Are you coming to the ETA conference later in the year? If so, maybe we can catch-up. I have several workshops to present but will be in attendance both days. Cheers, Darcy :O) Hi Brendt,

Thanks for posting, small world and all that. Are you coming to the ETA conference later in the year? If so, maybe we can catch-up. I have several workshops to present but will be in attendance both days.

I will keep coming back here no doubt when looking for great ways to do new things. Currently teaching English at Toronto High School and grew up in Taree (not far from Old Bar - when surfing there heaps as a kid) and also went to Newcastle Uni. Then went overseas to teach in the UK and travel. Keep up the great work - this new age we're living in is exciting and full of possibilities.

I also live in Kiama, have 3 daughters (3, 5 and 7) and 3 chooks! I'm assuming your daughters must now be 3 and 5, so we'll probably cross paths one day at pre-school, school, extra-curricular stuff etc. I find it really reassuring to see a local person who is this switched-on to both technology and education.

Since you cover web 2.0 in Your Blog, I thought you might be interested in a study that my nonprofit published this summer about how people find information online. The study covers three groups: non-profit organizations and cities; web designers and firms; and the general public. The study was fascinating on a number of levels, and I invite you to read the executive summary or download a PDF of the findings at http://www.idea.org/find-information.html . The survey results sparked ideas about tools we could provide that might make finding information online easier. This fall, we will start beta testing a cool new new navigational tool. I don't have your email, so if you are interested, you can sign up for our beta here: http://www.spicynodes.org/ or to stay abreast of our (very) occasional new projects, you can get our newsletter here: http://www.idea.org/newsletter.html Thanks, Michael DEAR Darcy ,

PD was frankly scary last Monday, well for me anyway as a classroom teacher who may not know much, yet, its not my natural domain and others felt threatened. I'll call next week and have a chat. regards Tony Hi Darcy small token of appreciation for your help is awaiting you at http://tsearl.edublogs.org/2008/08/30/web20-is-real-people/

Ewan wrote a great review about our beta site www.tutpup.com It's entirely free. We have quite a few international users but many of our schools are in the UK where it is now the summer holidays and so things have slowed down a bit. We are currently working on a few news games and a rewards/incentive system, most of which should be deployed by Sept. If any of your classes or colleagues want too give it a try I would be interested in their feedback. It's nice to see so many great Australian education blogs, although I can't see any from Wangaratta (VIC) where I went to school. Cheers Richard Taylor Director of Play@ Tutpup London Darcy,
