We use an online booking system for our school library, computer labs, outdoor classrooms and AV equipment and we love it!! It was designed by a student at our local high school who was looking for a real-life project to put his computer skills to w…
Heather,
Who knows the school division's reasoning for blocking Skype. They block all Ning's too and any social networking site.
I'd try Teachers Connecting at: http://teachersconnecting.com/ If you've never listened to Joan and Ben's podcast on teachers connecting with technology in the classroom, you're in for a real treat. I subscribe to their feed on iTunes and look forwa…

Heather said… - Hi Jo-anne,
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I really am a bit frazzled thinking about writing up two assignments/week for the next 3 weeks!
I am even more worried because I am registered for Joanne Degroot's Part 2 of the EDES 501 course and I don't think I can handle all these assignments AGAIN! It's really been eating up my family time!
I popped onto your librarypbwiki! I love your Voicethread of the water cycle. I am totally going to have my students do that...I teach weather in gr.5! Thanks for the idea!
Can't wait to meet you on the 28th and "destress"!

- Hi Jo-Anne,
I spent most of my Sunday working on this last post. This course has really drained me and I'm a bit concerned about the follow up course (I signed up before we started this one!). I hope it doesn't move at the same pace or I'm going to "freak-out"! We've had a few people in our course getting feedback from the "Experts of Web 2.0" too. Congratulations...that's pretty exciting!
My blog address is http://heathersyearn2learn.blogspot.com if you wanted to check it out. I'd be interested in your opinion!
Are you going to be at the SAG conference for MSLA on the 28th?

I'm adding documents to the ptsdlib wiki. I'm also going to make a ptsdlibtech page that we can link to. That way both groups will have a presence. Mike is having trouble logging on with his own password can you give him any suggestions? I told him about your experience,

- Hi Jo-Anne,
Actually I've been a teacher with Pembina Trails for over 10 years now! I'm also a Fort Richmond graduate too ('88)! I am running a MYRCA club at my school and realized that I also recognized your name from the MYRCAblog. I haven't got my students on the blog yet as we are practicing with my wiki I set up for the EDES 501 course. It's my first course for my TL diploma at the U of A. It's A LOT of work as I have 2 small children and I teach gr.5 at 0.83 (I took the one day off in the 6-day cycle to help me work on my course). Since you are almost finished this course, I'd love to hear any good advice on course choices etc. as I continue on. Are you taking the follow up course to EDES 501?

- Hi Jo-Anne,
I don't know how I stumbled upon your name but I noticed you were from Winnipeg and then I remembered that Chantal F. had mentioned you were taking courses with the U of A as well.
I am not a TL with PTSD (yet) but I spent a day "shadowing" Chantal at VW as it has become my PGM and I found this great program at U of A. I noticed from your blog post that you are also taking the EDES 501. I just wanted to say "hi" as I have just become a member of this Ning as well!
