Experience with e-Learning

I have experience with Bebo. I had my own bebo sight. I had my photos and profile in it. I kept it for 2 years. I felt it was more for younger generation.Everyone I knew who had bebo cite were my teenage daughters age. It is a means of communication as well. I had 14 photos. I was very excited to see photos and see comments from other of my girls friends. Also there is a column for "HOW well you know me" There questions and answers. Interesting to see how well people know you. someone had a smily face for me and from the smily face came out bumb. I didnt like it so erased my cite.
I also have experince with skype. Teachers at school use skype for communication. It is very useeful and response is fast. I have used wiki as well and I feel it is good for group work. In wiki one can write long essays whereas in Blog your comments have to be short. Year 5 & 6 are using podcasting. Children are enjoying and learning so much. They take so much interest in recording.This could have never been possible without e-Learning.
