Cheers, Maggi, and thanks for the collegial invite!
Hey, you probably already know about his stuff, but, I have a blog on Edublogs, and so does Larry Ferlazzo, and ESL/ELL educator in California. Anyway, Larry has the most extensive Web 2.0 resources linked off his blog than any place I have ever seen. For what it's worth.
My name is Alyshia Olsen; 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. Since you are in the 'e-learning and online teaching' group, 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, 2009, 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 a competition for startup funding 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 at 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!
Hello Maggi I was really interested to read your comments about using the virtual classroom in Korea. Have you used videoconferencing with other countries? We worked with a school in Korea when one of my friends from Australia was there. It was a great success but she has now returned to Australia and our connections are lost.

I can't open your wiki but I will try again. I have video on youtube.com where you can view my e-classes.

If you read my Wiziq post on my page in classroom 2.0, I explain Wiziq.
But here are some other links that will help explain Wiziq more.
