Hi! I am Yayoi Anzai from Japan. I am an instructor of EFL at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo. Recently, I have become particularly interested in podcasting and wikis and have been trying to integrate various Web 2.0 technologies into language learning. I participated in Asia Day at E-learn 2008, and I met some of you here.
This event should be interesting and very inspiring!!

Hi all, have been involved with educational technology for many years, and have also been involved in running a number of educational technology conferences. Am currently the Dean of the Graduate Research School at Edith Cowan University, and find that media and educational technology is still a highly relevant topic for higher degree by research students in areas such as - supervision, research methods, remote research students, presenting visiting scholars, tapping into international research training events etc..

So, I look forward to sharing some ideas with this illustrious group!

Cheers, Joe

Hi all. I am Tom Reynolds and I live in San Diego, Califonria, where I teach at National University--a private institution with a huge teacher education program. National is a fairly technologically-centered institution, as we run about 400 classes monthly online, and over 60% of our 10,000 teacher education candidates take over half their credential courses online. I am very interested in our spaces of interaction efforts and the implications/directions such efforts have for future forms of collaboration and development.

Hi all! I'm Sylvia Currie from British Columbia, Canada. I'm involved in all things related to online communities and online events for educators but I also get involved in planning "traditional" conferences so it seems I'm in the right place.

Hi

I teach at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa. I teach Educational Technology in the Education Faculty. I also serve on the steering committee for Ed-Media, and I volunteered to serve here. I really enjoyed our elluminate session the other day (night for me and Joe).

I'm also pretty excited that we are using NING. A PhD student of mine is setting up a NING site now for fellow teachers at her high school.

Lots to learn, always!

Hi, There! a hug from Venezuela to you all. I am an EFL professor at Universidad Rafael Belloso Chacin. I am connected to people that invite me everywhere... we learn a little bit here and there... share some more and have fun getting everywhere.. later we go to our classrooms and tell our students about the precious exchanges we live in places like this. Want to thank you all for all the sharing and learning in our connected world. Looking forward to sitting next to you and end up the day with a smile on my face.

Keep on shining Love and Peace!

Here's a hug right back at you. I'm a PhD candidate at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. I'm working on my dissertation which is to develop a design model for creating collaborative online instruction. Are you interested in this topic. If so, I'd love to chat.

Hello,
Thanks for inviting me, Dolores. I hope to learn from everyone's perspectives and experience and share mine.
I'm a teacher at an international bilingual school in São Paulo, Brazil. I have been using social media with my students in the classroom, with teachers in professional development sessions (planning/organizing formal and informal workshops, giving keynotes at conferences both f2f and online ) and have been exposed to some journalism lately so it is particularly interesting for me at this point to be able to participate in these conversations.

Warm regards,
Bee

Getting up in the middle of the night to attend an e-conference is always a challenge for me. Perhaps asynchronous sessions can solve the problem, but then again it is not as exciting as real time meetings.

Oops I missed this introductory forum. Hi, friends, I am Loretta or Lori Teng, referred to this network by Curt Bonk, the passionate e-learning guy. Have been teaching fully online and blended courses, and love it. I wish I can do this full time. Love all things associated with innovation and fun but unforutunately I am not having too much fun here in Taiwan. I am involved in online cross-cultural collaboration. This is really interesting and I am glad Curt announced this in his blog. Thanks George for starting this.
