By adopting a culture of gifting, sharing and tireless support for new WikiEducators we continue to welcome new leaders and champions into the fold. This is what education was meant to be! We'll continue on this path. Still lots of work before we have OERs in support of all national curricula at all levels. Hey -- we'll be able to tell our grandchildren amazing stories about the early days of our phenomenal project! Cheers Wayne 2009/6/18 Savithri Singh singh.savit...@gmail.com Congratulation to all of you Organisers of the BIG online workshop and all of us in WE.

You're participating in the largest L4C online workshop in the history of WE, with 280 people signing up for this workshop. We're also on the verge of 10,000 registered users! Three years ago -- there was one registered user. I held the previous record of faciliting a workshop with 170 registered participants and I am pretty chuffed that Nellie, Gitta, Gladys, Benjamin, and Rima now hold the new record :-). Well done What an amazing team of facilitators spread across the international time zones of Mexico, Israel, Yemen/Saudi Arabia and India -- literally 24/7 support! This is team work. More importantly each of our amazing facilitors are graduates of previous L4C workshops demonstrating the potential of our open wiki model to scale! This team of facilitators have taken L4C workshops to a new level! I'm amazed to see the innovations and improvements in using the wiki technology to support learning when compared to our rather conventional teaching approaches early in the project. From my desk a BIG thank you to the team in pioneering new wiki teaching approaches. I must concede that WikiEducator has been the most rewarding project of my professional career. My faith in education has been restored seeing so many educators from around the world committed to developing educational materials which we can share and reuse :-). Its interesting -- I've yet to meet Nellie, Gitta, Benjamin, Rima or Gitta face-to-face -- yet they are now close professional freinds --- along with so many WikiEducators around the world. WikiEducator has now embarked on a new phase of development to scale up our work beyond Commonwealth countries. I hope that you'll help us in spreading the word among colleagues and friends to join us in turning the promise of OER into today's reality. Welcome to the WikiEducator family!
