Many thanks to those who attended my sessions at the Kings Heath Leading Edge INSET today. I had a great time and your enthusiasm was infectious. I hope you go away and start using Web 2.0 stuff. More at the edte.ch workshop, or click on the image above for the slides!

Click on the ‘workshop’ tab at the top to access the wiki. Have a look at the different toolboxes being put together so far:
Feel free to add pages and information to what’s there so far. In addition, each presentation that edte.ch do will be added to the workshop. 🙂
