		<title>Coopetition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in a meeting today where the term &#8220;coopetition&#8221; was used and immediately started thinking about all the ways coopetition makes sense within a 21st century educational environment.
What is coopetition?
The term is a mash-up of cooperation and competition and it seems to really capture the spirit of working and learning in a global economy.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=62&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Live Lurking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we all know about online lurkers. You know, those people in a chat room, on twitter, on in the blogosphere who are happy to be reading and watching, but do not make themselves visible to those having the conversation. Sometimes it is really beneficial to be a lurker. I confess to have behaved this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=60&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Edible sites?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In celebration of National Library Week, one of our high schools hosted a contest for teachers to create &#8220;edible books.&#8221;  The idea was to create some edible representation of a book. My favorite was the cupcake Grovers for &#8220;There&#8217;s a Monster at the End of This Book&#8221;  for two reasons: first the cupcakes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=54&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Web Filters &#8211; A Poem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a web filter
We are compliant with CIPA
We do not block applications
Needed by our teachers
To teach students
In the 21st century
Our filter blocks categories
Determined by a committee
Of teachers
And technology specialists
And media specialists
And district leaders
We block sites
To protect our children
Not to block instruction
When a teacher needs access
To a site that is blocked
We Unblock it
Requests to unblock [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=53&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Telling a PhotoStory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are a dual-platform district. Most of our elementary schools have Macs while most of the secondary schools are PC sites.  I have heard the glories of iMovie for years now and how our schools are using it for digital storytelling. Some schools are buying Macs just so that they can have this functionality. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=52&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Evaluating social bookmarking sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Ross White from LearnNC asked me today on Twitter what value Diigo has over other social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us.  So I thought I would look closely at the two sites to see what I could determine. Both are considered to be social bookmarking sites. However, Diigo goes a step further. Diigo is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=51&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Adding Shelfari to my PLN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[David Warlick illustrated his PLN (Personal Learning Network) and really captured the concept well. Since I am currently in the Shelfari exploration mode, I wanted to investigate how I could use this web 2.0 app to expand my own PLN.
The way I find new books to read is by looking at what others are reading. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pargonet.wordpress.com&blog=275624&post=50&subd=pargonet&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
