So Much to Learn...So Little Time

TeacherTube

YouTube for teachers...sound horrific doesn't it.

Once again teachers take the fun out of something.

thanks to John@Sandaig Primary I have discovered TeacherTube. Which appears to have safe videos for teachers about teaching and stuff. Not really looked at it yet (do you ever really get the time to look at these things?) but I did find out what American school administrators like to get up to. Interesting to see how fixated they are about the posting of learning objectives in the classroom.

Fon and la Fonera

I love things for free... but I love the idea of sharing my good fortune.
Thanks to ewan I have just found out about fon, free wifi access, as long as you share your connection with those around you. Rather than me trying to explain what I only vaguely understand click on the fon link to find out more.
Here's a little tip as well, until 31st March they have 2500 free wifi routers to give away. Find out more via the english blog.
I have signed up but will have to wait 3 weeks now to become wifi.

Welcome to the wonderful world of broadband

Great Joy and amazement.

A whole new world has just opened up before my eyes. I've got broadband at last. As I'm writing this I'm downloading swathes of linguistically minded podcasts. I've already updated the missing album covers on iTunes and I took my first peek at Google Earth.

To paraphrase The Fast Show "I'nt broadband great".

More seriously, as befits a reflective log (use a grave tone of voice), I can now really start to research all this web 2.0 technology to help with my continued drive for improving my teaching...does that sound good? Good, HMIe are in next week.
