I just checked out your website and was really impressed. Your Flash intro is totally cool.
To reflect the sentiment of your latest blog post; it's educators like you that really make a difference. You are obviously a very dedicated teacher and in my experience that is one of the greatest things an individual can aspire to. All the best in the new school year!

I just finished a course on Web 2.0. It was exciting but overwhelming, so this is perfect for me. My favorite tools were the voicethread and delicious.

Do you know where I can start a social networking site for my extended family?

With your work in Education Technology incorporation for your community college, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

No computers/net. we are struggling for collecting basic needs like pen and paper. How can we think of 21st century style of learning here? Can u sponsor at least one computer as an inittiation? lol. then we can step on that net world.
