With your work in Innovation in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

I said that I think this Ning has a lot of potential for us to share, connect and form partnerships. I hope people embrace this space. People need to be active here for it to work. Good luck.

- Hello Mark, I dont know if you remember a teacher called Susie Corbett from the USA who wanted to work with some schools in Australia as her students were studying Australia.

It worked really well.

- Hi Mark,
Welcome to the ning. Take a look at some of the great thoughts being posted here - we'd love to hear yours too. check out Adelaide Simon's fascinating insights into innovation in France. I think we should meet up with her (in Paris of course) and find out more!
