Announcing the Life Round Here Winners!
It’s been a LONG time in coming, and due to some really odd circumstances the judging process took much longer than expected.
That said, I am going to begin announcing one winner per day, with his or her story embedded below. I would love it if a group of folks would watch and comment on the story.
Of course, you can see all the projects from all the schools by visiting the Life Round Here wiki and looking for the link to completed projects (or follow those links!).
Keep a watch out here for the winners!
Vimeo – time left converting indicator
I don’t know about you, but when I’m uploading video to one of those other video hosting services (to remain nameless) it’s frustrating to see just an “encoding” label slapped on a video. I end up hitting refresh to see if it’s done!
Today I am experimenting with Vimeo, after seeing Shareski use it. He’s my inspiration for a lot lately.
I came across this screen, which moves when it’s not a screenshot, and was so pleasantly refreshed.
Now if only it will accept this darn .wmv file that Fliqz has rejected time after time.
Life Round Here Update
The project deadline was theoretically October 31. We’re being intentionally loose about folks publishing the stories since this project is much more about student learning than high stakes deadlines.
That said, so far 13 schools have posted six stories. Wow! That’s (doing the math) 78 stories!
Here is a snapshot of the completed projects thus far…
With more on the way, I think!
Another fun something, DK from Mediasnackers contacted me about featuring a story or two from CrossRoads in his latest vodcast. You can find Episode 11 of the ever-wonderful Mediasnackers Vodcast page. Thanks to DK for featuring one of our stories!
Go watch some of the stories, so that you can see the amazing work our kids are doing! Also feel free to spread the word, folks are always looking for examples of real-life student projects, and here are some!
http://chriscraft.pbwiki.com is the main page, and then you can click on completed projects to see the schools that have published. Good stuff!
Life Round Here – stories beginning to emerge!
Curious as to how the Life Round Here project is turning out?
Well, the wait is over, some of the schools are posting stories and they are ready for you to watch!
Click the image for the entire list, and check back often (or better yet, subscribe to the page feed!)
PbWiki makes Life Round Here easier!
PbWiki announced a new feature that I think is fantastic, and the implementation is just great. Any page you tag with template will show up when you click create a new page.
For me, that’s darn nice. For Life Round Here participants, that’s really nice.
All you have to do now is log in with your contributor login (remember to use the my.pbwiki.com page to make it easier) and then click on Create a New Page. Once you do that, you’ll see this screen…
Use the indicated one and you’ll be automatically set up with the exact format we want! Good stuff, just good stuff.
