Back from Fantasy Island and man does it seem like things are moving light speed around here. I am amazed at what the Manila Dev group is doing and I can’t wait for Jake to release the new News Item interface. I’m doing some training next Tuesday with some teachers from Asbury Park High School and that would be a HUGE improvement in being able to get them involved. Please Jake and Seb and Dave, hurry…HURRY!
With all this talk and action about feature requests and improvements, it’s opening up many new directions for using Manila in the classroom. I think it’s time to get back to some of the Best Practices that people are developing. There are definitely going to be some very cool new ways to implement and use all of this with students, and since the technical developments escape me, that’s where I need to focus. What are we going to do with Trackback? The news feeds and aggregators? How are we going to get kids collaborating and communicating at an even higher level? Some very interesting possibilities…
