I've spent the better part of the day networking and scoping out places on the web I've been meaning to check out for Web 2.0 resources and collaboration. So here I am haha. Now I just have to get some stuff on my page....
Hi! How is the Wilkes/Discovery Grad program coming along? I just received information from them about the IT program today. How many hours per week do you work on it? Do you like the format?
Hi Sue,
Just checking in to see how your 23 things are going? It is taking me much longer than I'd thought to get mine done. I was hoping to have it ready sooner but haven't gotten caught up in the design and details. If you have any great tips to share, let me know. :)
Thanks for the offer, Sue. I'd love to join a Canadian forum. I'll ask you to bear with me a bit; besides being a newbie to the site, I'm also swamped in developing resources and lessons for an online course I'm teaching. My logins are thus occasional, as I suddenly life my head and think "Drat! it's been a month!"
Hello Sue,. I just spoke to your Mum, Alison here in Melbourne, Australia and she has filled me in on your amazing learning journey. I am in the same Rotary Club as Alan and Alison and I'm a Primary Visual Arts teacher .I began teaching in 1975 and have been in the Art Specialist area for 22 years. Congratulations on your wonderful website and blog .I am excited about this Classroom 2.0 network. My passion after Art is ICT.I admire the work you and Debra are doing and think it would be wonderful if you could come out to Australia and pass the word on to Educators here. I'm sure there are ways and means to get here, we just haven't found them yet.Don't forget Rotary though. Most Clubs adopt a school of some kind and you might find they can help you.Hope we'll eventually get to meet.Cheers, Yvonne

Hi Sue,
We all work from three different schools. The idea of teachers working from home continues to be an issue that comes up. Our presence in a school benefits that school because of the way funding works. We haven't tried a peer tutoring course - maybe we should!
Students here use our wiki, blog and elluminate live as our primary community building tools.
Thanks for the comment about my website of the week posters Sue. I have really been racking my brains to think of new ways to get other staff even a tiny bit interested in anything technology related and have been really pleased with the results of these posters :) I have added a new one today.
Cheers.
Thanks for the invite Sue...even though I'm south of the border, it's great to keep in contact with my northern roots!
I'm in Atlanta GA teaching grades 1-4 in the computer lab! Best job in the school! This is my first year out of the regular classroom and it's going great! I'm looking forward to sharing ideas with anyone who is in a similar teaching position.
To all of my fellow Canadians...I made it home (Ontario) for Christmas and there's nothing better than a white Canadian Christmas!
Hi Sue, I'm over in N. Van. and yes, we have snow! A little over 2 feet accumulated before it started to melt. Great exercise shoveling.
I applaud your taking on the tech challenge and I certainly fall into the 'nearly fossiized' category. I started teaching in '69 and yes I was only 6 at the time :-)

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the invite and the initiative in organizing the 'neighbourhood'.I mostly lurk and am always scrambling to stay caught up with my day to day work, but I do believe in the idea of sharing and collaborating. Maybe tomorrow....
Hi Sue, Am currently on holiday in snowy William's Lake and away from my computer so I don't have access to photos. Promise to send links when I return home before school.
Cheers, Laura K

Hi Sue,
Thanks for pointing me to Angela's post. I've been writing over the holidays and might have missed it. A meme? Basically it's an idea that spreads like wildfire from place to place. It actually comes from the studies of memetics and thought contagion ... basically the study of how ideas spread through society, and more importantly, why certain ones stick. Some of the research around it is fascinating.
I hope all is well with you. Take care, and thanks for connecting.

Hi Sue...
Sometimes yes... we host open weekends to help people learn to use Moodle. These are free and we tend to offer these once a month. Normally we charge for our Moodle courses and we offer beginners through advanced and also some short workshop types that concentrate on Moodle topics like quizzes, gradebooks etc. More information is here: http://knowmoodle.ca/moodle/mod/book/view.php?id=3119 or you can just ask me :-)
Sue, do you teach in Surrey? I'm in the Sunshine Coast School District We are embarking on a 24/7 laptop program for our teaching staff. The startup for the project website is: . Cheers... Bob
Second time a charm... in the group and successfully mapped. As noted by Bryan below, it just needed to load earlier today and I was probably impatient. Loaded very quickly tonight.
