How time flies! A new year, new semester, & tomorrow new students in the 1st workshop for Sem. 1 2007! Very exciting ... Unfortunately we won't have quite the excitement this time that we usually have in the 1st workshop since the University of Alaska CDE people are busy with a local conference this weekend, & can't do a live presentation for us. But I should be able to organise something for the next workshop. And in the next workshop we will be able to (virtually) meet Dr Norm Vaughan from University of Calgary who will talk to us about webquests, blogs & wikis, & how he & his students use them in Calgary.
In December I had the opportunity to present at the ASCILITE conference in Sydney (photos above):

And tomorrow the first workshop will happen, we'll learn about the history of Technology Enhanced Language Learning, begin to talk about Social Networking software & learn how to create & maintain our own blogs & class wiki ... I'm looking forward (with some anxiousness) to working with a new group of students and seeing how they develop and learn all these new skills and understandings.
