Tim Berners-Lee

have a look at this interview with the creator of the WWW. Tim Berners-Lee.
I have kind of admiration for this man.
BBC Interview
Here, among other things, he talks about the opportunities that the Blogs offer to creativity avoiding all the technical problem of editing web pages,

updating

Somehow I'm updating my page, revising links and again I've found wonderful pages in the BBC. I wonder how many people work in their projects. I wouldn't mind being part of the team. Have a look at this list of findings:

June

He estado actualizando un poco algunos enlaces. Trataba de encontrar algo bueno e informativo para selectividad y especialmente de inglés, pero parece que este tema no es fácil. La mayoría de los enlaces fallan o no están actualizados.
Al final he podido actualizar poco, pero al menos he quitado los enlaces que no funcionaban.
I have also updated some links in the news section, one very good from the BBC, a friend sent it to me. The BBC is really amazing.

And that's all. i know i don't write much on the Blog. I must confess I do not like expressing much on the Web. I feel anybody can read it and I feel shy.

Student List Project

I received a message from Thomas Robb, a guru in the world of e-mail exchanges, http://www.kyoto-su.ac.jp/~trobb/index.html. He leads an email project called "The Student List Project". It uses Moodle and seems to me a great experience. I copy part of his message below:

"Essentially, the SL Project provides a way for your students to discuss topics of mutual interest in a 1-to-many situation rather than the normal penpal 1-on-1. Your students can join any of the forums listed below, read what has already been posted and reply to whatever postings stir their imagination. They receive copies of all
postings for the forums that they subscribe to by e-mail, but can also view all previous postings via the web interface.

Recent discussions, all student initiated, include topics such as the
use of mobile phones, smoking in public, one's ideal partner, blind
dates, baseball, current movie hits, and more!

The project uses Moodle, an innovative student management system.
This allows you, as an instructor, to view all of your own students'
postings so that you can give timely advice to them as needed."

To take part in this project You can contact Tom for the "enrollment key" on this page: http://www.kyoto-su.ac.jp/~trobb/#sl
