I found a great non-profit that has been helping <br />disadvantaged school districts and has had many success stories <br />improving student achievement in Math, SAT and ACT including Collier County, FL and St. Landry Parish, LA. Their site is <br />www.cyberlearning.org. CyberLearning also offers Technology courses that many schools could find useful.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671310082595375607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1960886146431257212010-05-21T10:12:14.911+01:002010-05-21T10:12:14.911+01:00I recently launched a private ning network for a g...I recently launched a private ning network for a group of adults in mid-Argyll undertaking a course which should lead in the end to certification with York St John university. As it is hard to arrange sufficient face-to-face meetings to meet the course requirements, we rely on a mix of telephone conferencing, face-to-face meetings (the most recent of which one person attended via Skype on a very good broadband connection - we and she felt she was actually there) and the ning site. The students put their work in progress online for peer and facilitator comment before submitting the required essays for marking (on paper), as well as using the forum for questions about ideas, resources and so on. <br /><br />After only a short time of use, all have agreed that it'll be worth paying the new costs for ning to keep it going, as it has been a revelation to them all. <br /><br />And I feel just a little smug!Christine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-10014956988925395012010-05-21T07:09:49.008+01:002010-05-21T07:09:49.008+01:00I've had a couple of responses via Twiter.

Great article called "Are you ready for m-learning?" - worth googlingDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.com
