Paul Allison you wrote: "I’m trying to decide if this is a reasonable commute", 15 miles is a long way to commute. Will you be biking? Last year I had a 9 mile commute each way and it was perfect for biking. This year I only have 4 miles each way, to short!

[Soojin](/1382) Have you ever tried Garageband? Sometimes, the simplicity of Garageband is a good thing. 10th grade- I’ll fix that in space.
-
06:09:33 pm on April 13, 2008 |
[Soojin](/1378) Technical issues. Sorry to hear that! I was hoping you’d submit one of your techno synth tracks as an mp3. Do you use Garageband?

[Tyrone](/1283) I’m not familiar with any. We should tweet a request for good badge making sites via Twitter!
-
11:28:59 am on April 5, 2008 |
[Tyrone](/1280) I haven’t seen a YT badge. That’s a great idea. If you find one/make one I’d post it on my website and on space.
-
11:09:12 am on April 5, 2008 |
[Soojin](/1265) You can post your music. Why would it be a problem under Creative Commons? [Lindsea](/1273) [Hannah](/1262) & Rebecca have space submissions!

Hi Mr. Allison. Do you subscribe to the RSS feed for every post that is created on this site? That’s what I’m doing. Once I have students signed up I feel that I should follow the RSS feed for all posts.
Also, can we remove or delete users from this site if we need to? My students are registering on their own. Creating their own usernames and passwords. If one of my students doesn’t play by the rules, can I delete their account, even though I do not have their username/password info?
-
04:04:35 pm on February 5, 2008 |
@Paul Allison Ian just left! We’ll be in touch Wed. That would be COOL to have students set up the Skype chat. My students are looking to share their upcoming Darfur project with others. I’ll have them tweet tomorrow.

I will be slowly adding students to Youth Twitter.com…. I want to make sure that students understand that this is another public space, just like their blogs. All the rules that apply to everything else we do online apply here.

Hi. I teach 8th grade English in the DC area. I’m going to have a few students sign up to Youth Twitter to see if we can connect and share. Thanks for making this possible. It’s a great idea!
