Thanks for your attention, and see you online!
Steve:
ReplyDeleteI am particularly interested in "educational networking," especially for teacher professional development so the Social Networking discussion on 7 November looks good. Only problem is that it is 4am Sunday morning our time (Melbourne, Australia), so I will have to listen to the recording.
Do you have a link to the white paper you mention? A quick search hasn't located it...
Thanks,
Andrew
