So much to say, but not the time to say it!
One of the hardest things about having a blog is wanting to share things that you know will be of benefit to colleagues, but because of a number of factors not being able to! Watch this space.
I was interested and encouraged to see WEB2.0 mentioned on Channel 4 news tonight, and although they were a little off the mark with one or two things they said, it was good to see web 2.0 becoming more mainstream.
Bebo, MySpace and (the new kid on the block) Univillage will continue to be a very real challenge to us as professional educators, and will further the opportunities for young people to compromise their online safety or increase their risk of identify theft.
On one final note (for now), I was very sorry to miss all you bloggers and web2.0 types at SETT and related events. Commitments at work and financial limitations meant that I couldn’t be released, despite very much wanting to be down and learn/share more with you all. I was there in spirit.
Hello Struan
I hope you were able to follow some of the SETT and TeachMeet events through other people’s postings and photos. Not as good as being there I know…
I suspect you know this already, but some good sources are:
SETT06 tags at Technoratti
Flickr photos tagged with sett06
SETT at Hitchhikr
Flickr photographs tagged with teachmeet06
John Johnston’s teachmeet aggregator
TeachMeet at Hitchhikr …which currently has 516 views compared to SETT’s 310 and is in the top 20 most viewed conferences on Hitchhikr.
Ahhh its good to be back. I have to confess that blogging has been squeezed out of my routine this term. I havnt hard much of what was going on yet, but I wasnt too worried by this as I knew that there was going to be plenty of you guys making a permanant record of things…. which I intent to peruse when time permits. I really appreciate the links above - a great head start!
