            <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;I am not a teacher but work with them everyday.&nbsp; I'm always excited when they embrace technology and use it in the classroom.</p><p>&nbsp;One teacher is already planning to use MP3 players for her students this year by using her new microphone headsest to record stories for her students to listen to.</p><p>&nbsp;I'm currently testing out Mediawiki which is the basis for Wikipedia as a documentation site for our IT department.&nbsp; It doesn't have much but I've shared it with a couple of co-workers who liked the idea.&nbsp; I also showed our IT Educational Consultant who is looking for a web based system to hold educational data or reference files for all teachers. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Mediawiki or any other wiki would make it easy to add pages as needed, edit or update the pages by anyone and the ability to search for any key words.&nbsp; The idea of editing pages by any teachers allows for easy collaboration with other teachers and up-to-date materials.</p><p>I would like to see more open source software and web based projects such as Moodle used by teachers and students.&nbsp; There are some great ideas and solutions that are available that can enhance student learning.&nbsp; (I like my job but I want to expand my skills and try new things).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
