4. Created by Judi Gowing, October 2007 http://aceconnections.wikispaces.com Reflections on how students have benefited from team members participation in the ACE Connections Project……….. Trying out new technology with students who are lacking in confidence has been amazing. JS Students have become more confident and enthusiastic with IT Skills because I am. RB A great benefit has been having their own Wikispace/Webpage to play with – to publish their writing and communicate with other students. JG Because we have no computer access I haven’t tried new things with my students but I feel a lot more confident. HB Indirectly however, I think my students have benefited from the knowledge and confidence I have gained in using the computer in preparing class worksheets and accessing the materials posted for our use with the new CGEA.. JL My students have benefited from watching me and on occasions helping me solve the problems that will inevitably arise. WR Interaction with other students and tutors has been a definite positive! JG Greater enthusiasm is infectious. JG

9. My favourite quote The only sustainable value you bring to an organisation is what you show and teach and inspire in other people you work with . Dave Pollard http://blogs.salon.com/0002007 / On our learning journey as teachers and facilitators, we are also learners and experienced first hand the thrills and frustrations of learning. Working with Judi has given me an insight into the possibilities of facilitating learning through web conferencing. She has developed these skills to a high level and her patience and persistence are admirable. After this project I plan to continue to develop my skills in online facilitation and incorporate web conferencing into many projects. Joy Sharpe 2007

Life is full of potential journeys that never even get started, let alone completed. We should never forget to take that first, single step.
