At 6:17pm on July 24th, 2008, Gavin McLean said…: I'm off to UAE shortly and was disappointed to read Larry's comment about the filtering in UAEas I was hoping to use Classroom 2.0 over there! I'm going to be in Al Ain which is an hour and a half from Dubai. I was hoping to keep in touch with Larry there. :(

At 6:37pm on July 23rd, 2008, Dennis O'Connor said…: Larry, It's great to hear your voice. I wasn't aware that the UAE filtered things so heavily. I knew that was the practice in the magic kingdom, but am surprised that the more advanced uae is still clamped down.

Great to see you here on classroom 2.0. Consider joining http://www.classroom20.com/group/elearning our group here on classroom 2.0!

I tried to get onto Classroom 2.0 from Dubai, but the censorship control on the Internet blocks any sites that use Twitter and Ning. I'm in Thunder Bay right now working on the second E-Learning course. I thought I would sign up here and maybe I can slip through the control when I get back in Dubai. It looks like your page is hopping. I will be checking it regularly. Talk to you again. Larry

At 7:33pm on July 6th, 2008, Dennis O'Connor said…: Hi Eric!

Yes we use a variety of web 2.0 Technologies in my program at UW-Stout. I manage the E-Learning and Online Teaching Grad Certificate http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/elearningcertificate.html

Right now we're working with del.icio.us to create a bookmark list of web 2.0 sites. Just search del.icio.us for the tag: stoutsummer08 to see what we're up to.

I set up the e-learning and online teaching group here on classroom 2.0 to provide a little social networking for the groups going through the certificate program.

Are you working with graduate or undergrads at La Crosse?

Are you using classroom 2.0 with UW-Stout? I'm at UW- La Crosse & Montana State and using Ning (www.teachingscience20.com) with them.

At 4:40pm on May 20th, 2008, Karen Fasimpaur said…: Thanks for the nice comment, Dennis. I'm glad my post resonated with you. You are right about copyright -- teachers routinely find this a dull and unimportant topic. The kids, though, were completely engaged by it. It is deeply relevant to them. My husband and I were discussing the fact that as kids, we had no awareness of copyright. Kids today, though, are creating tons of stuff (not to mention remixing, borrowing, and stealing). They were excited to know that *they* too own copyrights and have the power to share.

At 7:33pm on March 6th, 2008, Soultravelers3 said…: Thanks for the kind welcome Dennis! Wow, glad to know you are a world traveler as well & that it still impacts 32 years later. It makes it much easier for a family into long term global wandering to have today's technology, that's for sure.

We have 3 laptops & are already using online learning, but looking to learn more about it and doing more. I think my child has the best of both worlds, seeing the world in person and connecting with the world online, plus finding ways they can nurture each other.

So many wonderful adventures!

At 10:53am on January 28th, 2008, Patrick Payne said…: Thanks for the reply and offer to join the eLearning and teaching group, which I have just done.
Best regards and say hello to Datta for me.
