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 [...]

Roll out of Moodle seems going pretty well. Getting good feedback from pupils, and I’m hoping that updates coming on line little and often will keep people coming back and mean that we don’t get website burnout which often seems to happen with school websites.

I really like the interface in the Wet Paint Wikis, as well as the ease with you can update their file structure, but I’ve never been able to use a Wet Paint hosted wiki because there was no ad-free version, unlike PBwiki and Wikispaces. So I’m really pleased to read from Jeff that Wet Paint [...]

Over the Summer, reading about all the fun that was being had up in Scotland, I pondered if some kind of TeachMeet would be feasable for BETT. Ewan mentioned that he had something planned, so I’m delighted to read this evening his announcement of a TeachMeet on Fri 11th Jan. BETT is the largest education [...]
