Blog to Blog

The travel and tourism team - Kevin, Lynn and I have been busy perfecting our blogging techniques this week - hopefully all knowledge gained will not be lost over the holiday period.

Leigh has posted the outcome (and more) of our discussion/meeting earlier this week follow the link http://learnonline.wordpress.com/ .Thanks Leigh, the objectives are clear and I will be working throughout January bearing in mind you will be away for February.

Susan (EDC) and I were discussing putting together a proposal for a research paper on blogging, wiki's and how we are resourcing them and what will be involved in continued technical and resourcing support once the initial development is completed in 2008. We can start gathering research material now especially since staff have started training on part of the technical requirements eg. blogs. Could even develop into a text wiki or book.

This will probably be my last post until after Christmas. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for all the work this year Leigh and I look forward to working with you, Sunshine, Susan and the team in 2008.

Blog sessions, Conferences and Goodbye

Thought this photo was appropriate for some of our team who are presently undertaking blog training. Kevin, Lynn, Rachel and I are being lead down the fast flowing waters of blogdom to the treasure of understanding.

Actually we have all created our own blog in an effort to better
understand the medium before using our course blogs in 2008. I am mightly impressed and hope this new found skill is not lost over the christmas break.

Otherwise we are continuing to develop and have put in a proposal to the PCF5 Conference (London, July 08) and awaiting confirmation that this 3oo word abstract has been accepted. The proposal is on the wiki if you want to read it http://wikieducator.org/Travel_and_Tourism

Sadly we will be losing one of our team. We wish her all the best for her future. Thank you.
