I am definitely a right brain person. Logic, organisation, timelining, the fine details are not my strong points. Sometimes that’s viewed as a bad thing, especially in my semi-leadership position where others view disorganisation or not knowing where precisely something is heading as a weakness. But for those of us who enjoy the big picture, [...]

During the latter half of last week, we started our Problem Based Learning program with the Middle Years Learning Unit (MYLU) students. As our teacher-librarian was away in Melbourne at a PBL conference, it was decided to get the students started familiarising and using the cutting edge technology of the wiki before the introduction of [...]
Some edubloggers mourned Stephen Downes’ absence a while back but does anyone else think a really good dose of Artichoke is well overdue? I do.
I seem to be harping over this concept of copyright and its implications in educational contexts a bit lately. Luckily, I’m not the only one exploring this lately and I hope that I’m not being interpreted as some sort of copyright supporter. Most of the time, copyright materials produce hurdles that are a pain to [...]
A few posts back I reviewed the second Gibb Owen article from The Education Technology Guide and ended my review with the following query: My final question for Gibb which I will e-mail on to him if he wants to reply is this – When I leave a comment on a blog, who retains the copyright [...]
I know it seems like a lot of posts here seem to meander around future plans and there seems to be excessive verbiage about what are fairly everyday presentations for a lot of people in the edublogosphere. Some of the bloggers I read seem to present every other month at some conference or another and [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I have been really delving into wikis and setting a couple up for classes at my school to use. It was timely that James announced the edublogs.org partnership with wikispaces because that is the host for several of the wikis currently on the go. I’m also co-authoring a wiki [...]
A conversation at last night’s staff meeting highlighted the need for all educators to be information literate ourselves. Some comments floating through the air expressed the view that kids need to realise that there is more to learning than Google, that information and learning can be obtained from books, other human beings, play, magazines, trusted [...]
Gibb Owen doesn’t have a blog. At least, I couldn’t find one. But I’m beginning to wish that he did, because then I would be a lot more informed about this slippery concept of copyright and intellectual property. Owen has written another excellent article for the latest edition of The Education Technology Guide with an article [...]
Tangling with another blogger in the comments section can only be beneficial, I’ve decided. I don’t think I could ever do what Mark Ahlness has done and restrict myself to only one sector of the edublogosphere. Personally, there is too much to learn from some many angles that are outside my realm of immediate expertise [...]
