I have known since sometime in early December that come February 15, I would be teaching 3-75 minute sessions (the same thing three times) to the GMHS staff. My assigned topic in early December was Blogs, Wikis and Podcasts.

If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. We'd really like to get students involved from Colorado!

You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

I come back to a Yr 9 Flash 'Moving Pictures' ten week course, Yr 10 Multimedia - Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, 3D Studio Max 20 week course, Yr 8 Drama and Yr 11 Craft. Seems pretty enjoyable so far. Am missing the daily adventure though. Oh and being an Aussie rock star wherever I go! Thanks for this way of communicating!

I'm thinking about the Voicethread you've put together and trying to decide what I might add.
