Wimba's Blog

Mike Orey of University of Georgia appears on eLearning Queen blog and podcast

For years, Dr. Susan Smith Nash has been a thought-leader within the distance education industry, and a few years ago she started a now popular blog: eLearning Queen.  Last week she interviewed Professor Mike Orey of the University of Georgia to learn more about how he uses Wimba Classroom to teach students live online at two universities in Brazil.  As she writes about Orey, "His insights and core philosophy of online education are valuable for all educators and administrators interested in motivating students and rehumanizing the online learning space."  Listen to the podcast here.

Blendedschools.net video podcasts and Wimba

As you know, we love to have our customers talk about how they're using technology in the classroom.  And when they show off via video and/or podcasting, it's always better.  So I'm pleased to bring “Mark and Mark in the Morning” to your attention.  Created by Mark Gensimore (Project Manager) and Mark Radcliffe (Training Specialist) of Pennsylvania’s innovative blendedschools.net, Mark and Mark have created a monthly video podcast during which they discuss new and upcoming tools and services that are provided to blendedschools.net districts.

I’m pleased to announce that Mark Gensimore will be speaking at Wimba Connect 2008 in Orlando in 3 weeks as well.
