I have added one photo so far!<br /><br />I agree it is all a bit overwhelming with numerous emails/ different groups to explore. What I have done is changed the settings so I don't receive over 60 emails every day notifying me of everybody's comments. I prefer to check updates myself on the Ning usually once a day.<br /><br />I am really excited to learn more about Flickr, tags and Creative Commons Licence etc.<br /><br />Like you, I will have more time over the weekend to complete Week one tasks. Will connect with you on the Ning soon!Janet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-77519404526219801492010-01-14T11:16:20.814-08:002010-01-14T11:16:20.814-08:00Hi Mike

You'll find that the blogosphere is a very fascinating world and you will connect with so many people who will help and share their knowledge.<br /><br />Thank you for the Wikipedia link! I had heard of Tony Cascarino the Irish footballer, so yet another dimension to Arabella!<br /><br />Good luck with your blogging adventure. I am sure you will have a lot of fun!Janet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-70248534090573248042010-01-14T11:07:42.857-08:002010-01-14T11:07:42.857-08:00Hi Anne
Thank you for commenting back on my blog....Hi Anne<br /><br />Thank you for commenting back on my blog. You have started off a really interesting discussion with your post on your blog and I look forward to seeing how it develops.<br /><br />Your Moodle course sounds very comprehensive and I am sure it will work very well. I have read that "Hot Potatoes" is a good testing programme which works well in Moodle. Also, "Quizlet" is a nice, fun testing programme to recycle vocabulary etc.<br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement! I really consider myself to be a novice Moodler and I have not actually used it yet as a teaching platform on my own, so to speak. It's different when you are learning in a team. I am currently contributing to a gardening/cooking project in my Moodle for Teachers class and I am really enjoying it. At the same time I am reviewing how to use the features. It all takes a lot of practice!<br /><br />Say Hi to Helmut from me! Tonight I will be limiting my Internet use to 9pm and then I will switch off the computer and relax and watch an Italian film on RAI Uno and enjoy a glass of Trebbiano d'Abruzzo with Karl.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />JanetJanet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-69539667835659981862010-01-14T09:52:06.895-08:002010-01-14T09:52:06.895-08:00How are you doing with the platform?

I think I got through most of the 1st week's "tasks" but am a little overwhelmed by the number of possible exchanges, platforms to explore, emails coming in...<br /><br />I think summer would have probably been a better time for me to sign up! But I am going to try to spend some time on it this weekend.

Have added your blog to my RSS feeds as I'm starting to think about the 'What next...?' in terms of my own professional development. I'll certainly be interested to hear how you get on!<br /><br />Why didn't I put this comment on your later posting - well I wanted to draw your attention to another famous Cascarino http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Cascarino :-)Mike Harrisonhttp://mikeharrison.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-23156589866127557822010-01-14T08:49:11.198-08:002010-01-14T08:49:11.198-08:00Kudos to you, and lots of success on this big, big...Kudos to you, and lots of success on this big, big project :)<br /><br />I'm trying my hand at an extensive Moodle course which is essentially a compendium of everything you ever wanted (and didn't want) to know about grammar, for university students/ self-learners, so the course is one long test. <br />... I know ... sort of sad ... not exactly what you want to do with Moodle ...<br />Anyway: I've got all the basics and even a few books, but I'm not really happy with the limitations of the software for making tests, and am looking for some more variation so it's more engaging. So if you have any experience in Moodle tests, or connect up with anyone who does, please do let me know!<br /><br />Thanks very much for your comment on my blog... and be sure to drink Karl's wine ;) (Helmut says hello!)Anne Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225113474074315864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-67962233867576571922010-01-09T07:14:47.928-08:002010-01-09T07:14:47.928-08:00Hi Betty

I've never taken a Ning course like that so it should be interesting.
