Derek Wenmoth is a person we should all take the opportunity to learn about. He is a teacher, principal, and teacher educator, but was it the most interesting about him is he is the eLearning director for the CORE program in New Zealand. CORE is a program that is responsible for students using technology early on the childhood centers. Derek uses modern technology to contribute a wide range of projects through the use of eLearning and ICT programs. A brief bio of Derek Wenmoth and his work is provided for you at http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=181.


Below is the technology center in the El Alsson School in Cairo. Even in another country, students are learning many of the same things as us, in the states. The students learning skills at the El Alsson School are beyond impressive. They learn English as an additional language. They also study French as a third language. Their manners are great. They are inquisitive and polite.


As interesting as it is, international blogs are used similar to our blogs. They use their blogs to follow up to date current potent information. Blogs are basically a two-way communication stream. You have the opportunity to read what is put out there for you, and then the opportunity to respond to it freely.
Some blogs have additional links to view more websites. Some have slideshows, user files, and categories. You can even go the archive and search by the dates for the most recent or the ones that were used first. It is pretty much fair game how you choose to do your blogs. It is up to you.
