Good to cyber-meet you, Deb.

Welcome Deb, join me on group DigiSkills as well if you want to!
Cheers

Hiya - I'd be happy to be of any help that I can with your planned implementation of Moodle.

The moodle discussion you started got in twice somehow, so I deleted one of them. :) Hope that's OK!

Hi Deb...are you going to any of the summer conferences?

hands full? yes, there's plenty to do. Some schools are really active, other less so. I go with the flow. As of June 1, there is another person to share the 30 high schools but the sharing hasn't started yet. There's plenty to go 'round

It's a living.

Hi Deb,

Lovely to meet you too and Tommy (my 4-year-old Australian Terrier) says hi to Mandy. He is the apple of my eye; feisty, intelligent and he makes me laugh. I am an Australian too and I posted a response to your Teaching Keyboard post yesterday and was looking forward to a response or two when I woke up this morning, but there were none. Has your post closed, should I not have put my special offer at the bottom, is it a holiday in the US? I am so eager for feedback on what I said

Hi Deb,

Thanks for your reply. I will do as you suggest today. It's getting late-ish over there. Sleep well . . . and maintain the rage!

Cheers,
Georgie

Deb, I'm beating the drum for a new group on e-learning: http://classroom20.ning.com/group/elearning

Hi Deb! I just noticed your comment from June 4th! Did I not get back to you? If so, I am so sorry! :( How can I help? Your question was about Susan's Classroom 2.0 map.

Hi Deb,

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!

Thanks,

Alyshia Olsen

Hi Deb. I was wondering if any of your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some other educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hey no worries, Deb. The video contest is over, but MIT was so happy with the results that we're now running another contest. This time, instead of making videos, we're asking kids to make their own custom flashcards. Submission due date is 5/22. Check it out here: brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Perhaps your colleagues/students would be interested?
