Extreme Learning - we are not alone

I received an e mail from Ewan MacIntosh this morning forwarding an e-mails he received from New Zealand. I'll copy it below as I think it's an exciting example of how the world is shrinking and how we all face the same challenges. Perhaps we could do some woirk together once we're a bit further on?

>> Hi Ewan,

>> I?ve been keeping an eye on your blog, and enjoyed making connections
>> between the comments in the ?extreme learning? blogs and similar discussions
>> here on interpreting our new curriculum at the local level. Picked up some
>> good reference from the del.icio.us bookmarks too, thanks.

>> In a discussion yesterday with Jo Gibson, a colleague of mine who manages
>> Learn-Now, ?a cross curriculum, online extension and enrichment programme
>> for students in New Zealand and around the world? it occurred to me that I
>> should pass on details of her programme to you. We were talking about the
>> success she was having with students from a number of countries working
>> together, and the importance of linking with teachers who had this global,
>> holistic view of learning. It got me thinking about the enthusiastic
>> community of learners you work amongst. There may be links that can be made
>> here...
>> The URL is http://www.learn-now.school.nz/

>> A description of the programme is available at
>> http://www.deanz.org.nz/award-winner2006.htm

>> You can see there is heaps of opportunity for collaboration between students
>> in other countries, so I though I would pass these details on to you, and
>> let you decide whether or not there is any opportunity to pass it on to
>> teachers you communicate with.
