Just thought i'd drop you a note to say that i found this post very useful for my research project (for my fourth year primary education degree). I have referred to the skills and literacies you have suggested are used and learned to justify using educational technolgies in the classroom (particulalrly podcasting). Of course I have referenced your site :D Thanks heaps (i'll be back). Hello.
