I read Brady's message as a little too commercial as well. There is a fine line we tread here at CR 2.0, because we don't want to exclude vendors who have something valuable to offer (most especial... Continue

Clearly Ning wasn't built as an LMS, but I've found that through the use of text boxes, widgets, and categorized forum discussions that a lot is possible! It does take some creativity. I think the ... Continue

Hope to see you joining the Directory sometime :-)

I just never thought about doing it before now. It doesn't take much time, and it's nice to know someone cares that you are there. Thanks for encouraging volunteers to step forward.
Thanks for the party today! I have gained so much from being part of this network. My learning curve has been steep and the journey has been lots of fun! I am now in a role where I can share many of these wonderful web2.0 tools and resources with others. This makes it even more rewarding.
I am more than happy to welcome people to Classroom 2.0.
I am an instructor at Big Bend Community College, Moses Lake, WA and a great beneficiary of your very great work at Classroom 2.0. I recently attended the excellent conference you organized in San Francisco. Good job!
I have a great need and i am hoping that you will assist me to reach as many members of Classroom 2.0 as possible.
My need is this. The alumni association of the high school that i graduated from in Nigeria is in the process of starting a campaign that is aimed at improving the learning environment at the school. Presently, due to lack of funding, the learning environment is not conducive for the students. The infrastructure is completely not in place. One area that the alumni has identified is the need for books. I want to appeal to Classroom 2.0 members to help my old high school with books (old or new). the books can be on any subject area that is high school level.
The name of the school is Federal Government College, Wukari, Nigeria. The alumni website is www.fgcwukarialumni.org. My email is zacht@bigbend.edu
Thanks.
Dear Mr. Hargadon,
I am an author of books that are used in many educational programs to
encourage students to express themselves through writing. I have launched a free new web site -- http://www.makebeliefscomix.com -- where students can create their own comic strips. The site offers fun animal and human characters with different moods, thought and talk balloons to fill in with words, and story prompts. It's a wonderful resource to spur children and adults to write, read and communicate their ideas and to practice English, Spanish and other languages. It is also being I am an author whose books are used in many school programs to used as a tool by educational therapists who work with deaf, learning disabled, and autistic people, as well as trauma victims, to help them understand concepts and communicate. I would be very appreciative if you would share with your members and colleagues, or tell me whom I should contact to share this information. Any list-servs you might suggest would be welcome. I need your help because it takes a community to build a community resource like this.
With thanks,
Bill Zimmerman
Online Educational Comics Launched to Encourage Writing,
Reading and Storytelling in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Latin by Author/Journalist Bill Zimmerman
–- http://www.makebeliefscomix.com
Dear reader,
I want to share with you news of my newest educational project and also ask for your help to make it succeed.
A year ago I launched a new web site -- http:// www.makebeliefscomix.com -- where children and adults can create their own comic strips. They can select from 15 fun characters with different moods -- happy, sad, angry, worried – and write words for blank talk and thought balloons to make their characters talk and think. There also are story ideas and prompts to help users create graphic stories.
This site can be used by educators to teach language, reading and writing skills, and also for students in English-as-a-Second-Language programs to facilitate self-expression and storytelling, as well as computer literacy. It is now being used in 160 countries by educators. Some educational therapists use it with deaf and autistic people to help them understand concepts and communicate. Parents and children can create stories together, print them to create comic books or email them to friends and family. Others will find the site a resource to be creative, calm down and have fun.
Because so many Spanish-speaking users asked us for the ability to write their cartoons in Spanish as well as in English, we recently upgraded the site to accept words written in Spanish, including appropriate accent marks. This can be a useful tool for someone who is learning Spanish as well as someone whose first language is Spanish. This feature has also been expanded to other languages, such as French, Italian, German and Latin.
I am hoping that you will share http://www.makebeliefscomix.com with your colleagues, teachers, students or readers of your publications and resource lists. The site is free with no advertising. Any help you might offer in getting word out about this project is very appreciated. If you can suggest other people or groups whom I might contact to make them aware of the site please send me their names, email addresses or phone numbers. Any list-servs I might join? Relevant Internet resource sharing groups would be helpful, too. It takes a community to build a useful resource like this one.
As one who learned to read with comic books, I know that creating comic strips can help people tap into their creativity and practice their language and storytelling skills. The site is free and stems from my lifelong mission to create resources that help people find their voice and express themselves. The concept for makebeliefscomix.com is derived from my earlier books, Make Beliefs and Make Beliefs for Kids of All Ages (which can be found on my other web site: http://www.billztreasurechest.com). A Make Beliefs interactive feature appeared for 13 years on my syndicated Student Briefing Page for Newsday, and in National Geographic’s World Magazine.
I hope you like http://www.makebeliefscomix.com and will use it in your work and personal life. Your feedback is welcome and very helpful.
With thanks and every good wish,
Bill Zimmerman
