Definately love this presentation on Life Long Learning. Have a look see - best viewed in Internet Explorer as some web browsers may not display images and text content.

The habit of a life long learner that I would find the most easiest would have to be 'Play' after all I am a visual and kinaesthetic learner, I need to do in order to embedd the learning and link the new information with the prior knowledge. (A connective theory of learning)

The habit that I would find challenging would have to be the goal setting, and I dont mean motherhood goal statement, I mead nutting out the detail goals. I think the challenging part is spending time on it and developing the strategies to get there.

I like the idea of the learning plan - might just go out an do one of these for what I am researching at the moment.

Podbean - Podcasting

Teacher tube - the educators you tube

Ah you just have to love teacher tube - I was on last week watching a piece created by an American teacher about early settlementof America - very interesting. The teacher used pictures that used fade transitions, audio overly of hime telling the story and a quiet subtle over lay of music. He chose the music wisly and added dramatic music to dramatic parts of the story which added to the engagement of the resource. Well it had me for a full 10 minutes and believe me thats hard for someone to achieve.

The only downsize is the larger file formats and longer download times in some cases.

Just love KompoZer

Did you ever want to create a resource that could bring a variety of resources together including web links, e-games, media and documents in the one simple to use resource - maybe its an auto run CD-ROM or a website/group of html pages located on a LMS.

Well I would be advising you to create some html (web pages) and use links to open your resources. By using CSS you can create some swanky looking resources.

Click on the link below to view a group of html pages created in a WYSIWYG html editor.

Graphics in e-learning

Don't know anything about html or web pages? then KompoZer is just the right tool for you. It is a tool that you can use to create html pages, however you don't need any special knowledge, just basic computer skills and if you use WORD - you will be streets ahead.

Tagging - A better way to bookmark

I use delicious for my tagging because it is an online bookmarking tool - Web2.0 of course!

Using my favourites on my computer relies on the fact that I always use the same computer to surf the Internet, however often I am not and I tend to take work home with me. I use delicious so that my favourite websites and pages are tagged online, therefore it does not matter what computer I am on, all I need is an Internet connection and web browser and I am there.

I find delicious is a collaborative too, as I often browse mt team members delicious tags for websites they find useful.
