[kru...@gmail.com]

Dear Friends,

Please introduce yourself to our group here. Tell us who you are,
where you are from, what you are doing and how you came to
WikiEducator. What are you hoping to get out of this free training
opportunity and what are you planning to do with the newly gained

[Jaap Bosman]

Hallo group,

I am Jaap, web editor for Kennisnet, the national educational website
of the Netherlands (www.kennisnet.nl)
As a web editor i am always looking for new content, that is how i
found out about the course and wikieducator.
I will use the course to teach my 'readers' how to improve their
skills and knowledge.
I am also involved in a Dutch project called wikiwijs, a national open
source program to exchange lessons etc..
I heve been a teacher in all kinds of schools with pupils from 3 to 58
years old.
Am very curious how else is in this course. Maybe you did notice
English is not my first language.
kind regards Jaap Bosman

[ENDORSER]

Hi dear all group members

I am ENDRIS UMER, from Ethiopian Management Institute. I found about
this course while I was looking for a Human Resource Development
network in Africa as a am an HRD manager in my institute. I am mailnly
responsible for the employees development in my organization. I think,
this course will help me a lot to do my job on e-learning by using IT
technology. I also have a plan to introduce or expand the widieducator
network in my organizatin and my country.

Best regards

ENDRIS UMER

[Sarah Stewart]

Hello everyone

My name is Sarah Stewart and I will be working 0.5 in 2010 at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand as an educational developer and facilitator. I am also be setting up a consultancy business aiming to help people in organisations and companies to think about how they can use social media and eLearning to improve communication and collaboration amongst their staff. I am a midwife and midwifery educator so my focus tends to be health.

I used Wikieducator to develop resources for a research project I have been part of this year - Second Life Education New Zealand: http://wikieducator.org/The_virtual_birthing_unit_project
So I feel comfortable with very basic wiki skills. So my aim for the course is to grow my skills so I do things like add media, develop brochures and ultimately be cofident enough to edit wikipedia.

Look forward to meeting everyone, best wishers, Sarah

Welcome to WikiEducator Jap,

 

You are a wonderful example of how one could make use of what WikiEducator has to offer. Create a project page, once you are ready to go and teach from WikiEducator directly is definitely the way to do this. You can always use integrated technologies to do what you need, bringing in additional knowledge to enhance your training, but all should be led back to WE.

Nice to see you here.

Warm wishes,

Patricia

Hi, everybody. My name is Phil and I am a recovering copyright holder.
I have taken the tutorials several times because I am a slow learner.
The only way I can learn it is to take a small step at a time. In my
retirement, this is a marvelous way to stay involved and productive.
Every time i learn something new I try it out an as many ways as I can
think; by involving myself I learn better. Come visit my home page and
share comments with me.
Cheers
Phil

My interest on this workshop is:
1) better understand the process of creation and maintenance of the

2) start creating our contributing to wikis around the subjects I
lecture in my classes
3) collaborate whenever i can in the translation of content to
Portuguese.

[Sandy]

Hello everyone,

I am currently "between jobs" - a year ago I resigned from my position
as a Vocational Education and Training (VET) Manager and have had this
year mostly as a recuperating/resting/learning year (although I have
been doing some consultancy as well). Next year it is back to full
time work - just have to find it :) Currently living a very short
walk from Bondi Beach in Sydney and am studying the Diploma in
Training and Assessment at Northern Sydney TAFE.

Have set up a wiki before as part of my course. This can be viewed
here http://trainingmethods.wikispaces.com/
And I am reasonably active in contributing to this group blog site
Train Teach Assess http://trainteachassess.wordpress.com/

Found out about this course and WikiEducator because I follow Sarah
Stewart's very interesting blog and she mentioned that she was doing
this course - Hi Sarah!

I am hoping to get more knowledge and skills about how wiki's can be
used for educational collaboration and learning (secretly, I would
like to see a wiki textbook on Adult Education and Training - 80 AUD
plus for textbook is outrageous and not everybody can afford it!)

