Second Life

How many of you explored Second Life while at NECC, I spent about an hour there learning how to navigate and how to get from one Island to another. It was really way more than I thought it was and it was great to have a guide to lead me around and teach me the ropes. I recommend that you take a look, on Sunday evenings you can get a tour at the ISTE island. Once you get into Second Life and create your avatar you are on Orientation Island, you can learn how to move around there and how SL works… Continue

Wordle

I put this up before I went to NECC and meant to comment on it. It was interesting, it made a picture out of the tags I had in Del.cio.us, and it really did kind of represent me and my interests. I was really fascinated to see how much of me appeared just from my tags. I think you could do a really co… Continue

Just getting started

I am not the world's greatest blogger, I have great intentions but somehow they all fall to the wayside! However, because I am attending NECC I want to keep my colleagues at home updated on what I am seeing and learning. I am going to work at keeping up a blog presence while I am at NECC. I will have my laptop with me (going open source for NECC) and so I will be able to keep this up in the moments I am not busy.

Hello Frances,
The focus of the $90 million ED-LINKS program is improved Teacher Professional Development for the 629,674 teachers in Pakistan. With the launching the ED-LINKS Learning 2.0 Platform next month we will be encouraging teacher-generated content employing interactive and collaborative technologies and are exploring a framework of standards like NETS. In Pakistan, the cost of teacher professional development is 25.5 times the cost of training a secondary school student. So rather than continuing to incur “High Per Capita Cost for Low Grade Teachers” (quote taken from USAID), we intend to record lectures from the top Pakistan teachers for distribution over the Internet resulting in a quality education for millions of students.

Let me know if you have ideas on how we could work together on this.
Phil
