerkuhn -> I am on ETTTA
jackiegerstein -> The school-prinicipal didn't know about all of these technologies and is very open - has a goal of infusing technology throughout the curriculum - Skype will be installed!
