Tip of the Iceberg

Keri-Lee and Clint met on Twitter in 2008 and have since spent numerous holidays, along with their families, together across Asia. Cross posted at Learning on the Job. To help facilitate our Twitter for Teachers session at Learning 2.011, we have decided to post the general outline of our presentation and any resources on both [...]

5. Share links to content/ideas presented in each session – that’s what Twitter’s all about! 4. Leave out the conference hashtag if you’re talking to your friends. 3. Acknowledge the quotes you tweet – we want ideas to be traced back to their source. 2. Be thoughtful about retweeting with the conference hashtag – otherwise [...]

Today I have had a neat surprise and was reminded of a very important blogging tip, which of course I need to share! Earlier this afternoon, I was busily scrolling through my tweetdeck when I came across a tweet from Kim Cofino saying: I found the link to the list of nominees, and proceeded to [...]

I have a secret identity. One very few of my real-time friends know about. It is my life online. Online I’m a blogger.

The Maori (native New Zealanders) have a saying: He aha te mea nui? He tangata, He tangata, He tangata. What is the most important thing? It is people, it is people, it is people. At the end of this 3 day conference at EARCOS in Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, I believe more than ever that [...]

Photo credit: The Flooz Some days I can’t help feeling like I’m just piggybacking. My best ideas with ICT have been borrowed from other people’s best ideas, and I’m merely reproducing them in a slightly different way. I don’t feel much like an innovator, especially not when compared with many of the well-known edubloggers out [...]

Photo credit When I first signed up for Twitter I won’t lie; I wasn’t overly impressed. I didn’t know who to follow, I didn’t know what to say. After all, surely the ‘status update’ function of Facebook would do the same thing. I persevered, followed more people, shared some interesting things I found and then [...]
