Busy time of year

I am sitting here wondering whether to begin writing my reports or keep participating in my first online conference.

The conference runs for two weeks, explores examples of collaborative learning and the application for Web 2.0 technologies in teaching and learning.

In the conference, the aims are

• explore collaborative online learning, Web 2.0 tools and their applications, and the benefits and issues of using these online environments.
  
  
• provide links to workshop presentations using some of these tools, and descriptions of what they are, classroom examples, and practical tutorials.
  
  
• create opportunities for conference participants to share their own ideas and experiences in conference forums, blogs, and wikis

There is three themes of the conference

Each of these sections includes three themes that develop throughout the two weeks:

• Collaborative online learning
• Web 2.0 tools and their applications for educators in their professional learning and teaching practice
• Relevant issues when using online environments.

So now, on with the conference or write senior reports...
