When do I wiki and when do I ning?

We've had a great time of getting acquainted over the last few weeks and we are getting ready to charge ahead. I've noticed that there are some asking when do we ning and when do we wiki.

We created the ning to see if we could help the process of getting connected. Last year, many of our spam filters and firewalls were "eating" our e-mails and it was frustrating to connect, so the teachers created this space to help you connect and communicate.

However, remember that it will b… Continue

Sorry to bother with such a small question, but is there an easy way to find all of the teachers' e-mails?
I tested yousendit.com today, and it seemed to work well.
Thanks.

Several of my students are reporting to me that students in Austria are on break now and are not working on the project. Also, one student said that his partner in Shanghai was on break.
If this is true, the timing seems very challenging.
This project is so rich with so many opportunities for learning. I am doing my best to push my students through it, but only a few are meeting time expectations. Most of them do not work outside class time, and even then, a few have had frequent absences. Again, I will do my best to keep up with the international community, but I am also hoping that some adaptation (either now or next time) may be found to allow more time.
Thanks again for everything.
Barrie

Thanks for all of your help. I've always invented my own projects and others have followed. I'm getting a huge education here.

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find a group on google.
I have tried your link and searched, but I get nothing.
Also, I am writing my lesson plan assignment for the week, and I'm still unclear. Is it one video per person or one per group?
Thanks.

Sorry to bother you. I know you are busy in Maine - I watched a bit of your presentation, great job and great use of technology.
Just one quick question:
My understanding is that there are to be two products: 1) a collaborative wiki page for each group 2) a video. Is the video to be a team product, i.e. one video from Group 1, Team A, or is the video to be an individual product - every student making a product with at least one clip from a peer?

Thanks.

Thanks for the message.
About to present at a conference on the impact on student individuality of all these changing technologies.

I am very happy to be part of it all. We are on holiday this week so I am making sure I am ready for Monday. Can not waste a day with the kids.:)

I think we need to tackle both the traditional "research journals," as well as the blogging world. It is time for all this wonderful work to move beyond our innovators and to the rest of the educational world.
