There’s been an interesting discussion over at the TALO group about another discussion in an EdNA forum that, to paraphrase Alex Hayes, has turned rancid. The moderators of that particular discussion took action and deleted a substantial section of that thread, which has triggered another round of responses back at TALO Groups. I’ve been lurking [...]
Leigh Blackall has bandied the free range philosophy to an educator’s online presence before but revisited the concept again over the weekend. What prompted me to comment on his post was the fact that edublogs.org has been out of action all weekend, popping up for brief cameos every now and then but generally, being down [...]
I love this idea of public photo sharing. It’s great even if I don’t do much of it. Checking out D’Arcy Norman’s flickr faves or looking through Brian Lamb’s trip to Croatia is amazing. I even subscribed to Doug Noon’s flickr account rss feed and I get his 9 latest images on my Pageflakes page. [...]
It’s great to be reading some Artichoke again, challenging my meager brainwaves and prompting me to get tapping on the keyboard here in earnest. I loved this line from Foreshadowing an Attack on The Blu(e) Fairy: A trivial concern perhaps, given some of my conversations with the other Blue Fairy, but I find it interesting [...]
Will Richardson posted recently about getting a digg-style site for edbloggers that gathered together posts from the edublogosphere and ranked them on popularity amongst readers.

Yes, finally the report writing is over. Thanks to the new Common Report mandate issued by our former Federal Minister for Education, Brendan Nelson, we have compiled the most comprehensive reports for our students ever. Now that’s not a bad thing but it strikes me that the so called Common Report isn’t so common after [...]
Got the lowdown on the DECS eTeacher program from our district eTeacher, Kay Clifford from Blackforest PS at our bi-termly district ICT meeting. Basically, there is one eTeacher in every district in South Australia, released for a day a week for two years. Their mission – the planning of “e-events” using the web based platforms [...]
A while back I applied for a DECS ICT Research Grant with a focus on developing Teacher E-portfolios In A Web 2.0 World, due to my interest in this concept combined with my blogging adventures. I’ve posted before about e-portfolios and their very idea has attracted opposing views about their worth, purpose and future. I’ve [...]
The four MYLU classes have been coming to grips with the PBL wiki where we have been storing all of the learning “artifacts” of our unit on “What Does It Mean To Be Australian?” As they have gone about their task, I have been discovering quite a bit about what wikis can do and just [...]
