Elive
Exciting Stuff.
Over at eLive! Scotland seems to have got the blogging buzz at last.
Last year at SETT I tried to blog some stuff from the floor, borrowing machines at random stalls.
Today I am sitting in my classroom (I’ve a student in, and she is having a crit) reading elive as it happens. I guess wifi has arrived at the Scots Edu conference world.
Alan november is keynoting.
Tim Lauer Re-appears
Tim was offline for the last week or so with DNS Issues He say’s
My site has been down for about a week with a DNS issue. It is finally resolved. Not that anyone missed anything while I was gone…
Well I missed you Tim and saw the Safari can’t find the server message everyday. I can’t tell you that in a comment as they don’t seem to be working?
Tim is in my daily reading and I’ve had as much fun following up web and ed ideas from him as anywhere. You also get a lovely feeling about Lewis Elementary from Tim’s postings.
Recent Reading
I flagged these in Vienna and am still experimenting with AppleScript blogging.

A Vist from De Rank
Our partner school in the Netherlands arrived last night. Some of the Sandaig staff met them for some fun and games is George Square. I took Hans and Ingrid to Starbucks to do some blogging: Basisschool De Rank Weblog. We had a bit of bother, but managed to work around it. There should be more posts on their blog and our Sandaig – De Rank blog over the next couple of days.
Notice the care with which I took the photo, no corporate logos.
Maps Again
My latest effort to provide a tool for producing annotated with text and image google maps. This one adds Lightbox JS v2.0 to view full-sized images by clicking the thumbnails in the popup things.
The map was produced with this setup which I think is well within the capabilities of most primary pupils. There a few rough edges that need ironed out, especially in the image upload and the code (don’t look it is horrible), but if I get a bit of time this week I’ll unleash primary six on it as testers. Fell free to make a map of your own over the next couple of days. After that I’ll be password protecting it.
ThinkFree Online
ThinkFree Online beta via Tim Lauer. 1GB storage. The quick Edit module is one of these form things that Safari does not like, but there is a power edit mode which is a Java applets thing. I hardly every have to use word so I guess this might be useful for me when it gets out of beta. There are a lot of features, the most intriguing is the insert picture, you can choose clip art, file, or flickr, the flickr window lets you search flickr and insert the result.
This and Ewan’s comment made me thing about the amount of time I spend in front of the screen. It is comforting to me that very little of this time is using word.
Map progress
After a disappointing day I am working on the Sandaig Maps Experiment
you can now create new maps, edit them.
Still to do image upload and selection.
