Hey Leigh This was just the kind of little problem I could get my teeth into as soon as someone mentioned Macs. I've just done a trial and while not perfect, it kind of worked - http://wikieducator.org/User:AlisonRuth/eXe_Trial_upload A version (slightly different, i think) to what I uploaded is

Yes, Leigh, I can see a connection of the handouts and this idea of having students develop their own OER for their current grade... I'm going to start talking with my local school district to see where all this might go, build form there... Peter On Apr 30, 1:28 pm, Leigh Blackall [EMAIL

Wayne, I agree this really needs to be driven by teachers and their students and we to find a way where the student work in creating OER ties back to assignments or grades. And I like the idea of connecting it with the IT class. These are all ideas I will take with me to my meetings with

Randy, After my conversation with you on SKYPE, I tried to understand what was missing.; was it the fact that wikispace is easier or something else? I came to the conclusion that teachers are not ready. We need to help teachers change their mind sets and pay less attention to technology. Once

Hi Nellie, You may (or not) be aware, that we are going to start up regular webconferences, as per Leigh's suggestion (weekly). I've put you down as a presenter - hope you don't mind - you might want to present on a single aspect of collaborative technology / application, and let the ensuing

Hi Randy, Rose Welcome to the Wiki Way, Rose. I have just put some info in WikiEducator about the process, but I was wondering how your materials were stored. If they are traditional (ubiquitous) word documents, you can start the process by using word's built in HTML saving functions. However,
