    Hi Arlene! Thanks so much for "inviting" me. I've already started looking around, and I'm so impressed! It's exciting to find other people that share the enthusiasm for technology. BTW - Isa ordered the Ipen for me today! I can't wait to use it in my class

    Hi again. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for a good RSS site to register with?

    Arlene, your classes podcasts are adorable! So, so cute and funny and wonderful. I haven't thought much about using podcasts in school... what kind of microphone do you use to record the students? To check if I'm getting the idea right.. a podcast is simply an audio file we put up on the web somehow, probably in my case a class blog? I think I can figure that out : )

    I really like your comment on the 'forum' item 'research that shows technology supprts student achievement.

    We have a new curriculum in the UK for 11 year olds from Sept 2008, we are trying to develop the 'collaborate' aspects of ICT content. A useful link is http://curriculum.qca.org.uk/

    Best wishes, Richard

    That sounds really interesting, I will ask some of the schools I work in when we return after a weeks break.

    Thanks in advance
