Many eduTools are over-rated and misused for improved learning,(but still fun to play with). Find a core selection of quality opensource (like voicethread, edmodo, flickr, gdocs) and become proficient in applying them for learning. cheers & thanks for dropping by Tania.

Have popped in here to see who you are and what you're about. And like where you're coming from. Will definitely pop in regularly because am sure I'll be able to get valuable info for my field. I'm ICT support at Nelson Central Primary School in New Zealand. Love the emerging tools, but like what you say about not rushing in under the hype etc .....even tho it's all exciting. ULearn '09 in Chch was great. Ka Kite! Thanks Tony for getting “in touch” via twitter. Have popped in here to see who you are and what you’re about. And like where you’re coming from.

You just requested to follow me on Twitter, and I had to regretfully decline -- I use Twitter for personal, not professional, messages. But you look like a neat person and we clearly have a lot of similar professional interests. How did you find me? My apologies if we met at a conference and I'm blanking on it... I've been so doctoral as to be off the conference circuit for a while... Do you know my Australian colleagues Katina Zammit and Jon Callow, by any chance? Or Skud Roberts? Or did you perhaps find me through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/themediashow" rel="nofollow">The Media Show</a>? If so, I'd love your feedback... I'm interested in hearing more how it comes off to educators. Cheers! Hey Tony!

My Year 7 may be a great blog target, we are setting them up now. Our email and log on issues are almost resolved. NSW DET have been promising a "safe" in house blog spot for a while now and I am getting tired of waiting. stay in touch Thanks for the heads up on blogging Miss W, a very timely offer.

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 08:01:17 +0000 #comment-204 G'day Tony, Saw a comment from you on a post written by Anne Mirtschin and have spoken to you in twitter as well, so thought I would visit your blog to tell you about a student blogging challenge that will be starting in March 2009. Students may use either a class blog or their own individual blog. There will be activities each week and they will be posted on my class blog http://wyatt67.edublogs.org If any teachers or students are interested in registering, please do so here http://wyatt67.edublogs.org/2009/01/18/a-new-year-means-a-new-challenge/ A similar challenge was held last year and nearly 500 students from nine different countries of the world took part. These students are still blogging and running a collaborative blog at http://studentfriends.edublogs.org G’day Tony,

What a great find..... How you expressed your discoveries over the past three months is exactly the path I am travelling. I discovered all things 2.0 11 months ago and what a wild journey....After 33 years of teaching and enjoying it, I am in love with it again and the learning curve. There are not enough hours in the day to do and learn all that I want to do. I have been so turned on by the whole topic and the future that I finally started that long put off Masters Degree. In what? Well, Integrated Technology Grades 3-12, of course. :) I love the challenge. Keep writing and thinking and I will follow your brain when mine is confused and fried. :) Heather Hi,

Was the DET installed IWB a separate board or the connected classroom one? Why was the instal a debacle? Darcy, no twitter yet,
