  • Isn’t EduBlogs brilliant?!

    Yes … the EduBlog Awards are here again and once again it is wonderful to see Ray Fleming’s Microsoft UK Schools Blog has been nominated in the Best eLearning / Corporate Education Blog and I would heartily recommend a well deserved vote for him … but I would also say that all of the other…

  • Sharepoint in Education – the other side of things

    I’ve already posted about why I like Sharepoint so much and it was quite interesting to spend Friday in Warwick with Mike Herrity and co presenting about Sharepoint in Education. Mike’s blog goes into full details about who presented and what on, but here is my presentation as I looked more towards sharepoint 2010 as…

  • Why buy a SharePoint based learning platform

    Originally posted at https://learningpossibilities.lpplus.net/Pages/Sharepointandweb.aspx for LearningPossibilities. Sharepoint and web 2.0 I’ve always wondered what it is about web 2.0 that people in education are so fascinated about.  There are lots of articles out there about the history of the Web, of Darcy DiNucci originally coining the term (1999) and then Tim O’Reilly pushing the term…

  • Sharepoint Articles

    This week will see a few blog posts go up. First will be one already writte, exploring a bit more about sharepoint and web 2.0, next will be talking about why we filter emails and what impact the management of it can have, then finally I will be asking around about how different people feel…

  • The Bug strikes again

    (I can’t believe I had left this in as draft and not posted it! Originally written on 24th October – Published 2nd November!) I marvelled last night to receive a message from Drew Buddie about where the plans had reached when looking at what is happening over 3 nights at BETT 2010 (yes, that is…

  • No such thing as a free ride!

    Well … people keep telling me that and then pointing me at Open Source software (I like OSS, agree with OSS and want people to use more, but it is not the be all and end all!)   When many people talk about OSS they forget that it is FOSS that is actually important. The…

  • The Return of Google!

    The month has gone, the task was done, reflection has taken place (over a lovely cup of Earl Grey) and I am now ready to sit down and pour forth my findings. Erm … it doesn’t really matter whether you use Google or not, but it is pretty pointless going out of your way to…

  • No Google – day 28

    The month is nearly gone and I find I have less to report that I thought. The initial concerns about how I would do stuff without resorting to a quick dip into Google quickly went. With some suitable suggestions from friends, colleagues and my PLN (mainly via Twitter) I soon had a raft of suitable…

  • No Google – day 14

    So … nothing for the last week or so. No fantastic revelations about missing tools, no desperate struggle to find new ways of doing things. In fact, if Google dropped off the face of the Earth tomorrow it would take me less than a week to move on completely. I honestly cannot find anything that…
