<![CDATA[Now The Nordic Voice conference is over and it was a success. I was trying horizon wimba for the first time and really liked it. My university (KHI in Iceland) has bought this system so I guess I will use that several times next semester.

Here is the elgg blog from the conference:

Here is a screenshot from my presentation in Horizon Wimba

One of my slides was a picture of my 16 year old daughter with her brand new ipod..

<![CDATA[In the e-Learn magazine there is an exellent article E-learning 2.0 By Stephen Downes http://elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=articles&article=29

Stephen mentions ELGG in the article:
"It also begins to look like a personal portfolio tool [18]. The idea here is that students will have their own personal place to create and showcase their own work. Some e-portfolio applications, such as ELGG, have already been created. IMS Global as put together an e-portfolio specification [19]. “The portfolio can provide an opportunity to demonstrate one’s ability to collect, organize, interpret and reflect on documents and sources of information. It is also a tool for continuing professional development, encouraging individuals to take responsibility for and demonstrate the results of their own learning” [20]. ”

I am trying an interesting videoblogging tool, seems very much like flickr.com photoblogging. Youtube is free, you tag your videoclips and file them under categories and people can comment on clips and rate them. It is extremely easy to upload videos, they are converted into flash files.

Here is a videoclip from a Spanish class that I attended last week. I shoot it on my small Canon Ixus digital camera. Most new digital cameras have video fidus.

<![CDATA[Continuing my open source activities. Yesterday I found a website were everyone can create free plone sites and so did I.

My new plone site:
http://salvor.objectis.net

I think the most appropriate CMS for education now are Mambo, Drupal and Plone.

Plone is suprisingly easy to use but seems very sofisticated.]]>
