Module 7

Hello all,

I have had my enthusiasm for ICT refired by this course and find myslef once again using tools that I have not used for a while - eg podcasts. The use of Skype is a good one, but is affected on occasion by issues of speed (bandwidth) here in Melbourne! We seem to have a very slow boradband here in Australia. BUT I do use it when needed. It does open up my students to global points of view.

Hope you all have found the course as enriching as i have!
