In a world where we place so much value on competitiveness, we have awards for everything.
Now, there are the Twitties.
In a number of categories including “Best Tweet”, “Funniest Tweet”, “Smartest Tweet”, … various tweets from Twitter have been nominated as the best of the best for the year.  Not quite sure how, or why, or [...]]]> http://www.commun-it.org/community/dougpete/weblog/3700.html http://www.commun-it.org/community/dougpete/weblog/3700.html Sat, 06 Sep 2008 10:45:32 GMT http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/links-for-2008-9-6/

This has been the summer of Web 2.0 for me. I’ve put a concerted effort into learning all that I can and expand my Personal Learning Network.
I have spent considerable time developing one of my Wikis and created a course for the summer for North American teachers who get July/August holidays called “8 Weeks to [...]]]> http://www.commun-it.org/community/dougpete/weblog/3682.html http://www.commun-it.org/community/dougpete/weblog/3682.html Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:38:39 GMT http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/tips/

Google Chrome became available for download this afternoon.
Ever the adventurer, I decided to take a look at it.  After all, I downloaded Internet Explorer 8 the other day…
