This year we blogged our trip: Netherlands 2005

The response from parents has been tremendous, over 60 comments in a week.

The tech and work flow was far from ideal, but well worth the effort.

Workflow went like this, each day we took a bunch of photos. On the bus the children wrote notes in their diaries and I created galleries of the pictures on a laptop. I then typed up some of the notes.

Back at the hotel I took the words and web pages on a pen drive to the manager’s computer, uploaded the galleries and used the types notes to paste into the blog along with links to the photos.

A bit frantic as there was little time to work online.

We had also hoped to podcast but I had really overestimated the time available and underestimated the time needed.
