It was interesting to see a wiki from a kindergarten in Hong Kong which has been set up to show off the work that they have each been doing this year and to tell us how fantastic their school is.

Sessions took place in multiple time zones and multiple languages over five days. I dropped in and out as pressures of work allowed and sometimes was so hooked I stayed late into the night.
