I’m watching a very interesting thing. At each TechForum, three or four of the sponsoring companies have about an hour to pitch their products. In the past, they have each had a certain amount of time to present. Some are very good presenters, and others are not. Atamic Learning, Quizdom, and Net-Treker are doing something new. Rather than each taking their turn, they have organized a much more integrated way to present their products, through surveies, working software, and looking up content. After all, they don’t compete with each other, except for dollars. But we know that it takes a mosaic of tools and activities to prepare children for an information-drive, technology-rich world.
Happy Cybercompliment Day! You, and your written words, inspire me daily! I continue to learn from the wikis you have set up – thank you!!
Dave,
It sounds like a very smart idea. Competition is a good thing but collaboration is even better.
Love the last sentence! Yes, it does take lots of tools, each with their own unique uses and creative uses yet to be discovered and uncovered by talented educators who are working to help students prepare for their future.
Exotic Ho Chi Minh City, still referred to as ‘Saigon’ by many, has preserved its distinctly Asian feel and ancient culture, where monks pray in the numerous pagodas, temples and mosques. The capital Hanoi, is a pleasant and charming city of lakes, shaded boulevards and public parks. The old quarter, built around the Hoan Kiem Lake, is an architectural museum-piece characterised by its narrow streets. Ha Long Bay, with its 3000-plus islands rising from the clear, emerald waters, dotted with beaches and grottoes created by waves, is one of Vietnam’s natural marvels.
