Hans Feldmeier's Comments

Hi Hans - and thanks for your welcome!! Is nice to hear from someone from so far away - the joy of the technological world! My husband and I have been "host mum and dad" for two German students so far and we have thoroughly enjoyed their company! Such polite boys and we have learnt so much from them.

I can see that this site is a great source of inspiration and ideas - so am looking forward to experimenting and learning all I can! That is the thing I love about teaching - you could never possibly get bored!!!

Cheers
Annette

Thanks a lot for your nice words and invitation. I'll take a look as soon as possible.

Hi Hans, great to meet you and hear about your interest in Web 2.0 applications. I've joined your Comenius network.

Many schools from Germany and all round Europe use our community to help their Comenius partnerships. Feel free to have a look around at www.rafi.ki- it's totally free for teachers.

hallo Hans,
wir sind uns ja schon ein paarmal kurzfristig über den Weg gelaufen :). Ich finde es nach wie vor faszinierend, was du alles auf die Beine stellst. Mein Problem sind meine doch sehr spärlichen Englisch-Kenntnisse - strengt mich immer ein wenig an, alles rauszufinden, was es so gibt.
Unsere Classmates hatten wir zur Probe 4 Wochen vor den Sommerferien bis zu den Ferien...haben dann rausgeschunden, dass wir sie nochmals bis zu den Herbstferien bekamen. Nun hat die Gemeinde einen Leasingvertrag gemacht und die 6. Klasse besitzt nun diese Netbooks. Problem ist, dass ich "nur Fachlehrerin" bin und die Klasslehrerin sich zwar tapfer schlägt, aber doch nur sehr wenig Erfahrung hat. Wird schon noch. Wir benutzen außerdem auch Moodle.
Was ist das mit dem Comenius?...Mich würden auch deine diversen Schülerblogs interessieren - bin mal über eine 9. Klasse gestolpert, aber ich finde den Blog nicht mehr...interessiere mich für Voicethread...auch wie man Videos macht, weiß ich noch nicht so recht. Vielleicht kann ich ja Einiges von dir lernen, was ich dann an andere Kolleginnen und Kollegen weitergeben könnte?

Hallo Hans,
wie geht es mit den Classmates an deiner Schule?

Thanks for the comment!

I'm actually working on a project of my own that you might be interested in:

I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who have taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'connecting content and technology' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:

Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.

Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.

Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!

Thanks,

Hallo Hans,
auch in Deutschland gibt es seit neuestem die Initiative der Vernetzung von Schule, Bildung und Forschung mit Web 2.0. Und wie man Web 2.0 im Unterricht einsetzen kann.
Schau doch einfach mal bei uns vorbei, denn deine Beiträge hier sind einfach toll. :)

Thanks!! I look forward to checking out your sites!

It is great to have such quick feedback. I am going to visit your DigiSkills site.

Hi Hans, thanks for the invite. I'll certainly keep an eye on the plethora of interesting things you've got going on here, and I'll have a look at DigiSkills.

Danke, Herr Hans! I'll take a look around. Love all the apps going on at your site!

Hanz, hi there, how do I get the music from plip.fm to play on my ning page?

Hi Hans it was a delight to get your message. I teach IB English B and in an effort to get my student to be more engaged with their English language learning I am trying to include more web 2.0 tools into my course. I am amzed by what you have included on this site and will be following your progress. What is e-twinning???
Thanks again for adding me as a colleague.

Thankyou for adding me as your collegue. I am amazed at the work that you are doing! I have connected classrooms between Australia, US and Wales. Our latest project has been fascinating based on the question, do we see the same phase of the moon from the different hemispheres? So I lok forward to learning more from your work. :-)

Thank you for your comments! I look forward to seeing what all I can learn from this site. I'll be sure to take a look at your other group.
