Comments for A Cape Town computer teacher's rumblings http://veritasvibes.edublogs.org A junior school computer teacher in Cape Town, South Africa Mon, 11 May 2009 02:01:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on “Space to explore”: SciFest Africa 2009 by friedafoxworth http://veritasvibes.edublogs.org/2009/04/05/space-to-explore-scifest-africa-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-34 friedafoxworth Mon, 11 May 2009 02:01:38 +0000 http://veritasvibes.edublogs.org/?p=75#comment-34 I don't know of anything nearly as large and comprehensive around here as your Science Festival. We have annual science conventions for teachers, but they are more about teachers sharing than the high level of presentations at your festival. I am ffoxworth on Twitter. Looking forward to continuing to learn! Frieda I don’t know of anything nearly as large and comprehensive around here as your Science Festival.

I enjoyed listening to Chris Smith's podcast. He did a great job explaining the purpose of SciFest. I hope you will get to take some students next year! SciFest sounds like it was fascinating!

It's a bit worrying that you were able to view their individual photos so easily! I'll have to look in to that......but then of course only those reading this blog or whom I've accepted as admin or individ. members would know the URL. The girls sign an internet agreement form and a few may not add their pictures to their wiki pages. Have you read more recent entries for Veritas Vibes? Hi Brenda

My word it's a treasure trove. You have obviously got into it in a big way. Your wiki is great too. It says it's protected but I was able to click on learners names and view photos of them. How does the protection thing work and do you have to get permission from parents for them to publish their photos online? It's really interesting. Hi Caro, I just came back to read your blog.

Have you tried monitoring the entire space using RSS into Google Reader? You may find it a bit easier than email?

I'm doing a family history wiki with my Grade 6's - if you're interested I'll send you the project link and you can think about it!

I stumbled upon your blog through the international edubloggers' list. I read as you described you time and success with your history wiki. I would love to hear more about it as I struggle to find strong reasons to wiki with my fifth graders in Illinois. Visit us at http://mrlund.edublogs.org - Mr. Lund Hello!

Please let me know what time would be suitable time for you GMT time so I can organize a session on WiZiQ. I'm sure others would benefit from the time change, too. Thank you. Warm wishes, Nellie Hi Carolynn,
