Hi John and group. I was pleased to stumble across this Diigo group. I've been using Diigo for a while and I think it is great. Love the annotation tools.
I am also pleased to stumble across a group with members from Manitoba. I've been teaching a online course for Brandon University in their Education graduate studies program. The course is called BU:07561 "ICT for Teachers" and it was inspired by the excellent Literacy with ICT initiative in Manitoba.
ICT for Teachers is designed to be a guided exploration of a number of Web 2.0 tools that are being applied in teaching and learning and referenced in the Literacy with ICT continuum. http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/tech/lict/show_me/index.html
The course is very "hands-on" and participants (mostly working teachers throughout Manitoba) learn to use blogs, wikis, RSS, tagging, VOIP, podcasting, web video, and other online collaborative tools.
Reflection plays a large role in the course. As people learn to use the tools there is an expectation that they use the tool to generate substantive content which is shared with the group.
The main objective of the course is to have participants think critically about web-based tools once they actually know how they work from first hand experience. Another important objective is to have people consider how they would structure action research projects to assess the impact of web-based tools in teaching and learning.
I would be very interested to hear from others in Manitoba about issues related to ICT and web-based networks.
Thanks for the post. It's great to her what your doing out at Brandon Univ. My colleague John Finch has mentioned your name and I think has gone out to speak with your class about Lit with ICT.
Teachers need to hear about these tools and its great to see that they are finding out at our Faculties of Education. This is one way that they can see the benefits and discuss there use prior to getting into the classroom full time.
Thanks again for the post and keep up the great work.

I am a teacher in Manitoba, using ICT as much as possible. Just wondering if the ICT for teachers course will be offered again.

I've put together a wiki that you may find helpful at http://joevans.pbwiki.com and I also blog irregularly at http://nlcommunities.com/communities/joevans/default.aspx.
Thanks again for the post and keep up the great work.
