I’ve blogged before about how fantastic the setup is here at edublogs and how James has given the education community a great place to host their blogs without the technical hitches. However, there are hitches and he has to shoulder them off his own bat – new server upgrades, hosting services etc. He even has [...]

Today was the first official day of the 2006 school year and I greeted my new class along with my tandem teaching offsider, Nat. Because my coordinator role has been boosted in its time commitment throughout our school, I am teaching two and a half days of the possible five in this classroom. And in [...]
It’s always interesting to peek under the hood of a WordPress blog and see where your links go and who is possibly interested in my ramblings. I followed my Incoming Links over to Technorati and found this…… Well, a closer look at these two outstanding bloggers’ profile pics intrigued me. You know how there’s a [...]
Thanks to James Farmer and his super-administrator skills, this blog has its own customised theme. Pretty cool, eh? Well, there are a few bugs to be ironed out like the tagline in the header and the links that go nowhere but James has given me solutions to work on to fix them up. Now I [...]
Cheers to Kevin Perkins from who tipped me off to the fact that their service, Skweezer accepts RSS feeds and reformats them for the small screen.

Here in lonely ol’ Adelaide, the edublogger is a bit of a lonely breed. So then when I have an opportunity to meet with a couple of fellow South Aussie educators who share the same excitement about the potential of blogging and other emerging technologies, it is an opportunity not to be missed. The instigator [...]
Junk mail flows through our mailbox daily and unless it’s OfficeWorks or Dick Smith Electronics, I leave the other members of the household to it. But when a pamphlet slips in bearing the title, “Investing In Our Schools”, well, it was worth a second glance. It was from our local Federal Senator who I doubt [...]
Just typing/transcribing a post here on my IPAQ as my two sons splash around in their canopied “swimming pool” on a typically warm January day. As usual, the younger is antagonising the older so I’m regularly interrupting my thoughts with reminders about behaving sensibly in the water. There isn’t much left of my summer holidays, [...]
It sometimes takes me a while to work my way through the numerous posts from my assembled Bloglines bloggers, but it is worth reading through as many as possible because someone else somewhere will be posting something that strikes a chord in me. Today, it’s The Bionic Teacher and his thoughts on his own technological [...]
