Where on earth are we?
Vale's avatar!
Well over the past few months this is a question that has crossed my find frequently!
Here are some reasons why:
SECOND LIFE
The Consultants-E are proud to launch the first private island simulator in Second Life dedicated to online training seminars and conferences, and the use of Second Life in Education. EduNation is a 65,000m2 island in the Second Life virtual world with seminar, powerpoint, audio and videocast facilities. Use of the seminar facilities is free. It also features small land and accommodation rentals for other educators to rent and use on a weekly basis.

GOOGLE EARTH
Another wonderful discovery and learning journey.
All thanks to Quentin D'Souza and
knowplace. I attended a brillantly weekend on"Google Earth as a Classroom Tool" will be hosted by
You can find out more about Quentin from his Teaching Hacks site!
This is where I live in GE
VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS
Well, I'm emoderating on my fourth online TCE ICT in the classroom course (using Moodle). There's a great range of particpants from all over the world!
and I'm definitely going to be workingout time zones for the synch session - where on earth...well maybe GE timezone overlay can help!
TESOL ITALY conference
Yes, this was also a moment when I saw many faces looking bewildered ... many colleagues from dark classrooms brighten at the colours and interactive power of web 2.0, many teachers asking where on earth is this leading....
Well as we contemplated these philosophical questions and I presented some of the differences between setting up Nicenet or Blogger spaces to create a cooperative learning enviroment in classrooms we admired the view of the bay of Naples. The conference was called "Inviting Views" and this, as Julian Edge (plenary speaker) said is indeed "inviting views"
It is also very near where I live on earth and almost the same view I have from my 5th floor classroom but what I found most interesting was the fact that my talk was the only speech that drew the parallel to blogs. Isn't that what it's all about....inviting views? An the comment feature of blogs allows for peer-to-peer interaction, and public comment as well as showing tutor interest!

Truth on the ground
Reynolds says, his blog Radom Acts of Reality http://randomreality.blogware.com/, and possibly other public sector blogs, can and do get to the "truth of what's happening" on the ground. They cut through the "nonsense" of TV dramas and "official" accounts of the NHS that politicians or NHS press officers present. "With more NHS staff blogging, more people will know what it is really like ... and more people will get angry about the things that people should get angry about."
Well where's the Italian version of this?
