[CALIBK12] K12HSN edZone

[Thomas Kaun]

Hi, Everyone.

At a recent CTAP Region IV meeting we were introduced to the new *edZone*site, <
http://www.k12hsn.org/edzone/>, a project of the K12 High Speed Network
project which gives secure access throughout the state to lots of Web 2.0
tools. The site describes itself as follows:

"The California K-12 High Speed Network (K12HSN) is offering a comprehensive
set of tools to support teaching and learning in California classrooms. This
free suite of tools, edZone, currently includes blogging, videoconference
scheduling and a file sharing system where educators can upload videos,
podcasts, images and documents. EdZone is an excellent tool to share lesson
ideas, upload student learning objects, disseminate best practices, and
more! Make sure you take advantage of these free resources provided by the
California K-12 High Speed Network and the California Department of
Education.

EdZone will soon be expanded to include Instant Messaging, Moodle, Wikis,
Social Networking, Moodle-an online course management system and other Web
2.0 tools to enhance today's classroom environment. Watch for these new
tools in Summer 2008!"

Take a look and see what you think. I'm sure it will take some tweaking to
make it work for all of us but it seems to be a one-stop-shop for lots of
the kinds of tools which School Library Learning 2.0 has been teaching us
all about.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day,
something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else
would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of
unanimity.
