- Hi Jeff Did you get my last message sent via the ning? Maybe it is easier to talk to you on a telephone about a possible Tech Talk Tuesday session. There are a couple still to be filled in on a Tuesday in early June or else it would be next term. My email is mirtschin.anne.a@edumail.vic.gov.au. So if you could still present and share your phone number with me, I shall ring you re content etc.

- It can be flaky and it can be a bit slow at times. Not sure why. Hope it's not too off putting for everyone. If you want a couple of tips to speed up the ning, Kate has put some things to try in the Newbies group.
Your post should have gone up ok no matter where you put it. the only thing that might have happened is that one of the other moderators might have it pending approval. We've decided to pre-approve all photos and videos before they appear.

- Hi Jeff,
thanks for joining the ning. It looks like you've been spreading the word as we now have a few comms colleagues in the space. Teachers in schools don't get a lot of direct access to you guys so i hope you'll see this as a way to share any relevent communications tips with them. Thanks for the blog post about youtube/edu. I can see that you've left it but i can't seem to open it. Does it have video in it? It may be queued for approval.