What am I planning to do with this new knowledge? Maybe start an
Adult Education and Training Wiki ;) Also want to use wikis in my
facilitating (especially when it is online).

Looking forward to having FUN with you all,
Sandy

[Sarah Stewart]

Hey Sandy, great to meet you...always lovely to hear that someone reads my blog  :)

Love the idea about an adult training textbook - look forward to talking to you about this

cheers Sarah

Hi Sandy,

Welcome to WikiEducator. I love to read how people got involved in WikiEducator, it doesn't stop to amaze me where and how fast the word spreads around the world. It seems this time around we have quiet a few people who have prior knowledge. This will help our Newbies as all can jump in and in the process you are improving your own skills as well.

See you in the wiki as we say

Patricia

My area of specialization  is business education ( Accounting, Office Administration and Principles of Business) however my high school life was centered around the sciences.

[Candia Alleyne]

My name is Candia Alleyne. I am working in Grenada as a consultant
with the T.A. Marryshow Community College, and in the Caribbean with
the Caribbean Knowledge and Learning Network. I coordinate a
programme to support the development of ELearning in Caribbean
Tertiary institutions. It is in the process of implementing this
programme, while visiting the Commonwealth of Learning with a small
group from T.A. Marryshow Community College that I experienced the
passion of Wayne for OER and participated in a wikieducator workshop
faciltated by him in London at PCF5. At the CKLN our work is aimed at
fostering collaboration among tertiary institutions in the development
of courses and programmes.
I have registered for these workshops many times as both Patricia and
Wayne will know. But was unable to make the time to participate. One
of the problems is that I am not teaching staff, so deciding on a
course to develop was a challenge. My teaching experience following
graduation with a B.Sc. from UWI is in Chemistry, Biology and
Agricultural Science. I still have a passion for science as a whole.
My M.Sc. was in Food Science - Human Nutrition, with a focus on
malnutrition in infants.
So this time, I am determined to complete this course to better
facilitate the development of ELearning in the Caribbean. I believe
in the concept of OER, and thanks Wayne and Patricia for your
commitment.

Best wishes to all colleagues in this course

Candia

[Patricia Schlicht]

Dear Candia,

We feel very privileged to have you with us, Candia and are happy that despite your busy schedule you keep coming back to take up this learning opportunity, if time commitment prevented you from doing this earlier.

I am really glad you had an opportunity to experience a first taster of WikiEducator in a live session facilitated by Wayne himself during PCF5 in London (Dr. Wayne Mackintosh is the founder of WikiEducator). It is too bad that we didn't have a chance to meet in London where we were holding three parallel sessions facilitated by Wayne, Susan Dark from NZ and myself and I missed you again when you were at COL.

Welcome aboard, Candia. Feel free to ask any questions. Robert Kruhlak who is the lead facilitator of this workshop, Gladys Gahona from Mexico who has come on board last year November, Sanjay Pandagale from India who has been a wonderful WikiEducator advocate and myself will do our best to make this an inspiring learning opportunity.

Warm wishes,
Patricia

Thanks Patricia, and I look forward to the workshop and learning from
your colleagues and fellow learners. We seem to have a very
interesting range of knowledge and practice among the participants in
the workshop so I am really looking forward to participating.
Candia

[Patricia Schlicht]

Hi Candia,

This what makes this experience so very interesting, the broad spectrum of experiences and bottomline knowledge has always made the workshop very enjoyable, because everybody gets something out of it. However, it is up to the individual learner to go after it and make this suit their own needs. What I am trying to say is, make this so it fits your own environment which you could translate into the learning contract (one free lesson, study guide, teacher handout a.o in exchange for the free training).

