Minhaaj, in this part of the world consultant in the Digital Learning is the same as unemployed. How many teachers from Hong Kong do you see on this ning? I have been two years trying to push the use of this technology here but it is very, very tr...
Hi Julie,
My inlaws were coming in today and were originally arriving at 5.15 local. Plane was delayed and the estimated time is now 9.30 local so I will be on the bus on the way to the airport during the Elluminate.
Will make sure I listen to the...
Hi Again,
Definitely up and running and looking forward to seeing the videos.
Any updates beyond "late March" for when the Elluminate session for this will be?
Lots to say! Digital Learning consultant based in Hong Kong and working as much as I can in Asia. Mostly do Smartboard training, Web2.0 seminars, effective use of Digital Learning Tools, 1 to 1 programmes and more.
Hey Paul,
Thanks for the workshop over the weekend. It was nice to chat on the bus, too. I wish we had more time, I'd like to learn about your experiences.
I also had a (small) idea I wanted to run by you. I am always looking to tap into other voices to help encourage my fellow faculty members to take the plunge into the deep end of the pool, so to speak. I was able to convince Eric Klopfer from MIT to do an elluminate webcast with us during one of my professional development sessions and it was great. I was wondering if you might be interested in helping me spread the disease a little, one way or another.
If you are interested, let me know: ghaines@sspjschool.net

Hi Mary,
I am new to this site as well, but think my 5th graders would be interested in participating in a flat classroom project and collaborating with your class. Any idea how we would begin?
