Breeze

Tonight I joined a group of Teachers to talk about how to use the Breeze application. It was my first experience with Breeze and for the most part, it worked. I did drop out a few times and we had some patches of not being able to hear each other, but it was good to talk and be allowed to share a few web pages - I showed everyone this blog, so if any of you have come visiting, please do say hi!
The participants tonight told me about Wikispaces and also about a wiki called "VTE models for embedding innovative practice in elearning" . I have joined both sites, or requested to be allowed to join :-)
Like the EdNa groups I subscribe to, I think I will learn much more than I will be able to contribute. I believe I am on the very edge of e-learning/m-learning 'pool' and am content to absorb some of the things that are happening - for now before diving in. I am sure more can be done with the Janison sites I host, and in encouraging students to use the spaces we have.

TROPIC talk

I had a chance to talk to a Teacher about TROPIC this week. It didn't result in getting a chance to do an observation, but it was a conversation. There are a couple of new Teachers on board now who won't know about TROPIC, so there are more opportunities just waiting for me out there, right?
I let Martha know about the conversation. It's all activity!
How are you all doing, anyway?

EdNa groups

I have been subscribed to some threads in the EdNa community for a few months now and am picking up so much from them. There are always so many interesting links and ideas floating around there. I find it a good place to learn about how to access the repositories of international conferences and happenings around e-learning and m-learning. I don't always 'follow' every post or thread but the ones that interest me open up so many more possibilities and thoughts. If you have not tried 'lurking' and posting comments on some of these threads, you may find a conversation that interest you, too.
