Something for students & teachers

EctoLearning

I came across this site today. Seems nice.

Ecto is an open networked Personal Learning Environment. You can use Ecto to transform learning into a collaborative, student centered activity.

It is focused on the student and is fully collaborative, where the learning content can be user-created, user-rated, shared and open.

Ecto connects classrooms across the hall, across town, and across the globe. In fact, Ecto already has classrooms in the US collaborating on joint projects with schools in India and China. In addition the teachers can actively engage with students’ parents through the fully networked learning system.

As a student, you have an active role in your own learning experience. You can create, collaborate and share with video, graphic, and text tools that you already use.

As a teacher, Ecto also lets you learn from other teachers and share methods and content that works for you.

If you have tried this one, feel free to share your comments here.
