Scootle is an excellent resource (compendium of resources?) and in the process of completing tasks for this blog have found some useful ideas for inclusion in the coming week's lessons. Bonus.
I am excited by the prospect of utilising programs like Second life or Quest Atlantis in an educational setting. These online communities have a lot going for them. Chief amongst the benefits is the amount of ownership students have over their participation in educational events - can't wait to give this a go.
There will come a time, I am sure, when history will view those of us who have never used Twitter with a fond and reverent admiration. While Simon Crook alludes to some useful features of this tool (like quick answers to troublesome questions) I can't bring myself to use it. I guess I would rather be part of the last generation of people who could grow crops and build houses - than the first generation who tweeted.