[Seema Agnihotri]

Hai.I am Dr. Seema Agnihotri from India.I am working as a assistant
professor in ICFAI University,Dehradun.I have been associated for more
than a decade with training the Pre-service teachers in different
Universities of India.As a teacher educator,i am basically concerned
with the pedagogical issues related with teaching of the different
disciplines related with social sciences.In order to spread the true
feeling of global citizen,right approaches need to be evolved and
implemented on the ground level.The absence of this might be
responsible for carrying low perception about social sciences.During
my teaching,i focus on all these so that pre-service teachers could
understand the vitality of all knowledge as one and due role of social
sciences in the reality.

[Patricia Schlicht]

Dear Seema

You concerns is what drives development forward and in this day and age with emerging technologies and new social networking, new horizons have come to light that will give all of us new perspectives. I am looking forward to your contributions. Welcome to the WikiEducator family.

Warm wishes,
Patricia

Welcome Harrison,

 

Glad you could make it. Uganda has a large number of WikiEducators. Vincent Kizza of the Gazaya High School in Uganda has established an Open Education Resource Chapter for WikiEducator, which you might like to know about. He would be a wonderful WikiNeighbour for you.  See here http://www.wikieducator.org/OERUG

[Lawrence Lyayuka]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
I am Lawrence Lyayuka from Dar es salaam, Tanzania - East Africa.
I work for University of Dar es salaam Computing Centre as an
instructor.
I teach ICT courses and develop online content for students who use
our KEWL platform.
KEWL stand for Knowledge Enhanced Web-based Learning, http://www.elearn.ucc.co.tz/.

Recently we launched a campaign to promote the use of FLOSS products
in our region.
We started by hosting Advanced FOSS Business Model (ToT) which will
be followed by
national regional trainings year 2010. Mr. Arnold Pietersen, being
one of facilitators in ToT
intruduced the wikieducator and later briefed on this eL4C32 in the
mailing list.This training will supplement the
knowledge i have and will use the same to drive more people/
organizations in e-learning and FLOSS products. I believe
open concept is most viable and will promote development and
especially in Africa.

Kind regards
Lawrence

[Patricia Schlicht]

Welcome Lawrence to WikiEducator. Yes, Arnold informed me that he would do this and I am glad that so many took up this opportunity. There is a lot we all can learn from each other, so I am happy that you took this opportunity up.

Warm wishes,
Patricia

Mary Ziller
Hello everyone, My name is Mary. I am a beginner with wikis. I am a
librarian and TEFL certified. I am staying in Brazil with my husband,
who is on sabbatical leave. I am interested in improving my online
teaching skills and learning about wikis in education. Teaching online
seems to require a different skill set than face to face teaching and
more preparation. Here is Brazil, I do not have access to a high-end
computer or fast internet connection, which is problematic for
applications such as second life and wiziq. I am very glad to be
accepted in the commmuity and hope to contribute something of value. I
am currently active in a worksheet exchange group and create materials
for English Teachers. --Redcamarocruiser 02:48, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mary,
Glad you made it, Welcome to WikiEducator. I hope you will find this
workshop inspiring. You are saying that you do not have high-end
computer or fasst internet connection. WikiEducator has a feature called
Wiki to PDF which allows you to select any content, compile it into a
book for offline teaching, which might be helpful when it gets tougher
to use the internet.

Looking forward to your contributions

Warm wishes,
Patricia

I was pointed at Learning4Content by Sarah Stewart (thanks Sarah -
your blog seems to be working ...)

Hello, I am Bernice, sorry I did not reply earlier. I am a native of Guyana, a country  which is located on the north coast of South America. I am presently working as a  teacher in Castries Comprehensive Secondary School St Lucia West Indies. My area of specialization  is business education ( Accounting, Office Administration and Principles of Business) however my high school life was centered around the sciences. On surfing the internet I discovered Wiki  and my belief is the site has much to offer any teacher who loves to keep up  with changes.I see Wiki as a forum to empower and develop healthy interaction among teachers.
