A good example of a very fine group of them are those who have entered a "webblogging" group formed for purposes of finding out how to use blogs to improve classroom results.
In this connection, I thought it might be a good idea to share a post from one of the leaders of this group, Barbara Diew from Brazil. She and her "Twin" from Portugal, Teresa Almeida d'Eca, were the keynote speakers for Global Learn Day Eight. If you scroll way to the bottom of my text remarks you can find out what I had to say about them in my introductory remarks.

Or, as a better example of her ability and those who lead this group, please read the below and ask yourself -..how many people do you know who could offer a course in December and have 140 people signed up in mid January?

We were re-reading your introduction messages and noting down details to form a better idea of "the class" we are going to have in the next 6 weeks ;-)
Of the 136 members currently enrolled, 54 have posted their introductions, 36 (including moderators) have uploaded a photo, 40 have answered the survey and 56 placed themselves on the map (to make things easier, not necessarily the same who wrote the introductions or answered the survey...lol).
Of those who posted their introductions (54 + 3 moderators):
20 are in North America 19 are in Europe 9 are in Latin America 8 are in Asia 1 is in the Middle East
You can check out the distribution at: http://www.opensource.idv.tw/wiki/index.php/Participants_by_Geographi cal_Area#Asia
So as you can notice, many of you have not yet introduced yourselves to the group. We know that the introduction phase is officially scheduled for the first week but, if you have time now (and haven't already done so, of course), we'd love it if you could say hello to the group, upload a photo, place your pin on the map and do the survey. Also take your time to check and enroll in the various environments we will be using along the course.
With such a big and varied group, advancing a bit on the schedule will give us more time next week to respond to you individually and eventually answer any questions concerning technical difficulties you may experience.
Bookmark your weekly schedule/checklist so as to have it handy. This is where you will find the latest information and links to the various environments we will use throughout the course. http://www.beewebhead.net/Evo05/week.htm
If you have any doubts or questions please forward them to us.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Aaron, Bee and Graham
