Cool Cat Teacher Blog
• A good teacher never makes excuses. A good
teacher always makes the best of a situation. A
good teacher pursues excellence. I will be
excellent as I learn from NECC.
The same teachers and technology
administrators who learn from NECC virtually
are probably also the same ones that teach
incredible things on older technology. "Excuse"
is not in our vocabulary. "Do it," is.

Blogs vs. Wikis
Web logs are great vehicles for an
interactive exchange of ideas between a
handful of people, but blogs are not as
effective when a large number of people
want to collaborate, contribute, and easily
find information on a given topic. That's
when you need a wiki.

What is a Wiki?
• A collaborative web tool for two or more
people to work on a document
• Wiki-wiki" means "hurry quick" in
Hawaiian.
