About
Educating the dragon is not referring to my mother or mother-in-law or even the kids in my class. The Dragon is me. It’s a reference to my Welsh heritage. It is my intention to plot my learning over the next 12 months as I get myself fully integrated into the Kiwi wayAdditional blurb from the Learning@schools07 conference:Originally from the UK I have been teaching in Flaxmere for the last couple of years. I am an avid supporter of incorporating technologies into the learning environment and the result it has on classroom practice.

Subject: Invitation to join the Graspr Educational Network
Hello,
Graspr is the new instructional video network for educators that makes online instructional videos available to students everywhere. By uploading your instructional videos on Graspr, teachers and webmasters can embed them on their school websites to complement the teaching curriculum.
My name is Colin Pappas, and I am a business development associate at Graspr, Inc. We are seeking credentialed educators interested in leveraging online video to enhance learning, and I invite you to join our quickly growing network of educators. You will earn income from advertising generated around your videos.
Why Graspr?
Graspr is the only site where learners, users, and creators of videos can edit, watch, collaborate on, and syndicate to make money from instructional videos. Since launch in September 2007, Graspr has sourced and filtered over 20,000 high-quality instructional videos from leading producers and experts across major lifestyle markets, including K-12 Education.
Members of the Graspr network, which is free to join, earn income in three ways: by uploading videos, by embedding videos on their websites or blogs, and by referring new members who subsequently upload or embed videos. The revenue-share model is simple: advertising revenue generated from videos gets shared between the uploader, the embedder, Graspr, and the Graspr member who may have referred the uploader or embedder.
Four simple steps to get you started:
1. Go to http://www.graspr.com
2. Click “Register” at the top right of the page to create an account.
3. Complete your profile (include a picture if you would like to be Featured on our homepage)
4. Click “Upload” to upload your videos to Graspr. Use our new desktop uploader to upload up to 5 videos simultaneously.
I will be here to help you at any point along the way or answer any questions you may have. We look forward to joining our network of dedicated educators. Feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Regards,
Colin Pappas
Graspr Business Development Associate
