Hello everyone,
This has been the most exciting educational development activity for me for a very very long time. I am relatively new to Web 2.0 and it has been very challenging for me to try out so many new things. I haven't managed to do everything, but I have have started 2 blogs, learnt how to use lots of voice applications and explored virtual learning environments. I used Skype for the first time and took part in live sessions. I tried to make some exercises. I've met a wonderful group of warm and caring people and I have a long list of things I want to do slowly after the session ends, using my fat file of notes and ideas learnt during these six weeks. Thank you very much to all the moderators and to all those wonderful people who patiently answered my questions and gave tips! I very much hope to join you all next year!

Hi!
I've also learned a lot, and experimented a lot, which is for me the best way for life long learning. Looking back:
I've improved my blogs: http://preintermediate.motime.com and http://englishlevel4.motime.com.
I've started a wiki: http://englishlessonsforadults.pbwiki.com.
I've started a class using script-O at http://www.readingmatrix.com/quizmaker/?fuseaction=getdata.&id=2390&child=Class.
I've improved the Quia classes the company where I work has, like http://www.quia.com/pages/logandlearnwriting.html.
I've created exercises with Hot Potatoes and the Memory Game Maker, I've used my office at TappedIn, Skype and Vaestro with my students... But there's still a long way to go, as I believe every single day we can find lots of tools that can help the learning process. And the Webheads Group is the best way to keep up to date with technology, because they are always sharing new ideas and helping in any way they can. Thanks everyone for everything!

Hi everyone!
I see these six weeks as a landmark in my profession. The rhythm has been hectic and there were times when I felt I wouldn’t be up to the challenge. However, every time I felt at a loss, there was a kind webhead giving support and encouragement, telling us not to worry, reminding us that we could take our time, and that the material would stay here for us to continue exploring and learning.
I feel I’ve achieved lots of things, considering that I started almost from scratch. I’ve explored different blog and wiki hosts and created my own blogs and wikis,for example:
http://fcestudentsblog.wordpress.com/
http://fceexercisesandactivities.wikispaces.com/
I’ve created voice messages using voicethread, chinswing, evoca, vaestro and now I’m putting together a show using splashcast. I've also learnt to make online exercises and worksheets. And I have learnt to use skype and even attended live sessions!
I have lots of ideas about how to use all this newly-acquired know-how. First of all, I will need to transmit what I have learnt to my colleagues so that we can start thinking of using class blogs and wikis with a view at gradually implementing blended-learning in our teaching practice.
Above all, I would like to keep in touch with the wonderful people I have met here so that we can continue learning and working together. As Carina says: "Thanks everyone for everything!"

Let’s see:
I have started a blog at http://lunas994.blogspot.com and a wiki at http://lunas994.pbwiki.com/FrontPage and I have created exercises using different interactive exercise creators. I intend to create online exercises for my students on a regular basis and organise them on my wiki(s). I am planning to start a class blog.
I haven’t tried to make a podcast yet, so this is something I am going to do next. I would like to learn some HTML.
I still have a lot to learn, as it has taken me ages to edit the page you are looking at (and I thought I had learnt how to work with a wiki).

Hello everyone!

I haven't been too active, but I have read and experienced a lot with you. I will be able to improve my work on the new blog I created together with teachers from other 10 European schools in an attempt to present European traditions in an original way. You can visit it on traditionsacrosseurope.wordpress.com.
Thank you very much for a wonderful online experience!
