I’m going to be blogging on Posterous over the summer. Change is as good as a rest etc etc.

New ePortfolio Blog
December 10, 2010 - Learning, Site of the Week -
I’ve recently started a new blog on behalf of JISC Netskills on ePortfolios and related topics. These are some of the “whys” and the “hows” to do with the project…
What the hell am I scared of?

I’m finding it really difficult to blog about stuff at the moment.
It’s not that I haven’t been doing or thinking about things. Some pretty significant stuff has happened recently (from my perspective, at least).
And yet I seem to
Really, why am I not using Posterous?
September 7, 2010 - Site of the Week -
In preparation for a workshop I’m running shortly I’ve been looking at blogging platform Posterous. It’s remarkably simple and fun, especially when used with a mobile device.
It throws up 2 tricky questions for me, though…
Open Conference 2010: Video Interviews
June 16, 2010 - Site of the Week -
Martin Weller’s blog, The Ed Techie, was the first technology blog that I followed and he’s a constant stream of intrestingness. His latest post is really valuable for anyone interested in ed-tech generally, but also open educational models specifically. He has done interviews with a number of OU luminaries (Martin Bean, Grainne Conole, Andrew Law and Simon Buckinham-Shum) on the questions of the benefits of technology for learning and interesting issues around openness.

For over a year there’s been a link to my blog from the Online Stopwatch site. This has been lovely as that site is insanely popular and it has generated a vast amount of traffic to this blog.
A few days ago I asked Aaron the remove the link. The drop in visitors has been strangely liberating.
Audioboo on Participation and Fear
February 23, 2010 - Comment -
As part of our MSc we’ve had to read a paper by Guy Merchant (2009) on Web2.0, new literacies and the idea of learning though participation. We were asked to provide a response on it in a form of our choosing. I thought I’d have a go with Audioboo as I haven’t really had a chance to play with it.
Don’t film your school play!

I feel the need to be mean and uncharitable. It’s been that sort of week.
With a few exceptions, all the videos of school productions I’ve seen have been unwatchable tosh. It’s a shame because you know that it’s been
