For anyone with a passing interest in the area of mobile learning (mLearning), then this post from Stephen Downes is well worth a read. Amongst many interesting and valid points that he makes is the indication that the literacies of audio and video as a mode of communication could really lessen the importance of text. [...]
I’ve been playing around with box.net as a storage spot – 1 G free account – for some of the recent presentations I’ve been a part of. Box.net also sits within Pageflakes so I could have a whole bunch of public files for anyone to access if I made my Pageflakes public. So here’s the [...]
Today was another busy day at the Conference, which started with another engaging keynote this morning from Robyn Moore.

Via e-mail (how Web 1.0!!) she has shown me two new tools of interest, Ekstreme.com and Wizag. Wizag creates a Topic Cloud ( as [...]
I’m at a conference run by the SACLE (South Australian Centre for Leaders in Education) and the program Leading Learning and Teaching Conference is based on the philosophy that learning is a journey, not a destination. The opening speaker, Ruth Blenkiron is making a point that the edublogosphere has been aware of for a long [...]
Last year our school installed six Promethean ACTIVboards across the school (including my own shared classroom) and I started this blog thinking that I could connect to other educators about that very topic. Well, I got plenty of connection to educators but not really on the topic of IWB’s. In fact, much of the interaction [...]
