My name’s David and I’m a history teacher in Queensland, Australia. I use a lot of podcasting and online tools with my classes and am always looking for new ideas.
I host a group on diigo (it’s similar to delicious and very popular with teachers) for history teachers to share links, ideas and resources. It’s at http://groups.diigo.com/groups/history-teachers.
Please come along and join and share any sources or resources you use with the rest of us. See you there.
Regards,
David Hilton
Ancient & Modern History Teacher

I was just reading a discussion about blogging where you participated and left some very interesting suggestions. I was wondering if you would like to join a group I have started, where good tips like the ones you gave here and in your websites would be welcome. Please consider joining www.teach-with-internet.ning.com
thank you

With your impressive work in Instructional Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

Sorry for my tardiness in response- I'm still getting the hang of Ning, truth be told. Took me awhile to figure out why your comment wasn't in my inbox.

Anyway- your projects look interesting! I'd love to hear more sometime. I'll get back to you with more specific questions- but wanted to touch base.

Thanks,
Ellen

At 5:26am on November 5, 2008, Millis High School said…: We at Millis High School are very strong in the field of Web 2.0 and 21st Century Learning. We currently have two classes at MHS. Advanced Web 2.0 and Standard Web 2.0. Last year was the pilot year for Web 2.0, and it went so well they carried the returning students over to Advanced Web 2.0. Our class has created as Wiki, http://milliswiki.wikispaces.com, which we worked on last year and it is now completed. What we would like to do is Skype with other classes to talk about Web 2.0 using our Wiki as a resource. For younger students we can talk to them about Internet safety. We are open to any educational effort so we can apply Skype to the classroom.
