Goalbook

There's an interesting new website that is set to release in the Fall, goalbook.  You can watch a video of it at http://enomeinc.com/.  After watching the video I'm thinking it's a blend of Facebook and IEP tracking software.  It's seems like it could be a great way to follow goals.  Feel free to leave some feedback for the developer, I know I suggested that they look at a way to take data and create graphs.  I'll be interested in seeing what they come up with!

Facebook for Parents

Facebook has become a very large part of many people's lives, both adults and teens!  Like any new thing, the Kids might know more about how to use it then their parents.  Leaving aside the safety risks (which can be minimized) there are ways to allow children/students use it productively.

Larry Magid has created a very comprehensive document called Facebook for Parents.  This document which is updated on a regular basis covers all of the safety and privacy settings for Facebook.  They even include a cheat sheet for suggested settings for teens - Suggested Settings.  There is a lot more information contained in the document, and I think a good read for any parent of a teenager or upcoming teenager!

PhotoPeach

Anne Marie of Talking SMARTBoards & Much More posted a great site called Photo Peach. PhotoPeach is an easy way to create photo slide shows. You can upload photos from your computer, or use photos from you Facebook or Picasa account (Flickr seems to have some issues as of right now). You can then add music to your slideshow. You can pick from pre-selected music, or even borrow songs from Youtube.

It's a easy site to use, and makes a great slideshow. You can also share files, or embed them in other websites (Facebook, blogs, etc...). Here's a short one that I created in about 5 min.
