Bee-coming a Webhead
I just picked
up this link to Bee-coming a Webhead via Technorati - Bee
is Barbara W. Juzwiak, who teaches English at a
Franco-Brazilian school in São Paulo. Through this site, I
found a link to Evonline 2004 Becoming a Webhead, a six
week online conference connecting tecahers from around the
world. Bee writes, "Webheads in Action is more than a
community of practice. It is a warm, open and nurturing
environment where you meet people who not only work hard
but also care and share with the others their love for
knowledge." By Barbara W. Juzwiak, March 8, 2004

Universia, pionera del RSS
Some
days you just say, this is as it should be, and other days,
you just go "wow". This is a "wow" day. As Rebecca Rippin
writes to me from Spain, "I thought you may like to know
that this week Universia, the Hispanic world's largest
university portal (over 700 partner universities
spreading across Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Peru,
Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico) has
included RSS in its elearning section... This means that new
electronic courses of over 700 hispanic universities are
now available via RSS and that Universia are our first
converts!!" This press release is in Spanish; or you can
read Google's English translation. By Press
