Very, very cool. Would be great on a big screen too. I used to make QTVR but nothing is as engaging as video. Check out this virtual tour of a classroom I did when I taught English in Japan: http://want.jetalumni.org/vrtour.htm Thanks for sharing Paul Hi Jean,

I love your statement: <i>My experience in the classroom has convinced me that one of the most important factors influencing worthwhile interactions in the classroom is the <b>free exchange of ideas between all participants</b>. As educators we cannot expect our learners to do it all on our terms, we must be prepared to meet our students on their ground.</i> (bolding is mine). I totally agree with you, but I'm not sure all educators would - especially those that are new to web 2.0. If you have teachers that have already embraced this frame of mind (and how fabulous that would be!) you may be able to help them by pre-selecting tools that are not blocked by the school's filter and sharing ideas for how to use them in the classroom. One simple step at a time. Wow! I love your statement:

I also always meant to thank you for testing out my voicethread of 'sentence in a day' as yours worked and you must have just come on, as I stopped moderating the comments. So thanks for that. Will try and find you on classroom20 as well as I have been a member there for a long time and have got so much out of its membership. I also love your header image!

It's free, independent, and has over 20 different categories of discussion. There's even a page just on young people issues. Check it out at http://ozideas.wetpaint.com/?t=anon.
