Clare recently alerted me to this screen sharing application: Yuuguu.
Great for collaboration and demonstration - although it does involve a download.
Just when we thought we wouldn’t need to download anything ever again. 
Another resource that teachers may find useful is Ustream - a live broadcasting tool which, according to its blurb, “is a platform that provides live interactive video for everyone. Anyone with a camera and an Internet connection can use Ustream to broadcast to a global audience.”
We will certainly look at its potential for professional development, but if any of you are using it with your students, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks, Paul, for passing this on.
Recently, I was alerted to an initiative by some of our diploma geography teachers - a subject-based wiki designed to support the teaching and learning of the current syllabus (guide or specification).
It’s another great example of how tools like wikis can harness the collective intelligence of the IB teaching community and an important pointer for future OCC development.
They’ve used wikispaces but it could easily have been set up on any other wiki platform.
Have a look for yourselves here: IBgeog Wiki. Great stuff!
An interesting meet-up is being planned around BETT next year. Called TeachMeet08, it is a gathering of education technologists, willing to share their experiences and expertise. It is being led by Ewan McIntosh among others and he has blogged about it here.
If you want to sign up, please do so at the supporting wiki: TeachMeet08.
Hope to see you there.
