RSS your family: Rapidly Synchronize Sanity

-

OK. The verdict is in, my husband and I both rate the Airset calendaring service a 10! We have used its powerful features and RSS to Rapidly Synchronize our Sanity ! Everyone loves it, from the 9 year old to the 39 year old! We have three children, ourselves, a plethora of community activities, and an extended family to keep up with. I was updating calendars and reprinting them every second and they were still outdated. Three weeks a go, I'd had it! My sitter is moving to greener (or saner) pastures and I was so overwhelmed! I spent about three hours researching family planning tools and looked at Trumba , Remember the Milk , 30 boxes , MyHomePoint , and Airset . I tried and set up calendars in a few.

Wikis, Blogs, and Podcasts this week

-
I have learned so much this week. Today, I have been in a collaborative teaching workshop which has just confirmed many of the tools that we're using in the classroom. I was so dissapointed that none of the teachers had blogs and weren't using wikis. I think we'll begin to see that changing. Here's the synopsis of my learning experience this week: 1) Podcasting using Odeo I worked out the kinks with my children at home, but I'm planning a switch to Odeo for recording and making podcasts for simple things. I recorded two ways with my nine year old. You can hear our rough but final product: Cool Cat Kidcast #1 - Gmail Cool Cat Kidcast #2 - Airset for keeping the family calendar The first one we recorded by calling a phone number. It was very easy. I can easily see how in the future, students will phone in oral reports from home for homework and they will be sent to the teacher for a listen. What a great things for auditory learners! The second podcast we reco...
