Welcome to the ICT for education wiki!

At the moment, this is mainly Bjoern's personal wiki for making quick notes and writing tutorials. But you're obviously welcome to browse, and to create a login to contribute. (The wiki is a little experimental, and I also use it to test various extensions and other aspects of mediawiki. You have been warned. :-)

My official web site is here: http://www.sciencemedianetwork.org/ and has a blog http://www.sciencemedianetwork.org/Blog. Most recent stories: Blog/20100515 eLA conference session online, Blog/20100504 OCWC Hanoi, Blog/20100324 OER10, Blog/20100318 TF Media Athens, and Blog/20100316 Robots
