Mike, my two replies just got caught in the school's spam filter...I have no idea what that's about, but here's what I replied to you. Maybe you'll get it this way. I sent a note to the nospam address and told them we were communicating ... hope that helps.
I'd love to help, Mike. I'm not trying to replicate the work of people like Jane Hart. My blog is going to focus on stories about people using the tools and how they're doing it in ways that serve learners more effectively and also provide for a fair financial exchange for the teachers.
I'll look forward to your question and to hearing more of your thoughts. I'm not a big fish...just a very passionate one. I love your outreach... And I'm particularly fond of people who teach non-native speakers of English. I'm certified to do that, too... and have taught over in Switzerland at the Leysin American School in years past.
I'm very interested in how you experience the internet from over there... and how you're using it to expand opportunities for your learners...
I also want to invite you to participate in a free, online course I'm offering through the LearnHub, if you're interested. It's called Jumpstart Your Online Teaching Career and it will include a live session on WizIQ in about three weeks. Want me to send you an invitation through the LearnHub? If so, let me know what email address would be best to use.
I'm also involved in a new site that's neither a Ning nor a Wiki that has tremendous possibilities for collaborative learning. If you'll send me your email address, I'll invite you. You can reach me at mawstoolbox@gmail.com or leave me a comment at my blog at MAWS TOOLBOX
Hey Mike, I just left you a question related to your comment about Jane's tools... finding your other comment I want to connect directly here with you as a colleague. I'm really interested to hear about your experience using Web2 in China if you have a little time to share your thoughts about the questions I posted there. I'm guessing it would be valuable to all of us here to incorporate your perspective into our thinking about the world-wide-ness of the Web2 revolution...
