Beyond just teaching a technology class — I actually use it to entertain myself.  I use Twitter, Google Reader, Classroom 2.0 (a social network designed for educators), Facebook, iGoogle, and several other resources to have content delivered to me that I might find interesting.  Last night I had the following video sent to me (via Google Reader) with the suggestion that it could be used within the classroom as an activity designed to stimulate creative thinking.  So here it is, a clip from ”Shaun the Sheep”

So now I want to see if it really can provide a creative opportunity for the classroom.  Please, using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, create a story to go with the video.  Use your imagination and all the creativity you can muster to put it together.  Then, when done, let me know and I will help you post the story as a comment to this post (just as we did earlier in the week on Mr. Lane’s Computer Applications/Web 2.0 Blog).  Happy writing!

Special thanks to Jason Renshaw of the English Raven for passing this idea along.

This Sunday, April 26, my family and I will be once again joining hundreds of others in raising money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society by participating in the MS Walk. As many of you know I was diagnosed with MS several years ago and have rebounded from the lows that I first experienced. I attribute the highs I experience today to the clinical study I am participating in that is possible, in part, because of your past support.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as I am. MS stops people from moving. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. They help people address the challenges of living with MS. They simultaneously fund research for a cure while also helping people who currently live with MS lead more fulfilling lives. I believe in the work they do, and I invite you to see for yourself all the good they’ve done for the MS community. More than 400,000 Americans live with MS, and your support can and will make changes in their lives.

Please help by making a donation – large or small – to our journey to create a world free of MS. Any amount you can give will help! Should this not be possible, I ask that you keep me and my family in your thoughts as we walk. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

To make a donation, please go to my MS Walk page.
