Using U-Tubes and Google Chrome

If anyone else is as backwards as I am in these matters, I just want to point out that if you use U-Tubes in class, and you have gotten the message that U-Tube is going to phase out your engine, you can upgrade from Google to Google Chrome without having to get an administrator to approve this upgrade. U-Tube will be supported by Google Chrome, among other engines.

Twiducate.com - a social network for educators

I wanted to share with all of you a new site being beta tested called twiducate.com. The site allows teachers to create their own social network for each class that they teach. As many of us have expressed concern about using Facebook due to privacy issues, this site overcomes that by making each particular twiducate page private. I am testing it in my winterim class (as well as testing using Twitter to deliver daily journal assignments). My class page number is 9230. Love to get your thoughts!
