Yesterday’s workshop went well, thanks to all the support rendered by fellow colleagues, and also not to forget the teachers participants. Have yet to look through the feedback forms, but do hope that teachers have some useful takeaways on this first morning of the one week break.
Thanks for all the time taken to fill up the yellow activity sheet. Will be posting the findings to this blog after collation. As promised, the URLs to the slide and handouts:
1. Presetation slides by Edublog.NET (ppt)
2. Blogger.com HOWTO (zip)
3. Bloglines.com HOWTO (zip)
4. SingTel Moblog.com Intro and Guide (pdf)
If you would like to setup your home computer systems with the free built-in WinXP Chinese Language Input Method Editor, you may grab the user guide here.
In the meantime, if you would like to seek support in implementation of blogs in your classroom or your school, feel free to drop us an email at hpinit2@edublog.net
Cheers!

Edublog Sharing at CLIT-Link session
I had the opportunity to share with fellow CL teachers at Vista Lab (Lvl 18) about edublogs and our HPINIT experiment. It was a very quick sharing, no slides prepared 😛
Some concerns were raised and addressed. These included HanyuPinyin input issue and monitoring issue.
Later, 9 of the teachers demonstrated very keen interest and we came down to 15-01 for another round of discussion. Teachers exchanged some ideas on how blogs can possibly be used and they would have been given a blogger.com walkthru if the network was up.
Anyway, the teachers will be going back to try out blogger.com sign-up on their own and we’ll plan on our next step of support.

3rd Edublog Workshop
This afternoon at Nan Chiau High Sch Computer Lab 4, we have a group of 21 enthusiastic teachers with us to learn more about blogs. During the 2.5 hours (1430-1700) session, we have had an overview of edublogs, bloglines, as well as a quick discussion on how they believe blogs can be integrated into their teaching and learning.
Here are some photos of the day:
