Say NO to Twitter and Facebook

I have now deleted my twitter account and have cut back my use of Facebook to a quick visit once/week. Why? I have come to the end of a 2 year experiment in Social Networking and concluded it should be renamed Social Time wasting. 19/20 twitter comments were irrelevant and I could gain nothing special from following my fleet of 'friends' on FB.

Welcome - my main focus

OK so here it is - I am producing lessons recorded from the smartboard and publishing them to the web via my school website http://ics.christscollege.com/ I am dead keen to get (and stay) in touch with people who are interested in and want to develop this sort of virtual learning. I think the potential is huge. I want this area to be a place where ideas and websites and resources can be shared along these lines. Please get involved.
