Dear Oliver, It is with such delight I read your email to us this morning and couldn't you have been more accurate in the description and detail of your observations when it comes to the people in our community involved in WikiEducator. It all started with the brilliant idea and the recognition for the need by Wayne, and was following by passion, dedication, commitment, giving freely and voluntarily to our large community that has made this project what we are today. It has never stopped to amaze me to see so many people coming together to help grow an idea that will make an impact in the lives of others.
It is because of people like you and our community that we work tireless behind the scene, to make reach our goals. We are only three years old next month. Knowledge, Passion, sharing and collaboration are all key elements on WikiEducator and in our community. Thank you for joining our WikiEducator family. Hope we will see a lot of you. With much thanks and warm regards, Patricia -----Original Message----- From: wikieducator@googlegroups.com [mailto:wikieduca...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Oliver Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 3:03 AM To: WikiEducator Subject: [WikiEducator] Re: WiZiQ Live Conference: WikiEducator Personal Learning Environment (PLE) Hi Everyone, First of all I'd like to thank Patricia, Nellie and Gladys for facilitating the WE on line workshops. And of course, all the other participants of my eL4C21 workshop group and among which Anil, Phil and Benjamin.....and Wayne, who have honored me by visiting and contributing to my page or allowed me to contribute to theirs. Thank you all, You''ll be on my watch list. The workshop's Collaborative Content creation efforts have been one of the greatest experience I've had in several years. Finding, comments and encouragements, from wikineighbours in Mexico in the evening. Next morning thank you's and solutions from India, Israel or US. This blurred line, as Nellie said so well, between teacher- learner and adopter and adopted roles is a wonderful, stimulating experience. I think Nellie said in one of her comments that I am a natural ! Thanks for that one and yes that would be me. As I have no formal training as an educator, but am very passionate and eager to learn and share about my subjects, which presently really are oysters (in particular) but all see foods, in fact, and Linux (in particular) and Open Source in general and now WE which are all really great sharing models. Two aspects, I always though, make for a success stories, in any enterprise: Knowledge and Passion The revelation of WikiEducator and, maybe, also its greatest gift (to me), is realizing the need to add this third aspect: Sharing It seems that Knowledge and Passion and Sharing are cornerstones of successful individual and community empowerment. So I'll be in touch with you all on WE to look for opportunities to learn, share and work on eLearning Content, shortly. I may be absent for some intermittent periods, being in the process of setting up a new business (based on above trinity), connected travel and even some copyright legal issues needing to be resolved (......) but I can assure you I'll be keeping in touch, update and cleanup my user:Lebreton pages and view yours. Lots of interesting reading:) so hope for and trust upon your indulgence and patience... I 've subscribed to this main email discussion group and will proudly add the wikkybuddy logo to my website and curriculum, and submit articles and links to Blogs whenever opportune. This last one might even be something to request all workshop participants to do, somewhere along the line, and in doing so generate even more interest in WikiEducators and eL4C. WE thank you, Oliver On Apr 4, 9:56 am, Gladys Gahona <gladysgah...@gmail.com> wrote: > Date/Time: Starting in 5 mins > > Link:http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/119247-Wikieducator-as-a-Personal-L... > > Cheers. > > Gladys --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
