I reckon that as more and more educators get on board with blogging and webcasting and start connecting with others, the more the Pyramid Of Influence could possibly start to flatten. Call me naïve but up until a few years ago, I felt that the further up the command chain in our education system the [...]

I can see why recently so many blogs are pointing to Borderland. Doug‘s thoughts make for compelling reading and gets my brain asking as many questions as there are answers to be found. It’s an uncomfortable but necessary feeling to be seeking answers that eighteen years of teaching don’t adequately provide for. I’ve been reading [...]
I’ve been reflecting on this Web 2.0 experience (mainly blogs, rss and webcasts) and how long it’s been since a technological bug bit me so hard. The reason I think that it is so significant is definitely the ability to connect with others. Aaron got it so right a week or so ago: The more [...]
I received an e-mail this week from Mike Baker from Polaris Career Center regarding my use of an RWLO account. At first I thought I was in trouble for unauthorised use of a set up aimed at US educators but he was merely curious as how I found out about the service and the origin [...]

It doesn’t take much to fall behind in the conversations going on in the blogosphere. It just takes one all consuming project with a looming deadline and the unread posts pile up in Bloglines. I do glance at my account as part of my morning e-mail, electronic calendar check ritual – it’s more of a [...]
It’s that time of the school year where all of the long term projects and ongoing bits and pieces come to a head. Now, a lot of this pressure is self imposed. I suffer from that syndrome that my good friend, Lindsay, used to sum up in the sentence, “If you want something done, ask [...]
