Comments from those who selected
Elgg or Eduspaces as one of their Top 10 Tools in
2007
"This is my
blogging community, filled with my peers. I started
blogging there when it was Elgg, and have created
Community Blogs there for classes because even early on
my students could add audio files as well as discuss
readings there."

main blog is at

"My
main tool to develop social networks and informal
learning communities. It is a good foundation to build
your own Personal Learning Environment (PLE), and also an e-portfolio.
It provides a blog, file sharing and a feed reader (rss/atom).
It is good also to develop e-learning 2.0
strategies. I have 2 blogs on Elgg (English and
Spanish ones). EduSpaces is a good
international social network on education built on
Elgg I am involved with."
