Anne Mirtschin's Comments

Hi Anne, I have realised that I have two accounts on this ning. So I'm deleting one to lessen the confusion which means I have to reinvite some friends. cheers Anne

Thanks for the welcome, Anne. I'm already feeling re-energised reading and exploring the forums/blogs/members in C2.0. Sometimes I find it hard to stay motivated when I feel like I'm the only only doing these things in my school

Hi Anne,
Thanks stopping by and saying hello. I have just read in one of your posts that you are blogging with your students. I am trying to set up blogging accounts for my students with " edublogs". Which company are you using for your blogs?

Hello Anne, nice to meet you too.

I just stumbled across a post of yours in the content and technology group. You mentioned that you had used digital story telling using photostory. I teach at the 5th grade level, ages 9-11 or so, and two teachers share about 50 students. This past school year (we're on summer break at the moment) my teaching partner and I used photostory3, as well as storytelling alice from www.alice.org, and a small project using voicethread.

One of the things that I think would be really fun to do is to eTwin with another school, particularly one from another country, and share some digital stories. If I'm not mistaken, you said you teach in Australia. If we could work it out, is this something you might be interested in doing?

Ghee Anne, thanks, I already feel at home. I like your cinematographic debut alot ;-).

Hi Anne,
thankyou for your message but there's a misundestanding. I'm from Italy, I don't teach italian. I'm a science and chemistry teacher. I'm sorry for my poor english but, you know, Italy is not famous for its school system, is it?

Hi Anne,
I think the part that i love so much is the "pay rise" and am glad you have a supportive leadership,its great news you know!
i will be starting my teaching career by September and will hopefully be teaching Biology or health science, between the age range of 14 and up in Abuja Nigeria- Abuja is the Federa Capital Territory of Nigeria.
For now i'm just making the neccessary preparations.
I appreciate you anne....

Thank you for the welcome, Anne. This is such a great space!

Hello Anne,
This project aims at European schools and is funded by the European Commission. We have partners from Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, Portugal, Italy, France and Spain. With the funding we are able to visit our partnerschools and discuss about our project. I must say that we are waiting for the approval from the commission to start the project. I think we will know the end of this month. I will keep you informed, is this OK for you ?

Hi Anne Mirtschin .I'm very intrested in open source CMS and LMS,especialy writed by PHP + Mysql.Now I'm training our country's teachers to use Moodle.

Thanks Anne for accepting my invitation!

I'm so glad to know I have a new friend. Perhaps we can have our students communicate about some hot topics during the school year. We begin in late August. I hope by then I will have a good idea of what I am doing and where to begin. My skills are questionable and negotiating time will be tricky, but I am keeping an open mind and I'm sure with people like you support is just a few clicks away! Glad to know your on board.

Hi Anne,
I didn't remember to ask,how is Australia and work over there?
i just sent you a friend request,i hope you wouldn't mind..

Hi Anne,
I have a blogging question for you. In your experience what would you say are the minimum technology access requirements to sustain blogging successfully? In my circumstances I will be lucky to get 1.5 hours of lab time/week, and I have other projects and activities in mind beyond blogging for that time, too. Many but not all of my students have access at home, but I would like this to a class strategy, not "homework"--though if they are engaged in it, I am sure they will pursue it out of school.
So, in your experience how much computer time does a 11-12 year old student need to become a successful blogger?
I appreciate you opinion on this.

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the welcome note.
i am presently preparing myself for the new job which will commence by September. I will be teaching Biology though
And i hope to learn and share so much with you on classroom 2.0

Hi Anne. Thanks for the message. My wife has some family in NSW, but we never been down under. Maybe for our 20th wedding-anniversery ? Here is a website of our next project "Let's Learn Together"

Hi Anne, Thanks for the welcome message. My favorite web 2.0 tool to use with students and teachers are wikis.

Hi Anne,
I keep "running into" you all over Classroom 2.0!
perhaps we should be friends!?

Hello again Anne, I forgot to mention that yes I use Skype for online teaching, I am currently one of the teachers on www.myngle.com as I have just finished offline teaching until September, I must say I am really enjoying this new environment, it fascinates me :-)
