I'm here to play and learn and explore. All of the people I admire for their skills are here, so it must be a good place to be!

Lately I have installed Moodle which is a kind of e-learning platform where teachers cant setup entire course content and have the students to enroll in their class, check it out at moodle.org. I have installed it on my web server at school running on Apache with the xampp package (really cool package for everybody like me who comes from a Microsoft platform background). The installation went very smooth, I had to go and change some settings in my php.ini file but other than that it was a…

I’m in a session with Donna Desroche from North Battleford. She was a library technologist and, just recently became a technology coordinator. She was having a great time doing this presentation!

Institutional Context - Comprehensive Community School that is very

Hi everbody. I think that this post may give a good discussion since society and education is under a turnover, as new technologies such as social software appear to be the most important cause of this changing paradigm.

the kids where it is now. Educators were not trained to teach the way

that these students are learning. To engage these students there…

I was running through my Google Reader this morning when I came across this post from Scott McLeod. Actually, it's more like a question for reflection than a post.

I have read everything I can possibly get a hold of on Web 2.0 and integrating technology into education. I have attended conferences, held PD sessions for teachers and spoke to so many people I have lost count. What's the problem then?
