Ruby, do you get notified when your comment (the one just above) has been responded to?

At the moment, no. I have to sign up to be notified. If I want to do that, I can use the RSS feed via Bloglines. Each page on a PB wiki is treated as a separate RSS feed, so if I sign up to receive notifications about this page I'll get notification about both changes to the page and any comments. As the administrator, you should get an email whenever someone changes or adds comments, though.

Maybe I will use wiki as a tool, because lots of files,e.g. powerpoint slides, clips can be included in wiki. How about you?

I am swaying towards using a wiki. It seems to lend itself to more collaborative learning.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but I'd have a go at clicking EDIT then (after having copied the URL from the page you want to "embed") select the ...

... "Insert/Edit Link" icon (it's a wee world with a chain). Then paste the URL into the appropriate space. Click OK. Write a little extra info about the link. Remember to click SAVE (at the bottom left). Then click VIEW. You're done!

Hi mark
I watched the YouTube clip and start thinking about our online lesson.
Do we really want our students to talk to us as if they are talking to the screen " in YouTube I'm talking to weep came not to you '?
Are we saying in our online lesson that we are a perfect teachers?
Are we asking our student to pretend to be a good student " no time pressure for example where he can spend one hour writing one sentence".
Many questions raised in my mind, the dangers one from my point of view is
Are we killing our humanity by transforming our self to a screen?
Thanks Mark

Yes. I agree. As ever, what is required is a balance. How can we achieve a balance between online and face-to-face learning? Different contexts will have different answers. Web conferencing or group chat (e.g. Skype or Gmail) will keep interaction spontaneous and real; but another question there is, "Who is ready for web conferencing/group chatting with web cams?"
