everyone, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Hope
you enjoyed the holidays. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
know I certainly did, especially Kevork’s great Actionscript 3.0 course,
complete with healthy subway lunch, and poker machine building fun !<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Recently
I have started a Google Blog for the purpose of PD’ing teachers at my school in
Web 2.0. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
I thought it might be useful to share, and the site is located at this URL: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
purpose of this website is to allow anyone to learn a number of Web 2.0
applications. Many of these applications will be useful to teachers and
students alike, as well as web developers, and other users of the Internet. <br>
The site contains plenty of education based examples and detailed step by step
instructions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
Best of all, getting started in these applications is 100% free, and only
requires an email address, and a bit of time learning what to do. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
A number of "Purists" in the IT world will argue that Web 2.0
applications are just noisy, and time wasting distractions, without any real
learning or educational merit.<br>
<br>
Certainly the applications are a lot easier to work with than Visual Basic,
C++, Adobe CS3, Actionscript, and other development tools. However ease of use
is not a reason to discredit these tools from being valuable and useful
resources. <br>
<br>
For example, building websites in "Wix" is far easier and rewarding
for beginner students than raw HTML or Adobe Dreamweaver..... so why not use it.<br>
Even better, it’s 100% Free ! <br>
<br>
In the spirit of Web 2.0, feel free to use, download, share, distribute, etc
any of the materials from this site; provided they are used for strictly
non-profit purposes. <br>
<br>
Hope you enjoy Learning Web 2.0,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
