Yes, you're right: not actually very much different from watching grass grow. People at their digital devices, editing a shared document or skyping. I started to wonder had we actually done anything and drew a mind map of the process.
What a great set of tools there are in the world, practically free of charge! Google Drive/Documents, Skype, Youtube, Slideshare, Popplet etc. We are such happy campers of Web 2.0!

We are to train Kosovar teacher trainers on Monday and Tuesday. It's such a great opportunity and a start for a long-term collaboration – but, oh boy, it's been some work to get this far in planning it.
They've got a well thought-out national curriculum framework in Kosovo. It is accompanied by a good set of practical guidebooks. I must say it's something we are in need of here in Finland. Particularly the way key competences, learner-centred approach and curriculum areas are in the core of the curriculum.
Here's one presentation that sheds light to what we are about next week. Give us a thumbs up!
The last slides visualize our planning process. (Link to Slideshare)
