I had set my heart on Ning and it was the 1 place you did not mention I want to embed Power Point slide show and put on samples of kids work. Want to send teachers that were on the conference that have requested stuff from me to view things and want to start enlisting more teachers. Is Ning not so hot?

I started a wiki yesterday on "early Man" and am also very excited - view the pages at http://springfieldearlyman.pbwiki.com/ -- You will probably have to be a PB wiki user or try using the login key "veritas" without the "'s! The girls are tremendously excited about having access to the resources and to uploading wherever they are (home/school) and are working in pairs. You might have to view all pages at the bottom to find my pages - let me know what you think. I'm still working on the materials. Do you know of any anthropologists we can bring in as "specialists"? These are Gd 5's....

My delicious account is carbru e.g.http://del.icio.us/carbru

Great to hear from you. My "normal" e-mail is carolynn@bruton.wcape.school.za (home) or carbru@sfc.wcape.school.za (school)
Regards,
Caro

I have done some C in Ed courses but because I have no homours degree I was unable to register for her Masters courses. Are you enjoying your course? You sound so lively and excited about your work. I could certainly fill in your Jnr comp Ed gaps as that is what I have pursued for many years. I have also known Brenda for a number of years having met her at a conference in Natal about 8 years ago.

Unfortunately our school web page has recetly been upgraded (by management and marketing) and most of my doanloadable resources were linked to it (and my web-based projects of 10+ years). However, if this had not happened then I would not have pursued web 2.0 with such excitement. Is maintaining a blog part of your M Ed requirements?

Regards,
Carolynn

Maggie and I worked together on eMerge conference in July last year. I've been learning stuff from her ever since. Have you joined her ICT4champions group?

At 6:28am on November 5, 2007, Carolynn Bruton said…: Great to find a South African here Maggie - wow you have some exciting blogs - very inspirational as I am staggering along trying to find my web 2.0 feet. Where are you based? A school, an NGO? Couldn't work it out The Springfield High is hilarious as that is the name of my school, thoughI'm in the Junior domain. Regards,

Here I am investigating yet another great tool for teaching and learning!! This is like being given free access to the sweetie shop and we can choose whatever we please. The trick is to not get sick....

So what does this new tool (ning) offer that other platforms do not? Well, that is why I am here, to find out, play around, and enjoy the ride....
