I thought I joined earlier today, but perhaps I had a problem doing that. I know the map wouldn't work for me. I'll give it another go.

Hi Sue:
The Frappr map appears to be okay with my MacBook. I just let it load for about 10 minutes and eventually it came up - I thought that because it hadn't loaded after about 5 minutes that there was a problem.
Thanks for looking into it, though - Bryan

I think I'm in. Thanks for the invite Sue. Happy New Year.

Hi Sue.

I don't know if kids are basically lazy, or non-imaginative. Either way, I love when they stretch themselves mentally to create something original, as offbeat as it is.

Hi Sue - I am not sure what to expect for the map. I can see a "blank" map and get a message to the effect that it is loading but it never gets to a point where I can see individuals or add my own information. I am using a MacBook with Leopard - is there something I need to know or do? Cheers, Bryan

Sue,
After connecting with Alan Watts ideas on chaos, nothing can surprise me.
I am interested in using chaos theory for instruction and learning.

Thank you for the info.

Happy New Year,
Nellie

Hi Susan:
The Can/Mashup sounds like a good idea

Chaos Theory book? Can you explain? I am very interested in chaos as a way to creativity.

Hi Sue,
What a lovely butterfly.

Acutally I work for SD36 as well. Don Christian to be exact. I have mentored for TLite but I'm currently doing the Masters in Ed Tech at SFU. A very interesting contrast between the two. TLite is infinitely more practical where by the MEd. is very theoretical.

Well, Sue, I'm looking forward to see what Canadians sharing ideas can create. Things are definitely different for us than for our cousins south of the border, so an area where we can talk could be a good thing.

BTW, I found it interesting that you grew up in Winnipeg and now live in Surrey. I, by contrast, was born across the river from you in New Westminster and now live in Winnipeg. There's a weird symmetry there.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the note and the Posterous idea. I've already had a look at P and I'll give it a try in the new year (see my plans http://ovenell-carter.com/blog/?p=136).

I like the idea of a Cdn mashup. Where/how do I join?

BOC

Hi Sue

I'm from Edmonton Alberta. Please send me information about how I can join up. I always find it difficult to find Canadian content and having a group would certainly help in cutting the work load and help create lots of discussion.

Yes, my students are supposed to blog daily but we've been distracted lately. It is a great way for them to summarize their day (then parents have lots to talk about!)

Yes, I see the imagery and the metaphor. I was impressed with the technical detail, especially in the way the butterfly is bending. Kudos to your student.
