April 8, 2011 - Technology -Why we bought our daughter an iPod
September 8, 2010 - Uncategorized -
Getting our eldest daughter an iPod Touch for her 6th birthday is probably one of the least revolutionary things I’ve ever done. Big deal!
All I wanted to do here was record the reasons behind going for this device rather than the Nintendo DSi as it might be interesting to look back in 12 months to see what she’s done with it; has she enjoyed it, does she regret not getting the Nintendo, is she getting things from it we didn’t anticipate.
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.

Is HTML5 important for education?
June 9, 2010 - Uncategorized -
A friend recently asked for my thoughts on what impact I thought HTML5 would have on Adobe and the quick answer is I haven’t the foggiest. I have, though been favouriting some blog posts and web stuff about it as I try to catch up with the rest of the world and I though I’d share some. It’s not comprehensive, but it’s a start.
AudioBoo – It must be love!
May 28, 2010 - Site of the Week -
I’m going all gooey about AudioBoo at the moment. It’s sat around in the perpiphery of my vision for a while now but in the last month or so I’ve started to see it as a really useful addition to my network of tools, especially now I’m a JesusPhone user.
Here’s why I’m gushing…

It’s not often I write about bits of kit but I’ve been having a bit of fun with this wee gem for a few days now. The i-gotU tracker has been around for a little while and has previously featured on MerlinJohn but we got our grubby mitts on one last week.
