Hi everyone, and good morning wherever you are waking up today,



Today we officially start the 2011 EVO sessions

(yaayyy, throw open the blinds! beautiful day!)



Throughout the EVOsphere participants will be writing introductions.  YahooGroup lists like the Multilit one will experience a flurry of them.  There are some nice ones here at this Ning already. It might be hard to read them all. Often participants recoil at the amount of email these generate.

Hi everyone, this Ning is about to be co-opted for the next rendition of the TESOL PPOT 107 course on Multiliteracies for Social Networking…

After the official ending of Multiliteracies EVO sesssion, a few reflections on what I've achieved and how I want to continue from here.

I'm experimenting with this mind mapping tool Letizia mentioned in the Multiliteracies YG. I'm using it to represent the content of that article in Spanish I mentioned in my previous post. It gives you an embed code, so now I want to see if it works in Ning (sometimes Ning does not allow that, don't ask me why) Here it… Continue

It was amazing creating a screencast on my search on Tag Galaxy. I looked up three tags: evomlit, Webheads and Alexandria Egypt. You may wanna have a look at the screencast embedded here. The effect is maybe partially captured in this… Continue
