Introduction to Computer Survival Tips


Hey, you people thought I was gone, but here I am, on the Web (or the Web 2.0/Read-Write Web).
I want this site to be a place for Brooklyn teachers to check first when they are having computer problems. The blog environment allows you Brooklyn teachers a place to post your questions and HELP statements. I'll be checking the site daily. Some of your questions may be answered through a post here, so check back often.
Just think of it as the Web equivalent of the big Batman signal in the sky. :)

Great Resources to Check Out in the Summer

Although you may not be able to view YouTube through the school website, there ARE some great educational videos available from home to check out. If you find a good one to use, you may be able to share it with your students by going to this site: Zamzar
This site enables you to convert files from one format to another (for instance, change from Mac format to Windows format), but they also advertise a way to save the video to use in the classroom.
For videos that are already available to teachers, try TeacherTube
Check it out, you don't have to reinvent the wheel!
