Can a train jump hurdles?
Let's hope so.
The gee whiz updates for today aren't really new developments so much as older developments I haven't yet posted about on this site.
And I've got about 10 minutes to post about them before leaving for work, so I'm going to try and keep the peanut gallery comments to a minimum.
The first interesting note to make is that one of Connected Classroom's main competitors - TeacherWeb - has a patent pending on its site. This patent may or may not present a huge problem for Connected Classrooms. Upon a little further research, the patent seems to deal with TeacherWeb's user interface, and before too long into this project, I'll need to make sure that Mary Ann's website doesn't utilize any patented devices.
That could be the monkey wrench to end all monkey wrenches.
Another interesting note is that Mary Ann informed me this week that she and Jason Mark - the Persons School web design instructor, as well as the founder of Gravity Switch and co-creator of Connected Classrooms - are planning to reinvent Connected Classrooms.
This, I think, is a fantastic idea in general. However, this leaves me wondering whether to proceed with studies considering the OLD Connected Classrooms or the NEW Connected Classrooms.
Elaine suggested I use the mockups for the new version of the site, and I agree, but I don't have word as of yet whether or not those mockups are available. Hopefully Mary Ann will be able to shed some light on what stage of the reinvention we're currently at. If it's all hypothetical at this point, I may have to use the old version of the site merely out of necessity.
