I mentioned I had tried the Beta.

Just downloaded the final from ‘Get Google Earth‘

And I though that my terms planning was well under way.

How blogs can make the link and Podcasting: a case study both on an education guardian.co.uk/ micro site quote me. Hopefully this should increase the number of comments the children’s blogs are getting. It certainly cheers me up a bit, valadation for afar, just like comments on the children’s blogs.

When I am not eating, drinking, visiting updating webpages or walking along the canal in the mirk, I have be mostly browsing and avoiding writing 7 things(I’ll try this soon David).

Interesting stuff I’ve found:

retrievr – search by sketch via Tim Lauer

Weblogg-ed Tech Tools For Learning links to a nice pdf.

Tools for the TEKS: podcasting intro

another podcasting intro

A ton of posts at: 2 Cents Worth almost made me comment, but I am too far into the holidays to think that much.

And I have managed to switch my browser habit to a Vienna one for reading blogs.

All this means I am avoiding a wee bit of assessment I have to do before Monday.

Found a few Sandaig mentions too:

Sandaig got a mention in the “Podcasts for Educators” Weblog Highlights from 2005 where they play a snippet from our podcast along with some other school podcasts.

Anne Davis: What’s going on inside your head? says I seem to be spending a lot of time in Scotland lately. Really good things are happening there. which should be encouraging for us scot-edu-blog folk.

Dragon on its way

David Warlick’s Year End Reflections list the milestones in his development: dramatic lunges upward, as a discover something new that so thrills my sense of the possiblities that it is like being violently lifted to a new plateau

I was delighted to see:

# 1990 – Hypertalk (another programming language and even more magic)

as one of the milestones, HyperCard has been sadly neglected by Apple. Thankfully there is still SuperCard which I use every day and blog about here. Unfortunatly I can’t use it on the School network (pc, and teachers can’t install software), but SuperCard could let children to all sorts of cool things very simply (say create web pages). teacher can make fun game (some of mine are here).

I give a lot to be able to use SC in the class with a network connection.
