- http://www.bubbl.us/, flash mind mapping, I've spent about 1 minute on it and am convinced it would be useful in school, if we can access it. I wonder if you can create multiple accounts with one email address. if so I might give this a wee try for story planning next week.
- dotherightthing.com here is a a Scottish story that will affect my shopping and one discussing if the site is the right thing to do.
- I am going to point my bloggers at Sploder and Amazing Circles BETA for a bit of fun soon, I am not sure how long Sploder will be allowed in school but it looks like it would entertain at home. Hopefully using these fun tools will reinforce blogging skills that will be useful with curriculum based tasks.
The costs of trying to maintain a highly ordered system often outweigh the benefits, they say. A messy desk, like Einstein's, can be "a highly effective prioritising and accessing system", since it will develop an emergent structure modelled on how your specific mind works, not some externally imposed schema.

Hi John
thanks for commenting on my colleagues class blogs – the comments will be moderated, that is why you may have not seen them straight away.
Bubbl.us looks really good fun and easy to use – thanks for the link.
I have started thinking about a wiki arcade, where you can upload flash games or other stuff that can be created and embedded. Let me know what you think? The wikispace is all ready to roll…

John Johnston (Email) (URL) - 28-01-’07 21:49We would be happy to join in an arcade, if 1. we can get sploder to work in school and 2. We can find the time. I’d also get the children to post their games to their personal blogs. I suspect that the site will be blocked when websense catches up with it.
