Good to hear from you. Shame you didn’t make it, but it’s a long way. Nice to see Joi too, we had a bit of a chat after the conference when we all went to the pub.

Here’s to the next time you are over!

Great coverage by the way!!!! I'm still disappointed at not flying into London for the Children's Virtual World conference. Joi Podgorny filled me in and she had all the lovely things to say. :) Hope all is grand. Mine is IzadoraRex, Lizzie!

I saw that you were going to be at the "Children in Virtual Worlds" conference and I wanted to say hello. Coincidentally, I am currently working on a project with BBC Worldwide. I created a transmedia fantasy property called Kaimira, and I have a development deal with BBC Worldwide. I'm also writing the Kaimira book series, and the first book comes out in July (in the UK as well, published there by Walker Books). I'm not sure I'll be able to make it to London in May, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Chris Rettstatt http://rettstatt.wordpress.com/ Hi Lizzie,

]]> Comment on The fragmentation of social space by Jill Sanders http://lizziejackson.com/2008/02/18/the-fragmentation-of-social-space/#comment-47 Jill Sanders Tue, 19 Feb 2008 22:14:03 +0000 http://lizziejackson.wordpress.com/?p=44#comment-47 Social media are many and varied, as you say Lizzie. Our community network, now ten years in the making in the increasingly less leafy Richmond upon Thames (as they develop the gardens) is one manifestation, and an unusual one. It is, I think, unique as I haven't found anything else like it. Talking of dangerous, it would seem the local councillors consider the polite (but influential) discussion forum is something to be feared! This medium is participatory with webpages for councillors (largely unused!), citizen journalists providing news and content, the aforementioned lively voxpop, campaign websites, photo features, election projects and much more - too much to talk about really. I get the feeling, however, that the local council wishes it hadn't been in their borough. Every community could - and should - have a network like this, but only Richmond upon Thames does. Check out http://www.oncom.org.uk and see what you think. There's an argument raging on the voxpop as we speak (10.10pm, 19 Feb) about councillors, communication and electoral registers. I am one of the CJs and a voxpop contributor when moved to write, which is quite often recently as it's irresistible. Perhaps this is more what the BBC needs to do instead of its Action Network because it is truly local, the community online where you live, and particular to where you live. With more support, less suspicion and, indeed, repression from leaders and decision-makers, it would flourish even more, but then Oncom's reputation for independence is essential. I guess this is a grown-ups place for now, but it doesn't need to be. There's room for everyone and it's infinitely adaptable. Social media are many and varied, as you say Lizzie.

My experience is that many schools are blocking all sites which have the potential to work as proxies... and nearly all web 2 type sites, where content can be created, can become proxies of some kind. It seems that we are using such crude methods to sift negative internet content that we are now in effect disabling children in schools in developing the amazing potentials created by web 2, including collaborating with schools globally through blogs and wikis. The creative posibilities are limitless and we are holding both teachers and students back in not creating more sophisticated systems to keep access clean and safe. The Frischbowl Educational Blog struggles with many of these themes in the determination that we cannot ignore technology in schools and that it isn't for geeks - but for every teacher and every student. http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/ Keep up the good work!
