We have just sent out 4 netbook mobile carts with OpenOffice software- yet another great Sandbox application to gather teachers and/or students to explore OpenOffice and share our discoveries. I always enjoy your work and look forward to ClickSmart. Thank you for your comment!

It is low threat, high exploration, high experimentation mode with whatever tool is at hand, and is part of my upcoming book ClickSmart as it relates to software. But as you've so eloquently put here, sandboxing is important to do with just about anything! Excellent thoughts! Sandboxing is ESSENTIAL.

Kathy, I love the idea allowing the student to choose the pictures and then share why he chose it. I am familiar with Scratch and thought that the intro time might be too long for our short time together- but perhaps not! I will have a Scratch after-school group again and will suggest he attend- the collaboration piece alone will allow him to make more social connections. Thanks!

Maybe search for the pictures with <a href="http://www.forestandthetrees.com/findr/findr.html" rel="nofollow">Findr</a> or <a href="http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/related_tag_browser/app/" rel="nofollow">Flickr Related Tag browser</a> Another tool you might want to investigate is Scratch, from MIT (http://scratch.mit.edu/) Lots of conversation would be needed to explore how it works, and then little media scenarios including text and simple voice recording could be the result. I hope you'll keep us posted on developments! Would it be as useful if he chose the pictures for Voicethread, and then explained why?

You might be able to utilize that with your student. It is an online whiteboard that can be shared, downloaded, drawn upon, typed upon, images uploaded to from the computer or from another site.

I have stuff all over the place and no time to compile it except in some google docs folder and a few slideshares on my personal blog. This is ever so helpful for folks like me who have not had time to process it all with an organizational outcome. Thanks so much! This is indeed awesome.
