Welcome to the bird house - Your Source for Geekybird Stuff!
Over the year’s I’ve posted PowerPoint presentations, Word Docs, and more on the streaming A-Z blog but found that they can be hard to find the more I post.
So that said, I’m going to use this page to post resources that I have created or collected from my tech friends. I’ll try to keep them in a themed area and somewhat organized. Feel free to download these resources and make them yours!

Good to see you here too, Matt. “Geekybird,” huh? This might be a good place to post that “egg” picture I got of you in Berkeley.

Hey Matt,
I was recently at the Day of Discovery for DCPS educators and was wondering when you were planning to post the PowerPoint on embedding videos. I can’t remember how to insert the navigation bar at the bottom of the video once in PowerPoint that allows you to puase/play/stop/etc. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lauren Castillo

Matt,
I attended the Day of Discovery at our local ROE center last Sat. I am looking for the one page “how-tos” you showed us and haven’t had any success. Where did I go wrong? Thanks!

Terrific. You saved me about 20 hours of thought and prep time for new Web 2.0 apps!!!!

I attended the training session for MCPS on Friday afternoon.
Unforunately, my log-on is still a trial version. I am unable to view videos.
Can this be changed. We tried during training, but it has not taken yet.

Dear Matt,
Many thanks for your presentation this afternoon. I’ll enjoy many hours of trying to produce interesting content for my third graders.

From reading these comments, I think I would have liked to go to the Day of Discovery. Is this a repetitive thing? Will it happen again soon? I don’t think I saw anything advertising it, but would love to look into attending if it is not too late this year. I haven’t been on this site before although I live by using video streaming in my 6th grade science and social studies classrooms. Thanks for providing this content for us to use!

Hi Matt!
I was trying to figure out a way to best train myself on our site and I am finding your GeekyBird blog an excellent start! Thanks! Carol
