The survey results are in!
As you know, I used a web tool called WuFoo to create a poll to determine times that would be best for you, for the Technolog-e Sessions. Once the form is created, a step-by-step process, WuFoo provides the code to embed the form into your blog (it’s just like adding media [slide.com] into your wikispace).
WuFoo tool also allows you to create basic, graphic reports for you to easily view the results.

Keeping up with “the Waters”…
Every time I check my netvibes (RSS Aggregator), I am astounded that there is one or two new posts from Sue Waters. I’ve mentioned Sue a few times throughout this blog and her content often inspires me to write a post in response. Like this post I wrote in response to Sue’s article about innovation being challenged by all the constraints currently on us, like blocked sites within DET.
Sue is a Aquaculture teacher at Challenger TAFE in Perth. She trials a lot of new technology with her classes, on her blog she provides useful examples, guidelines, tips and much more. If you are interested in m-Learning, PDA’s, mobile phones, spy glasses, etc, and you don’t already read or subscribe to Sues blog, you’re missing out on loads of good tips and advice.
Team Meeting Time Survey
In an effort to minimise inbox overload, and in response to your great feedback, enthusiasm and determination, I have decided to dedicate this blog post to you. Accepting the role as a Faculty or Workplace e-Learning contact is a massive commitment considering how busy you all are. I am aware that you are all devoting more hours to this project than allocated and I am seeing some wonderful blog’s, wiki’s, Del.icio.us pages, Moodle Courses, etc as a result. I am also getting some great feedback from teachers, head teachers, faculty managers and our Institute Director about the wonderful support and work you are all doing.
Free learning materials and tools to enhance your delivery!
I started creating a list of sites offering free online eBooks, audio files, videos, learning tools and materials for educators, then I found this great wiki – Librarian Chick that has so many amazing listings already, I thought why create my own?
Here are a few of the tools and sites listed on – Librarian Chick that I thought were good.
Tiny URL – Have you noticed a lot of the links that come via the Australian Flexible Learning Framework start with http://tinyurl.com? This web tool allows you to transform lengthy URL’s that often get broken up during a copy and paste, into a shorter more manageable URL. Check it out. There’s also a Firefox extension for this.
Is WuFoo for You?
WuFoo allows you to create forms easily using a wizard style interface (very pretty too!), you can them to match your blog. It gives you the form code to copy to your blog, from there, people can start entering their data. WuFoo will also help you create reports so you can easily view the results and data submitted on your forms.
