Follow three simple stages to exploring and developing online communication

About the event – It really is early days with many ideas planned for the future. I believe in the concept of connecting classes using web 2.0 software. It is my intent to continue to develop this site whilst retaining it’s simplicity

About Al – I’m a teacher at Glenelg School (Adelaide, South Australia) with a passion for professional learning, computer games in education and exploring the role of emerging technologies in education. My focus is catering to busy teachers with time commitments, crowded curricula and often elusive lives of their own. My miniLegends class are Year 3 students – 8 and 9 year olds.
I am also an eTeacher with the Technology School of the Future.
I have three blogs
