Been having a great break with a mixture of online and offline acivities. Today was a beautiful autumn day here in Adelaide and what better place to take the kids than to the Zoo. Alex has continued to expand on his thoughts on e-Portfolios and their place in the e-learning landscape. Try here and here [...]

Leigh recently posted about his sense of isolation regarding some of his views on LMS, PLE and e-Portfolios. I got the feeling he was feeling a bit like the lone voice in the wilderness and everything he writes really makes me think so I thought it would be an ideal time to give him some [...]
David Warlick blogged about the Edutopia Best Blog For Teachers article that gave he and Will Richardson guernseys for being Must Read blogs for Edutopia readers. I must admit that I very rarely look at Edutopia but the concept of the Must Read blog for educators is one that I concur with. In fact, I [...]
I got really excited at the beginning of this month when I was looking at my referers section of my WordPress edublog (being obsessional) and saw a wiki link that I didn’t recognise. I followed that link and ended up on a page set up by Wesley Fryer who seemed to be organising an International [...]

A group of South Oz education leaders are on tour abroad checking out leading schools innovative in ICT in NZ, the States and Britain. The site is put together by Peter Simmonds, the manager of TSOF here in Adelaide. He [...]

I’ve spent a little bit of time on my first day of our April holiday break getting a bit further into the most referenced book in the edublogosphere over the past year, Thomas Friedman’s “The World Is Flat.” At times, I’ve felt like I’m the only educator participating in these online conversations who hadn’t read [...]
Throughout this term, I have been working with four classes in the middle primary years. Our problem was based around the recent Commonwealth Games held in Melbourne and with the help of our teacher-librarian, we designed the unit of work over an eight week period. With students aged from seven to nine years in this [...]
After looking at Bill’s and Leigh’s mindmap touch graph of their own Learning Network, I’ve come to the conclusion that I really must be a visual learner. I’ve read about and tried to get my head around Leigh’s concept of Networked Learning for a while now but it wasn’t until I saw his latest post [...]
A great quote from Doug Johnson the other day in a comment to Leigh Blackall: ……as we say in Minnesota, an expert has to be someone from at least 75 miles away…… In Australia, we suffer a bit from that cultural cringe thing a bit when we feel compelled to invite well publicised “gurus” from [...]
