This is the first part of the morning - you will be gathering information on a context using web 2.0 tools to stored this informaton.

= Setting up Accounts    =

**Setting up a blog -** http://www.blogger.com
You need to go to and set up a blog for your partnership. You will need to think of a name for your blog that noone else would have eg names like 'learning' or 'suzie' will be long gone. You can then add your first post to your blog explaining who is part of your group and what your context is - take a photo of yourselves to include in this blog post.

Setting up a Utterz account - [|http://uttterz.com]
Utterz allows you to take photos and send them by text message or leave voice messages using your mobile phone that will then be uploaded to the web. When you have set up your account, make sure that you programme in the Utterz phone numbers to your phone.

Setting up a a Flickr account - http://flickr.com
Flickr is a place to store photos which can then be used in a variety of ways both within Flickr and with other online tools. You will be adding videos and images to your Flickr account today. There is a section on using your mobile with Flickr on this page http://flickr.com/tools/mobile/ Add the phone numbers provided in Flickr to your mobile phone so that you can send images directly from your phone to Flickr.

Linking your Utterz account to your blog
You can then link your Utterz account to your blog so that when you send something in to your Utterz account, it will automatically be added as a post to your blog.

Linking each blog to a workshop NetVibes account
This is so that all updates from the blogs will be aggregated in one place - you could do this if students were working in different spaces to see overall progress.
