About Me

Hello, and thanks for visiting my page on me.edu.au. I have a number of online presences, and I can't give my attention to all of them, so if you would like to know more or get in touch with me, I'd suggest you head over to my main blog at www.betchablog.com. Over there, you'll find articles, photos, tutorials and links to other podcasts, wikis and moodles that I maintain. Below is an RSS feed of my most recent blog posts if you feel like browsing them... Thanks for dropping by. Chris

Hi Chris - just wanted to say thanks for your blog. It is a fantastic source of ideas and links. I agree about the 'how many networks' issue. Finding ways for educators to aggregate many networks is one of the big questions for the me.edu.au beta.

Set up a Me account here just to have a play, but I wonder just how many online communities I can belong to and still find them effective? On top of a blog, a podcast, several Nings, Twitter, Second Life and a whole lot of feeds in my feedreader, I'm just not sure how many ways one can split their energy... what do you guys think?
