Help with a little issue please.
I have been encouraged to talk about my experience using ning in the classroom at a technology conference. However, I need a catchy title.
We use ning to extend the classroom into the home, make it easier to do transmit homework to school and vice versa and to collaborate among parents and teachers.
I thought about using "Enhancing the classroom through the use of blogs"
Does that sound to fuddy duddy?

Hi everyone- I'm very excited to join this group and begin participating. I'm new to online teaching and the first person at my school testing the waters. I'm trying to get more teachers at my school on board and at least aware of how it works. I'd like to compile links to articles and multimedia resources (podcasts, videos, etc) that teachers can use to start learning about online teaching and learning. A digital repository of pd materials is what I'm envisioning here. In particular I'm looking for descriptions of best practices and discussions of applications and software that on-line teachers use (LMS's, pod/vodcasting apps, screensharing apps, etc). If anyone has any good links to resources or knows of any delicious networks that I should follow it would be very helpful. So far I've found the edutech website very useful and also the seedlings website is another good resource.

Thanks,
Cameron

Hi,
I work for a webstie called 43marks.com & it's a great tool for online teaching and learning.
It's a free customizable bookmark site that makes a great startpage for any class. We give you an unique URL (43MARKS.com/username) where you can upload bookmarks that are of interest to the class your teaching! You can have unlimited pages. One page for each class or project. It's a great resource to have all the relevant websites on one page. We are also advertising free, no banners, no pop ups.

43marks.com comes with some bookmarks - But after you create your 43marks.com page you can delete all the default bookmarks and just upload the bookmarks you want...

Dear colleagues,

We are working on a project on how we can utilize Web 2.0, not only Social networking, in foreign language teaching. Your contributions, suggestions, and ideas are highly appreciated. I will keep you informed about the progress. Please let me know if you are interested.

Kind regards.
