I may use your structure for a similar newsletter at my school - many thanks for the inspiration. i particularyly like the 'Tom's tip' section. So many ICT competent people assume that everyone knows the basics Best wishes David Hi Tom,

Great idea. I may use your structure for a similar newsletter at my school – many thanks for the inspiration.

i particularyly like the ‘Tom’s tip’ section. So many ICT competent people assume that everyone knows the basics

Best wishes

I really enjoyed reading the newsletter. I have used Wordle for a variety of different activities in the Library. It was great to pick up the tip about using Windows then D to clear to the desktop--a great little tip! Cheers Glenys Head of Library Lowther Hall Essendon Victoria Australia Thanks Tom.

I think it is important when doing a 'newsletter' such as this that the reader has to click outside of email to actually view it, and so a Google docs a great idea! I did one a while back via a blog post: http://datruss.wordpress.com/category/digital-magic/ By putting the post on my (seldom used) blog and linking to the category rather than the individual link, I didn't have to change my link address and older newsletters automatically loaded below the most recent one. I like your regular sections and think that if I redo my newsletter, (my current staff can't see my wordpress blog in China), then I might do that. One semi-regular section that I used was "Things that make you go hmmmm..." which I hoped would inspire conversations about learning. Another thing that I did was to feature what some of my teachers were doing. I love your 'From My Twitter Network' section, it models the power of shared learning and developing a PLN. Hey Tom,
