Hello Maya, I agree, being an early adopter is tough. But you are on the right track. Ernie Easter would be a great contact since your students and his are studying the Holocaust. Just that connection alone may be enough for your tech folks to under…

Well, the big happening in the virtual online network of Personal Learning Networks just finished up the last official event on November 1, 2008. I had not planned ahead to take part in the When N… Continue

Yes... as I tell my students I am the older smarter much better looking brother. We are now in same district.

Camp is very interesting to teach especially with kids from around the world (funny since they only know 2 English words which makes it difficult to teach them and the words are usually swear ones)

Hi, Alice. Like you, I find the gifts feature much too silly and Facebook-like. You can easily remove it by clicking the "remove the gifts feature" link from the Gifts icon on your Manage page. Cheers.
