Hi John, 

It's probably not the one you saw, but Stephen Downes today mentioned Edmodo which sounds close and is specifically aimed at teachers and students I've not had time to check it out but here is the info. Hopefully this is not OT - if nothing else it has some social/ethical potential.

Edmodo is a "microblogging platform just launched,  especially designed for teachers and students, dailly life  school management, creation of students or teachers groups  in the same school or between teachers or students from different schools in different countries." It makes you log on before you get a glimpse (bleah). And I don't like the choice between 'guys' and 'ladies'. The tool itself is a bit like a structured instant messaging tool. Interesting, possibly worthwhile. Nicely coded.

Good Morning folks,

Here is another off topic!

During last year's VITTA conference there was a presenter that promoted a kid friendly "my space" for schools. Does anyone know what the name of the site is.


Kindest regards,

John
