*The Network

* I write the posts.

*My network passes them on to Facebook. I don’t.

*My posts are automatically tweeted on Wordpress and in turn are often retweeted.

*Wordpress is very proactive in getting the information out there.

*My slideshows and presentations can often be used on my blogs. I tweet them out and others pass them on.

*My posts are featured on other internet sites.

*My first blogs

*My first blogs are still going.

*Talk of the Town is centred in Adelaide but I cover anything I want to talk about or what is being talked about in South Australia.

*The Talk of the Town

*Up-an-atom is a health and well being blog because I like to keep my eyes on keeping and staying well. It motivates me to do that.

*Up-an-atom!

*Both of these blogs taught me how to blog and what works and what doesn’t.

*E-WOT

*I started E-WOT because I am always using technology and wanted to share what I was doing.

*I was asked to use it to help teachers and students in our one to one programme with MacBooks

*I now use it to try and push education and technology on the internet because it is not sufficiently recognised.

*A lot of people find this blog helpful which is why it does so well.

*Ah oui?

*I use this blog to publish and discuss lessons I have used in my classroom

*I put up resources I want to use in the classroom

*I wrote the blog in response to student teachers saying they had nowhere to look for French teaching resources

*My blog is now used by students, teachers, those who want to learn French and others who are interested.
