Thanks Anne. I will look him up! Any other ideas you have would be wonderful. I will be there for two weeks in March. It looks like you are doing some great work yourself with student blogging, word clouds etc. I need to spend more time on your page! ~ Hilary

Teaching online is quite a challenge but I thoroughly enjoy it. Do you use an LMS so deliver your courses? We use eCollege, I also use wiki's and google sites to provide some collaboration. For videoconferencing we have elluminate, the students enjoy being able to meet once a week as we never see each other face to face.

I am excited to be here, there are so many people with different experiences to learn from. Thanks!!

Thanks, Anne.....I'm spending a lot of time exploring on this site....there's a lot here! I might have some questions as I proceed!

Thank you kindly for the welcome. I look forward to learning from this community. :-)

Hi, Anne!

Thanks! Glad to be here!

I have my own social network (a network for historians and educators): http://cafehistoria.ning.com.

Now you can read it in english too. So you are invited to know this space!

I'll bet we are communicating with a three D box by then. It is amazing the way technology has taken us. She has never known a place without a cell phone, television set, Movies at home, computers. It is wonderful the way we keep progressing.

Hi1 yes I use all of those tools that you mention, I'm looking for some creative ideas about how to use them. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Anne, Today I watched a taped Webinar on Wikis and Webinars. It was very interesting. Anne I do not know where I am going with my life and career however I am on a new journey!

Thank you, it has been a great experience. Good international schools are great to work in and you get to see some terrific places. :)

dear Anne, I'm really sad i can't use internet at home now a days, I'm trying to reconnect it but there are some problems, I'm really missing your feeds; And Merry X'mas! How's everything ?

Hi Anne I teach Arabic language for high school students and non speakers also,BUT what major will be useful in MA studies for my subject?
thanks for your comment.

Hello Nina. In Australia we call them Learning Management Systems - interesting how each country has its own acronyms. My classes do not actually use the netbooks as it is the grade4/5 class which I do not take this year. However students from years 4 to 9 will be part of the netbook program next year. so I will have to face that issue next year. I dont know whether the students only use them for short spurts of time rather than extended but I shall have to ask Frank their teacher. Do you give your students a break after 50 mins or what are your standards?

Hi Anne, thanks for your comment. VLE stands for Virtual Learning Environment; Blackboard, Moodle etc. We currently use Fronter. Nice work with the Netbooks, that sounds a fab project - how have you got round the health and safety implications? Do you limit the time students use the devices?

Thanks for answering my question, Anne! I'll look into contacting Ning directly. Thanks again for the prompt response!
