I am putting together some powerpoints for novice e-learners in the American Dance/Movement therapy Association and the Canadian Art Therapy Assocition. Presenting in May and in in Oct. if all goes well.

Sylvie on Scott’s Scope (happening now) alwasy has a lot to share. The collective info will be on a wiki — collecting all of the information. Sylvie wrote about Diigio and also the following:
” Diigo which has some amazing features that makes it far easier to repurpose the nuggets I find and share them with other teachers. Diigo has all the power and ease of delicious and Furl, it allows me to annotate, tag and share my bookmarks with colleagues. The extra advantages Diigo provides are:- I can organize my web pages into collections called Lists- I can tag and annotate collected pages and I can email them to friends. They have a nifty annotation feature that allows me to highlight the sentences in a web page that I want to focus on. I can attached a comment (private or public) and then anyone who has a Diigo account will see the highlight and the comments when they visit the same web page.

She also wrote: “Very useful for starting a targeted discussion.- a handy little device called Webslides creates an automatic slide show (like a PowerPoint that can be emailed) that I use for quick presentations- I can sign people up into Groups where everyone posts the links they find relevant to a specific topic… They’ve also created a special educator account that allows me to form groups without requiring all members to provide their emails. I can sign them up by their first names if I choose…”

I love the sharing that I see happening. It does take me time to make “my own” be comfortable with it — especially if I teach it to others. But — I don’t think Sylvie minds me passing this own to you — that’s the point afterall.

Hope your New Year is going well. Jo Ann
