That one sounds like more of a wrap for you Leigh :-)

it's also on the front page of Wikispaces... http://www.wikispaces.org/ (and i didn't put it there ;-))

I noticed it on the front page of wikispaces. I thought it had something to do with when you said wikispaces was supporting blended learning. Its the first time my blog has been mentioned on someone elses blog outside the country. Feels good and a great motivator. I'm sure the same would be felt by students if their blog was mentioned outside as well. I guess it depends who by. But worth noting as a motivational element made posible through blogging.

Definitely! It would be unreal to help students to join the global conversation in whatever area they're interested in. I haven't had the joy yet myself :-( But then i'm not writing about anything lately... just reading! Can't stop reading!

I've started commenting on other blogs trying to let people know about blendedlearning.wikispaces.org . I keep coming across other resources that are either owned or hard to contribute to - think our wiki could provide such a great opportunity... but at a loss as to how to 'invite' others (not explicitly, but rather to make sure that blendedlearning invites participation/contribution instead of looking like some control freak wanting benefit from everyone else's ideas ;-) Any ideas?

I think a list of things that need to be done might help. I have been very tempted to get in there and remix a bit, but don't know where would be OK and where would offend original authors... I remember you mentioning that you wanted more graphics... and I'm about to start putting screengrabs into the "everything you need..." and was thinking to use the wikispaces for the screencasts generally (depending who they print out). So I'll be in there a bit today, forgive me if I do something you don't like...
