Where are the updates?

Ok, Ok... it's been a while. I blame year-end crazyness, a family trip, and getting ready for summer school.

That last one took a while, as I wanted to try some web 2.0 things in summer school that I've never used with a class before. Setting up the Ning (and updating the course web site) took some time, but it was totally worth it. Thomson Summer School Ning membership is growing daily, and I see students using this space for project collaboration already: it's only day 2! My in-Ning blog gets updated often, and I'm seeking comment feedback on the nature of the course itself, as well as offering reminders & updates.

Twitter accounts are growing as well: 1/4 of the class is now following me (thomsonro), and I hope to get into some back-channeling next week.

If the marking doesn't pile up too much, I'll update this blog with my summer school web 2.0 experiences often. Feel free to comment back if you've used Ning or Twitter in classroom contexts before.
