Hello everyone. Thanks for putting in some great bookmarks to the group; I don't know about you but already there have been some websites put in that I'll be able to use when teaching my classes. My focus when I began the group was for history teachers to share links that could be used as classroom resources and sites for student research and I think that seems to be working. I was wondering though - do any of you have any suggestions on how to make this work better for you? Everyone has a slightly different focus in the way they teach and the things they want to implement. So is there anything we can do to help you get the most out of this group? Whether it's collaboration with other classes, annotations (great idea Matt!) or anything else that I can't think of? If the 'web 2.0' prophets are right then things like diigo should be revolutionising education. If any of you have any ideas on how we can work together to make that happen then please share what you think. I'll be adding heaps of bookmarks for history teaching in the coming weeks that I've built up over the years. Please feel free to do the same. Have a nice summer those of you in the northern hemisphere while we're down here trying not to get that pig flu! Take care, David.
