 * GippsTAFE Online Facilitation Course**

**Resources Work Task** Welcome to the wiki for the GippsTAFE Online Facilitation Course Work Task.

The purpose of this wiki is for us to build up a list of suitable online learning materials. Please select your favourite two or three online resources and add them to the wiki. For each include a title, the URL and a one line description of what the web site is about. If you put your name at the end we'll know who has posted which items. :)

Not sure how to use a wiki? It's easy, just click on the "** Edit This Page **" button, add your information and then click the "** Save **" button.

Why not check out some of the resources the group has posted and share your thoughts on them. **//(Add your comments here)//**
 * Comments **

Hi everyone, Frankie here :) Just to say I've been interested in the sites you've provided. Like a kid in a lolly shop I'm not sure which to check out first!!!! If you've had a look at any feel free to add your comments here. I've also added some sites that Michael shared with you in the discussions. :) cheers, Frankie

Thanks to all of you for the great links you have shared. If you wish to save any of the links in your own social book-marking service (eg in Del.icio.us) please add the tag “gtofc” – this will enable us to build up a collaborative list of those sites which participants found most useful cheers, Frankie.



Space for links to Online Bookmarking of participants - if you have an online bookmarking site like Del.icio.us please feel free to share your site here, (but please also provide your favourites below).
