The Edublog Awards Winners of the 2005 EduBlogs. It’s good to see that there are some that I’m following, such as Anne Davies’ Edublog Insights, some that I dip in and out of, such as Konrad’s Blog of Proximal Development – so I know that I’ve found useful blogs. However, it’s even better to have…

apophenia: should i participate in a government panel?
An interesting dilemma …. I’d say “Go for it, danah”. You are unlikely to be able to influence them that much, but who knows. You’ll probably learn far more….
WebServices for Teaching and Learning
The NITLE News Volume 4, Number 4, Fall 2005. The main article of this edition looks at webservices, so pretty much tied up with Web 2.0. As the article concludes, Web 2.0 is very much in its infancy; the applications to education even more so. May well be interesting to look back at in say…
Issues re. Students and blogs.
Student Suspended over Blog Posts A potentially worrying report from Marquette University (US). A student has been suspended for the comments he’s made in a blog. However, if read this report, you’ll see that he’s commented about un-named staff & students, whereas other anonymous students have named staff in their complaints; equally, there must be…
first impressions based on tag clouds
apophenia has a nice look at tags. I’ve tried to use tags in the past – though have only tagged my own blog. By looking at a general tag clouds for Live Journal, Technorati & Del.icio.us, the markedly differing interests of the users can be seen….
Writely
I’ve already mentioned “Writely” though I have to confess that though I’d mentioned it previously, I’d not really tested it. Having read Brian Lamb’s review of it, I thought I’d really better check it out. I’ve set up an account, and am using it now, hopefully in the process of creating this particular post. Though…
edublogs being blocked!!! at incorporated subversion
edublogs being blocked!!! It seems that many States in Australia, as well as some UK LEAs judging by the comments in the post, have started to bulk block URLs that have “blog” in the title. (Reminds me of the cases of references to “Scunthorpe” being filtered out…) Darren Kuropatwa has a good summary of many…
Developing Online Communities the Centred Way
Developing Online Communities the Centred Way designed communities need to be focused, energized and purposeful. In the educational context there are many great examples of successful community themes around, for example, research, discipline, faculty, politics etc. We shouldnt over look these. Also, the communities we create need to be focused around individuals rather than separate…

Invited paper: What are the potential uses of Blogs in Teaching and Learning? – Andy Ramsden This paper was pointed out to me by Pat in our online session last night – thanks, Pat, it looks very useful….
Flock
I’m just testing Flock … a new browser. It’s very much in beta, but, one of the things that I can do with it, (in theory) is posting directly to a blog. OK, so it’s very like the “Press it” plugin that I have for WordPress, or the BlogIT that I had for blogger ……
