I am happy as my clustermaps is finally working-and some people in the USA are having a look...I also have to concentrate on one thing at a time. There is so much to do at the moment. I will check out Rockyou really soon. I have put your blog on the forntpage of my blog and will attempt to put it on my blogroll-if I can get to it-have had problems in the past. Have a great week! Kate I need to ask permission to make the private class blog public-or at least part of it. HI Pam,

Sounds as though you're going to be very busy. Love to know how you go using Voicethread with the class. Bubblehare is till around, but I've been using Rockyou.com to embed photo slideshows on my blog. I think Glogster looks really interesting but I also think that I need to concentrate on one new thing at a time!! Pam Hi Kate

I expect that I will get stuck into Stellarium-I will have to avoid it a bit for now until I get my planning and Voice Thread compulsion to integrate into my class to a point when I can get stuck into a fascinating thing like space and Stellarium. I am declicious tagging everything and am into our unit for this term-Energy Systems. So I found a great webiste on Leonardo's machines-I think I'll go down a flight, wind energy, kites-planes- toy design angle. See where it goes-I found a heap of resources on paper planes/oregami. Took a while but I found it. If you know of any good sites for energy transfer/ simple machines let me know... I am sure I would find something on your blog if I delved deep enough-will do that soon. So you 6 year old blogs! Wow-Dvolver looks great and Toondoo. I could play all day with this stuff. Thanks for your ideas! Thanks Cyberspaced Educator (PC),

I too have made all my stuff available through slideshare. As far as astronomy goes I am a stellarium nut... download it and play with it. It is great because it is a free download and the kids can do it at home looking at the night sky to put names to stars and planets etc. I know it is good because I have converted some of my technophobic science staff members with a pd session.. they had a great time. You can also track satellites (and the space shuttle when it is up) with a website also on my blog. I have a stellarium starter worksheet that you can download via googledocs.. see blog. Things you may like to get students to embed into their blog... My newest toys....Voki and Glogster. Dvolver Movie maker (my six year old blogs and has one on his blog) Various Comics like toondoo and comix creator. Hope this isn't too overwhelming.... Hi Kate,

I learned a lot and it was great to find links to class blogs outside Australia. I have passed them on to the participants in the Learning and Teaching with the Internet Extensions course I am conducting at present. My own class is having a go at a class blog http://room20.edublogs.org We must connect with the other class blogs too. Thanks for your presentation at the CEGSA Conference Kate .

You can also embed your presentation slides into your blog via <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/" rel="nofollow">Slideshare</a> so that those without Powerpoint can still check out your presentation.
