Commonsensemedia.org, with Emily Hunt, joins the SEEDLINGS group for a discussion about Media, Internet and how savvy our tweens and teens are these days.  Emily shares great data with us and reminds us that it is not about punishment, not about preaching, but rather it is about being informed and knowledgeable about the media we are involved in. Adults need to be involved in conversations with all youth about media, advertising, movies, websites, social networks and gaming. Commonsensemedia.org provides just the framework necessary to stay informed! Join us.

 We're joined by Wes Fryer- Live in Maine the Magical Show! Anne Fraser counted the word magical used 4, 586 times throughout the show. See if you come up with the same number! We had a great conversation in the EdTechTalk studio with Wes Fryer. The conversations were about Race to the Top, Apple's new product release, Maria Knee, and the upcoming workshop at Wells Junior High School.
