So here I am completing task 5 - set up a flickr account... find an interesting pic and blog about it.

So I found two groups that I have joined... RMIT group and another group called What I love about teaching and learning.

Anyway I decided to blog this pic that I found as I found it extremely interesting.. it is an EDNA workshop in Second life!!! Second life from what I understand is a virtual world. I was not aware that EDNA (Education Network Australia) would even contemplate something as Radical (well I believe it is rad!) and forward thinking as this. I wonder if these workshops are genuine learning spaces, I will have to find out.

I am very pleasantly surprised. I wonder if our Uni lecturers are even aware of this. I will have to find out. I am going to have to look into this further... I wonder if there are schools in which teachers teach in Second life, and would these teachers be university qualified to do that.. the possiblities are endless.

I am really really excited by this find and will be exploring further, but realistically I will have to wait until I have finished my 23 things.

So much to learn, and so little time to learn it in... :-)

Learning 2.0 - 23 things

Here I am at the beginning of a new journey...

WEB2.0 - Here I come...

Over the next few weeks I intend to follow the list of 23 things provided by the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg county in the USA.

This is to assist me in completing an assessment task for my University course which will in turn prepare in my quest to learn as much as I can to help me become an inspirational teacher/learner in my future classrooms.

And so this is task 3 and 4 complete.. I have registered my blog and have added my first post... which in truth is my second post as I did start this blog last year... so I have a bit of a head start in regard to this list... ( I did not realise that I had done this until I started to register and it completed my details for my google account and I realised that I had been here before. :-)
