*The Network
* I write the posts.
*My network passes them on to Facebook. I don’t.
*My posts are automatically tweeted on Wordpress and in turn are often retweeted.
*Wordpress is very proactive in getting the information out there.
*My slideshows and presentations can often be used on my blogs. I tweet them out and others pass them on.
*My posts are featured on other internet sites.

*My first blogs
*My first blogs are still going.
*Talk of the Town is centred in Adelaide but I cover anything I want to talk about or what is being talked about in South Australia.
*The Talk of the Town
*Up-an-atom is a health and well being blog because I like to keep my eyes on keeping and staying well. It motivates me to do that.
*Up-an-atom!
*Both of these blogs taught me how to blog and what works and what doesn’t.

*E-WOT
*I started E-WOT because I am always using technology and wanted to share what I was doing.
*I was asked to use it to help teachers and students in our one to one programme with MacBooks
*I now use it to try and push education and technology on the internet because it is not sufficiently recognised.
*A lot of people find this blog helpful which is why it does so well.

*Ah oui?
*I use this blog to publish and discuss lessons I have used in my classroom
*I put up resources I want to use in the classroom
*I wrote the blog in response to student teachers saying they had nowhere to look for French teaching resources
*My blog is now used by students, teachers, those who want to learn French and others who are interested.
