It may not mean this eithe   Now, when I join a group, I usually am looking for people who are like minded – who see the world in a similar way as I do.

As many of us try to get into the blogosphere and find place to discuss pedagogy, curricula, teaching methods, technology use and changing the landscape, it would be beneficial and expedient to direct interested parties to partake if they so wish.

Let's all blog about where young teachers who want to make a difference using technology can go. We can go from there, moving forward on the discussions we have. :-) I agree, Chris – less theorising, more action!

Just picked up your skype details, Please let me know what I can do to help with the NextGen project. Ever since I have been teaching I have not been able to find any decent professional development opportunities for myself. I am personally driven by the use of technology in my classroom and in my school. But since I have started blogging there seems so much to learn. Hope I can help. Happy new year Tom Hi Chris – no holidays for me so here I am! Just picked up your skype details, Please let me know what I can do to help with the NextGen project.

Ever since I have been teaching I have not been able to find any decent professional development opportunities for myself. I am personally driven by the use of technology in my classroom and in my school. But since I have started blogging there seems so much to learn.

Hope I can help.
Happy new year
