Those of you not reading through a feed reader will notice I’ve changed the theme on the blog again. Each version is less cluttered that the last, but after a few months seems too cluttered again. There’ll be some more changes to the sidebars when I get a bit more time, and I’m considering having [...]
I’ve been meaning to blog about this pretty much since I did it, but other things got in the way. As you’ll already know if you read Damian’s blog, back in February I Skyped in to his Brit Hons class for an hour to talk about Wales and the Welsh language. For me it was [...]

As I mentioned on Twitter yesterday, next Thursday I have to give a presentation to a group of Headteachers from mid Wales on skills based learning, and in particular the work we’ve been doing with SMART. So far, so normal, but I was also asked to provide a ‘pen portrait’ to go in the course [...]

The blogging hiatus continued for longer than expected, partly because I’ve been really busy, but also because I really didn’t have the urge to say anything. I nearly waded in on a couple of debates that raged across the blogs I read, but in the end I was quite happy not to. That seems to [...]

As I tweeted the other day, Spam Karma seems to have got a bit nuts and keeps eating legitimate comments.

I’m happy to reveal my entry into Dan’s 2007 Review Design competition. It’s the result of a few days pondering, and more hours with photoshop than I would care to mention (or can really afford at the moment), but I’m happier with it that I was my last entry which I guess is progress. I’ll [...]

Just a warning that due to the arrival of our first child on Friday evening, this may go a little quiet round here. Not that they’ve been all that busy recently. In fact, I may actually get a few more minutes over the next two weeks while I’m on Paternity leave, and then it’ll all [...]

I’m blogging this from the first day’s meeting of a group of teachers who have been brought togther by the county to produce some subject specific resources for GCSE for a new county wide VLE, which will be powered by moodle. There’s a great atmosphere here, with loads of ideas being banded backwards and forwards, [...]
