Thanks, Graham, for providing a variety of Web-based tools and services to use in various learning environments where one size does not necessarily fit all. Because I am not a classroom educator, I have no occasion to employ personally what you so generously offer. However, when the opportunity arises for me to respond to educators questions about Web-based learning resources, I will not hesitate to point out your integrated set of learning tools and content resources.

I discovered Edu20 a while before it came out of beta, of course, as with all other applications, alongside the pure interest and enjoyment of playing with new toys, my aim was to see if I would be able to use it with my students in Israel and reccommend it to my colleagues here. The broad spectrum of possibilites on Edu20, which I would definitely enjoy in other circumstances, means that the site would be too diffcult for many teachers and most students in Israel to use. However, the site has a lot to offer, apart from being an online teaching space where a teacher can hold classes, courses, discussions, and implement such tools as a quiz maker and wiki for every class, there is a wealth of resources. Furthermore, Edu20 is also a Personal Learning Environment where the lone student can create his own learning agenda, study topics that interest him and interact with others interested in those topics. Definitely worth taking a look!

Hi Susan,

Thanks for your comment! Out of interest, why do you think it would be too difficult to use? Because it doesn't currently have a native Hebrew interface? Or some other reason?

Cheers,
Graham
