We’ve been using a PBwiki and a Yahoogroups to collaborate, I’ve just build a Pagecast in Pageflakes to show the girls its potential and to try something new for the next session (Inspired by Vance’s own Pageflakes), we’ve created a Wiki, a Blog, a Yahoogroups for next session. We subscribed for a bookmarks account, but we’re yet to decide if it’s going to be a delicious account or blinklist. Negotiation is a key element in the team. Nothing is imposed. It is all discussed and the group looks for a solution that will make everybody comfortable in the learning process. We’re getting there even with everybody’s busy schedule. Everyone, in its own special way, contributes to the whole.
What could be more rewarding than being among friends, have great fun, learn and share with others what you’ve learned? What is the name people tag it? Web2.0, School2.0, Learning2.0? Well, I guess it’s a mix of all we’ve been experiencing online, so let’s just call it Life2.0! Thanks, girls, for giving me this opportunity!

Hi Carla, sounds like you’re having a lot of fun setting this up – isn’t Pageflakes great? I used it this summer for a teacher training course here in Barcelona and the teachers loved it – here’s the result if you want to take a look: http://www.pageflakes.com/blogefl/11715920/
Dear Graham,
Thanks for the great example, as always! It’s helpful to see great ways in which pageflakes is being useful around the globe. I’m just waiting to see how everybody in the group reacts and then if they think it’s worth a try in next year’s session, we’ll make it a special collaborative and informative place full of joyous flakes!
Let me know if you have other brilliant ideas!
Dear Carla,
Thank YOU for all the amazing work you’ve done!
I feel exactly the same about our group; messy collaboration, compelling creativity and a deep sense of belonging. As you said, it’s Life 2.0 at its best! We have blogs, flakes, tags, wikis, maps, blinks and all kinds of Web 2.0 “ingredients” that make our blogging formula thrive, expand and constantly redefine itself. It’s the educational loop: teaching is learning twice, remember? Each new space suggests a new adventure. As Kevin Kelly said in We are the Web, “every link is both a point of departure and a destination”.
It’s the journey about the journey, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it!

Dear Carla,
You summarized it all: our Life2.0 is “messy collaboration, compelling creativity and a deep sense of belonging”! And each one of us make this journey a space in which we feel like collaborating, building and going beyond just because we want to share with others what we’ve been learning and we want to keep the steep curve of learning. No plateau is possible in such a connected world! Life evolves fast with a deep sense of belonging within this wonderful group of educators. Everyone has its share in the final product.
Amazing experience.
I’m also thrilled!
Beijos,
