    Hi Joy,
    Your blog has some great tips for using Web 2.0 tools to improve literacy. I like how you’ve set it up with multimedia clips too. That makes it a much richer experience for a reader. It’s also a nice, basic design – no clutter! Hope the 31 Day Challenge is going well for you!

      Thanks Errin. This whole 31 days has been such a learning experience for me. It would have taken me years to learn what I am learning with this group.

      Hi Ariellah
      I was on twitter as @joysimpson. I changed the name so that others would recognise me. I will change the name on this site.

    Hi Joy,

    I’ve been using edublogs since September (see http://missbutcher.edublogs.org ) and think it’s brilliant, so it’s great to see your blog here. I also know how much work you must have put into this and the del.icio.us pages too!
