If I can be of any further help with my eFolio tool, if you want an evaluation or want to set up a pilot group please let me know.
Best Wishes,

So lucky for you! I am still trying to get Ning and blogs unblocked as well as iLife enabled on our student computers. So I know exactly how you feel and now you are free it of! Wow! Are you familiar with the flat classroom projects? I have been trying to get involved for two years ... since we last chatted :) .... and trying to get things unblocked etc. so that we could participate. But nothing changed except my attitude -- I just joined a project anyway and the kids work from home. We can access the wiki at school but that is all. IT is challenging but the rewards are unbelievable. You must check them out. Google flat classrooms or the project we are working on now is called NetGenEd (Net Generation Education) with the author Dan Tapscott.
As principal, will you teach in the classroom at all or how will that work. Let me know if you want to set something up between our students!

- Hi, thornybe ... sorry it has take me so long to get back to you (2 years) :)
Anyway, yes I am a middle school science teacher. Are you still teaching science? I am trying to incorporate Nings and wikis .... have done a flat classroom project and am trying to figure out how to better tweak these tools for science. How about you!

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this virtual ning network is no exception. My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you worked at a middle school, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales

Shirleen said… - Hi! I am in Kenai, Alaska. I will soon be teaching. I am still in college. Hopefully next fall I will be student teaching, and then I will have my own class. It would be fun to teach the future though ;)
Istanbul is very far away!
