Blog Move
Wednesday 15 October 2008 at 05:23 am. Used tags: blogging, johnjohnston, sandaigI am moving from John @ Sandaig to John's World Wide Wall Display. The RSS Feed url will stay the same.
I've been blogging at Sandaig since February 2005 and worked at Sandaig for over 15 years. I've had a wonderful time working there but am now moving on to take up a post as an ICT development officer with North Lanarkshire Education. At Sandaig I had an amazing opportunity to playfully experiment with emerging technologies. As you can imagine such and enabling and supportive environment is hard to leave, not to mention the feeling of leaving a class mid session. I am not sure what the future will bring but I hope to continue blogging about education and technology from a slightly different perspective.
I hope that the children at Sandaig will continue to blog about their learning and fun and I'll still be trying to support that effort remotely if I can.
I could have continued to host my blog with Sandaig but feel that might lead to some confusion.
I am not sure how this move will work out from a technical angle, I'll leave the old content were it was and I've copied it over to the new place. I've replace the comment box at Sandaig with an explanation. The RSS feed now points to the new blog.
If you are kind enough to link to me I'd appreciate it if you updated your links.
In a week or so I'll replace the blog page at Sandaig with a redirect of some sort.

All the best in your new job. I’m sure the school will miss you greatly.

All the best in the new job… I guess the new blog and site makes it official now!
I’m still wondering if you are now a classic example of the poacher turned gamekeeper… although I think that title should really go to Derek Robertson!
Neil Winton (Email) (URL) - 15-10-’08 14:50John, congratulations on the new job and new blog! I’ve subscribed.
You really should promote the stuff you do to more people – I wasn’t aware of half the things you do. More educators need to know of the amazing work you’ve done and will continue to do in your new role!
Doug Belshaw (URL) - 17-10-’08 18:08Thanks folks,
Neil, not sure about being a gamekeeper, I hope to be able to poach some pupils at some point, time will tell.
Thanks of the compliment Doug, I’ve been doing my best on the promotion front, efforts probably now dashed by moving urls
