Now I have a theory that there are four distinct types of cloud computing.
Here is my visuals to show this.

I feel quite strongly that a survival skill in this age of potential 'information overload' is to quantify and visualise our own personal learning network PLN.

Shambles Newsletter February 2010
The February 2010 edition of the Shambles newsletter is now online at http://www.shambles.net/newsletter/february2010
There are only three a year so not many to look at.
I'm really pleased with how this edition has turned out ... and I'm also very grateful for the suggestions and contributions received.
I pretty certain that there will be something in the newsletter that will be of interest to you and your colleagues ... please feel free to pass the link around, it is public.
One section that is bulging is that listing conferences, courses and workshops especially in S.E.Asia ... including some for the next academic year ... your staff i/c teacher professional development should find this particularly useful.
All at: http://www.shambles.net/newsletter/february2010
Next newsletter will be in May ...
Have fun
Chris Smith (Shamblesguru)
p.s. Happy Chinese New Year .... Year of the Tiger ... Tigerlicious ;-)

BarCamp in Chiangmai Thailand
Yesterday I attended a BarCamp in Chiangmai ...

I really like this concept for organising a conference ... which can be initially very frightening when experienced for the first time .... turning up for a one day conference and there is absolutely no pre-planned programme.

- I use the same combo of web tools and completely agree with your thinking. Unless you have a professional need, DW etc isn't something you have time to learn. Many of the teachers I work with are in training to become online teachers. Even for these folks, I don't recommend DW, although greater awareness of html and the underpinnings of the Internet are a professional necessity.
I'm pretty sure you could get an interactive mindmap out of most of the online brainstorming tools like Mindmiester and bubbl.us.
It's good to connect Chris!

- Chris, I really enjoyed your video tour and conceptual overview of a personal learning network. Combining mind-mapping and web 2.0 technologies works for me. http://screenr.com/md8
Shambles PLN were perfect keywords for finding this part of your site:
http://www.shambles.net/csmith/pln/
Did you do the hot-linked image chart using with html or using a web tool?
I see too that you're using Screenr.com. I prefer it over Jing because (for now) there's more free flexibility for publishing the videos. I've been a fan of Shambles for a long time. Great to connect with you online.

Love to join you and co-teach a session with you dear friend at ISTE 2010!
I'm very glad to be here. I wanted you all to know that I'm trying to put together a "Birds of a Feather" session ... which I guess is the first step in putting together a Special Interest Group (SIG) for Literacy because apparently there isn't one…
A place to share web 2.0 literacy tools, best practices, tips and tricks of the trade, and how to hook your administrators and educators to use the web 2.0 literacy tools effectively and efficiently in K-12 education.
Susanna- we are so glad you have joined our group and look forward to your sharing of resources to make us a stronger community of educators!
WOW- I've just been reading the few posts on the first page and I'm already so excited to have joined this group!! I just joined ISTE on Friday (had to wait until I had enough money to do so) and this was the first group other than the BOF group tha…
Hi Sarah! (My daughters name is Sara!) I do think our topics are very similar... but I also think that there is so much within each topic ...research- and yours- you could even integrate dual language as well- do you think adding on Literacy would b…
Come help members of the TIE Colorado board make plans for New Frontiers, TIE's 2011 conference. We will acknowledge the success of our ISTE 2010 presenters, and remind you about social gatherings for TIE and with our regional partners (AZ, WY, UT,…
Help us plan birds-of-a-feather sessions or request a meeting time for your group at ISTE 2010.
I think our aims are very similar--innovating language instruction, language arts instruction, and the advocacy of instructional technology/literacy across curriculum. Perhaps our Birds of of the same nest?
SIG-LITERACY:OK- I'm going to try this again... I thought I sent a message just a minute ago but I don't know if it posted. What I had mentioned was that I think it is very important to create a Special Interest Group around the topic of Literacy. W…
Just saw your note...I am offering a BIRD on the subject of innovation to language instruction (specifically Second Language and the core skills--READING, WRITING, Listening & Speaking). Comment on my link with any other thoughts. We are in agreemen…
