I've been out of action this week, but this has provided me with an opportunity to package up the presentation I gave on the 30-minute masters at DevLearn in San Jose, to make this available to a wider audience. Working with Articulate , I've added narration to my slides and included extracts from a video interview I carried out with Steve Rayson of Kineo just before the conference.

It's obvious that a Wiki would be a great help in my organization. A few years ago we started using SharePoint and now we are SharePoint junkies. The problem is that our SharePoint intranet has grown so immensely that it is now difficult to find information you need in a pinch. The search features are weak and there is now so much information available that we need a quicker way to get an answer in a pinch.

Often, it is too expensive to build a game or simulation from scratch for use in the classroom. However, some very clever teachers are using commercially available games to achieve educational goals. Here are three examples. First example is Kurt Squire.read about what he has done in the article Let the Games Begin.

The idea certainly isn't new, but I'm hoping they have a novel spin on the interface and other functions of this type of system. I have lots of questions but no time to ask them.
