Teachers Teaching Teachers #161 – 07.29.09 – Summer Special: Submitting Your Own Docs Templates, Japan, and Digital Storytelling
"We squeezed three shows into one," Peggy George said in the chat room toward the end of the webcast. It’s a summer special!
At the beginning of this podcast [0:44 – 18:52] Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim talk to three Google managers and engineers about a new Docs feature: being able to upload our own templates. We were joined by:
- Ronald Ho, a Google Docs Product Manager
- Michael Thomas and Valerie Blechar, Google Docs Templates Engineers
Next up [18:53 – 29:29] are three people from The East-West School of International Studies (EWSIS), Ben Sherman, Principal. Paul Allison teaches English at EWSIS, and he is joined in the second part of this podcast by his colleague and two students who had just returned from a 10-day visit to Japan which was sponsored by Women Welcome Women World Wide:
Finally we find some (although not nearly enough) time [29:30 – 36:21] to talk with Larry Newberger, Tech Liaison for the Ozarks Writing Project (OWP). Larry was excited to report on a 5-day OWP Advanced Institute on Digital Storytelling, "Trachers Traversing the Technology Highway," that he had just finished. Don’t miss their teachers’ Digital Stories and VoiceThreads.
