This overview of my blogging habits comes courtesy of Miguel Guhlin and Wes Fryer, via Brian Grenier who’s using the tag-a-blogger system to find out more about the actual writing process. It’s an interesting meme and one that I’d unwittingly covered before in a post last year, A Request For My Learning Network. I was [...]

Since school kicked into gear I’ve been finding it hard to find reading time, let alone blogging time. As I lay the foundations for a successful year, I’ve been pre-occupied with clear daily planning, curriculum linking to units of work and finding out about the students in my care. I’ve started some of the testing [...]
On Monday, thirty eager and possibly anxious students will file into the classroom, look for their assigned seat and sit down. Their faces will look up at me in anticipation and I will start another year of their education. In the primary school setting, it will be my face, voice and body language that will [...]
Two takes on education in two countries both written from the heart. As the title of this post implores…. Sarah Puglisi – BEFORE THE FALL or how I see NCLB impacting me Marg O’Connell -Teacher bashing and the politics of education We do not want to follow the US’s lead on this one…
I haven’t blogged anything of substance for a while now and while I’m not quite slipping into the banality that plagued D’Arcy Norman last year, my recent posts have lacked that “I’ve got something important to say” spark. I’m not sure that blogging for the sake of blogging is a good thing in my case. [...]

We’ve decided to shift our business to enterprise customers and the CrispyIdeas product. To focus our energies, we need to close down many of our ad-supported communities. We are planning on deactivating [...]
I’ve found another reason to use the CoComment tool – I was just posting a comment to Rachel’s Bard Wired blog, did the Word Verification bit and then hit Post and got the Google “Sorry – there was an error” page. Normally, that means go back to the post, regather my composure and thoughts and [...]
My comments woes have let me to the very scientific conclusion that it may well be my theme that is the issue. Two out of the last five commenters had to e-mail me their comments and I’ve lost track and count of how many others throughout the latter part of ’06. So, a new theme, [...]
Arti says: Richness and authenticity are much-sought attributes of “the road of excess” for the 21st Century Learner. They trump “educationally relevant” as a measure of what we should look for in a learning experience for a 21st Century learner that might lead to “the palace of wisdom”. Tony says: Richness? I have my doubts. [...]
I’ve been playing around with a few new and not-so-new tools online as my brain tries to ready itself for a new year of teaching. My role is changing slightly this year in terms of my release time and I will be in the classroom for 4 out of the 5 days in the school [...]
