The PPS-FF is an annual showcase of media-projects created by Portland
Public School students. The projects are usually created in conjunction with a class or school-related activity, and/or in collaboration with a PPS teacher(s).
The Festival was created in 2000 by two middle-school media teachers,
Phil Walker and Matt Gilley. Email them at mgilley@pps.k12.or.us or plwalker@pps.k12.or.us

TED: Ideas Worth Sharing -- Amazing Website!!
I'm not even sure how I found this - but you need to visit www.ted.com
According to their site: "TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). "
They have videotaped these conferences over the years and the speakers are amazing and include everyone from Isabel Allende to Peter Gabriel to Jane Goodall. You can even download the videos as mp3 audiofiles.
I have listened to about 10 of them and I have particularly enjoyed Jill Bolte Taylor video - she is a scientist that studies the brain and one day woke up and slowly realized she was having massive stroke.

IF ONLY...
I saw a story on the news the other night about Bishop Hartley High School. The school gave PC Tablet laptops to all of their seniors. The school is wireless and their textbooks are already loaded on the laptop. As teachers are lecturing, they can push lecture notes and embedded videos to the students. And students can jot down notes with a stylus right onto the tablet screen. Cool!!
I realize that circumstances are different in PPS, but if only we had the money....
Check out this video!!
