Hi Anne,
Glad to hear your are having fun with the link.
I have just come back from an ICT education conference in Singapore. That was a link from Tomas Daccord - who was presenting on it... in another room - while I was in another session - but following others tweets.
I went to a couple of Tomas's talks - he was great and very approachable. He is on Twitter - and perhaps I'll ask him and get back to him.
Cheers

I was part of the Digital Literacy Trial in 2010 and really liked the activities. I'm back to teaching grade six and would love to do them again. Are they still on the internet?
Thanks

I hope all is going well.
I have created a ning waiting for approval for different course at Vic Uni for PreService Teachers called Victoria University Pre-Service teachers New Learning. I would like this group to attend your Tech Tuesday Elluminate sessions. Would that be ok. There is about 40 students not sure how many will join but I definitely would like to encourage them.
Thank you for sharing your 2010 Showcase presentation. Its fantastic. For some reason I am having difficulty downloading it. Are you able to email it to me faranda.lidia.l@edumail.vic.gov.au.

Daniel Donahoo said… Hey Anne -
I am well aware of a lot of your great work. I have just started doing some work for ChildFund Connect - am I right in the assumption your school engaged with this project?
My brother is down your way - teaches in Warrnambool...I might have to drop in some time and see the innovation in action.
cheers
