    Thanks for sharing with us in SF about WiZIQ! I'll be checking it out.
  • Adam Blackwood

    Interesting Mark. Thanks for the 'heads up'.
  • Ian Grove-Stephensen

    Hi Mark, thanks for directing my attention to WizIQ. I'm mystified as to why you guys have not contacted me before. Yacapaca has (from a rough calculation) more registered members than all your strategic partners put together. I feel sure we could do something to introduce them to this great tool.
  • Julie Baird

    Thanks, Mark. I've glanced at this site a few times but haven't had the time yet to explore it and see what's there. I have it bookmarked but don't know when I'll get to it. The next few weeks are unfortunately packed with school obligations.
  • Dennis O'Connor

    Hi Mark, I've given WizIQ the once over, but haven't used it enough to have a sound opinion. I like that it's a one stop shop for teachers who want to put their courses online. The learning curve isn't as steep as full scale course management systems like Blackboard or Moodle.

    You can't beat the price!
  • Susan Brooks

    Thanks, Mark! Looking forward to learning new things here. Have been working lately with webex. similar to wiziq with some extra stuff. maybe your guys can add some of those things! :P

    Aloha e Mark,
    Mahalo for commenting and pointing me to WizIQ. I just registered and will check it out in detail soon. It looks great. Boy it's good to hear from a Crusader. I just left STL after 18 years. My husband is going on 24 years there. Keep in touch.

    Aloha Mark,

    I have been meaning to re visit at WizIQ and will put it on my schedule! I am in the process of revamping the means by which I provide a Virtual Classroom to the students at 2Think2Learn.com Virtual ed has come a long way this year and it is exciting to see the innovation that is taking place daily! Thanks for keeping in touch.

    Kind Regards

    Thanks for the suggestion given, Mark. I'll take a look and try to include it as part of my lesson for the new term to come.
  • IndyEduktr

    Thanks, Mark. I will head there right now. I just returned from a meeting telling some of our social studies teachers that we wouldn't be adopting new textbooks this year. As you can imagine, it didnt' go so well, nonetheless, I must find ways to suppor them as we "undo" textbooks.
  • Lance Winslow

    Indeed, this looks like one of the componets as we design the educational future.

    Thanks for the info Mark. I will be sure to check them out. Always looking for great things for my teachers to share with their kiddos!
  • Paul McMahon

    Thanks for this Mark. Had a good look at WizIQ in the earlier days but found it to be very slow here in Hong Kong. Hove you considered local hosting to move forward with this Mark?
    There is a lot of use of locally hosted platforms here with lots of uptake. Unfortunately it is all part of a blended model. There is still not a culture of using online as the sole method of learning in HK. It will change but not tomorrow!
    Cheers

  • Pamela AuCoin

    Hi Marc,
    We do use authorstream but I do need to take a look at WiziQ again.
  • Jonathan

    Hi Marc,
    Excellent resources.
    We are working with www.ziizoo.com which combines a virtual classroom and a rating system.
    cheers!
