The 10 days of hard work were wisely led by Gavin Dudeney and Nik Peachey and I was glad to be a participant and presenter, which was a great role: learning a lot and also sharing.
I delivered a session about blogs, wikis and google docs and was happy to see many participants creating their blogs and wikis and sometimes including them in their final Action Plan. Here are some of the blogs and wikis created by Hornby 2009 participants:

Ronaldo, thanks so much for spreading the love. That is what networking is all about. What a wonderful opportunity the Hornby Regional School is. I still struggle with wikis, so I am going to poke around those that you and your group created so that I can learn more. Every example offers something new and meaningful.
It has been a pleasure connecting with you and Carla (Carla and I have been networked for quite a while now while she was in the USA). I am excited about the possibilities of collaborating on some student project that develop 21st century skills.
I am also interested in inviting Latin American educators into Second Life for professional development at the META teacher training retreat center on Virtlantis Island. Poco a poco of course.
Muchísimas Gracias

Folks,
It was a great two weeks, to be sure. I'm missing everyone still! Keep up the good work!

Hey Frank, thanks for the comment. You know, one of my goals for 2009 is to go deeper in SL and try to explore its educational uses, so I think you could help me a lot with this. About your struggle with wikis, you could join the hornby playground wiki (http://hornby2009playground.pbwiki.com/ - click "edit" and then request permission) and play around it. I can help you if you have any difficulties. And yes, let's get involved in some students online projects, it's great to have Carla back in Brasília and she is also super excited about starting new projects.
Talk to you later!
