Very busy at the moment particularly as the Lifestyle Consultant has now started crawling (here’s a picture of him escaping).
I’m currently ‘attending’ the online K12 Conference and have just finished listing to Jeff Utecht on “Sustained Blogging in the Classroom”

Teacher as Blogger

Blogging - primary school bloggers tell it like it is
I’ve been doing a lot of digging around recently to see what primary schools are up to in the e-learning effort. I’m always keeping an eye on this sector as this is where things tend to happen first (EVS, wikis, podcasting and blogging but to name a few).
