Now that you've had a few weeks getting comfortable with emerging
technologies and personal learning environments, please take a minute
to share your thoughts in the main discussion forum on:

If you've been following the emails over the course, you are aware
that Dave and I have been trying to encourage you to contribute and
participate in the moodle forums. We have not scheduled live sessions
(in Elluminate or similar tool) because we are concerned about
bandwidth. However, if you feel a live session would be of value for
you, please let us know. We can schedule a session and see if
bandwidth from various schools/universities in Africa will work...
