You just set a whole program for an entire new life at school. In my school, right now, we are just pioneers, but the engagement of students is carrying teachers away with them. We are starting to blog with small groups, besides working with the whole classrooms in the Moodle platform and setting up some wikies. I would like to begin a voicethread project and to share your inspiring site to my colleagues as soon as Comment Challenge is over. Thank you for the wonderful tips you share in Twitter.

This will give students a voice, and open up two-way communication between students and our ICT Committee. We are hoping that this will cause our Teachers to look at what they are doing, and whether it fits with College Policies. Keep up the great work. Sadly we only found out that Will was speaking on the Monday before. Not enough time to organise etc. Though we have seen Will at the Expanding Learning Horizons conference, and I am an avid reader of his Weblogg-Ed Blog.

I think I will begin to refer to it as the read-write web, too. I will soon be working with a few students to create a VoiceThread for a World History project. I am hoping to use it as an example in the fall to encourage my faculty to try some tools that are new to them.

Excellent. I find I am enlightening/inspiring more teachers outside NSW than within. Perhaps I need to move to another state. I have been reducing my use of the term Web 2.o and preferring the use of terms like read-write web. I find that technical terms can be problematical for some teachers. Web 2.o is already being supplanted with Web 3.0 in some areas. :P Cheers, John Hi there,
