Ed Tech:

I recently created a media center for my home out of an El Gato PVR, Newer Technology MiniStack, and 1.66 Ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini. I then created and implemented a similar system for Central Catholic High School's hallway kiosk video system. You can read about it here.

Here is a graduate school project that was recently completed.  It is an online tutorial that details the process of ripping audio from a CD, editing that audio in an audio editor, and burning the edited audio back to a recordable CD.

Here is a project that was created for Regina Coeli School.  It is a web-based newscast for the eighth graders who take part in the school newspaper program.

Here is another project that was created for Regina Coeli School.  This is a video correspondence project with a school in Mexico. The students of Regina Coeli corresponded with the students of Centro Escolar del Lago. They did this by posting videos onto the world wide web asking and answering each others questions.
