In the last post, I just uploaded 3 photos; it gave me the option to create a gallery, but I could only do it with the 3 photos I’d uploaded. I actually wanted to have one on its own, and two together. (Got over it by having them immediately after each other). However, it made…

Getting Sugar talking!
(No, nothing to do with Sir Alan!) I’ve got an OLPC , and have an Acer Aspire Netbook with Sugar On A Stick installed – and was trying to get them to recognise each other, in order to demonstrate the mesh & collaborative working. I was able to get both onto the Uni Network (though…
Sorted!
I’ve now got it all sorted so that I can use the updating features from within WordPress, upload photos etc., etc., etc. Have also worked out how to create webusers (which I think I may well use to enable my students to host websites next year, not just build them). I’ve tried creating a sub-domain…
Wordle – 5
Having just sorted out all the images on my blog (and a few other tweaks that needed it), I realise it’s been a while since I did a Wordle of the blog: So, here it is: Created on wordle…
It's been a while…
… since I really last used this blog. There isn’t really a definite reason; Twitter is one – I am pretty active on twitter (though I see that as I’ve not updated the twitter plugin recently, it’s not correct here!); I’d also started to put more and more things in the ‘drafts’ section, which I’ve…
Facebook it, Tweet it and the world knows: myth or reality.
That was the working title for the session that Timothy Collinson and I are doing for tonight’s Cafe Scientifique in Portsmouth. As we’ve been discussing it (on twitter, natch!) it’s been quite hard to restrict ourselves to that – we’ve found ourselves drifting off almost into citizen journalism – in other words when people *wanted*…
Moved …
I’ve not blogged for ages … in no small part due to my tweeting; but also due to a particularly hectic first semester (now long over) – and the knowledge that we’re just about to move servers. I’ve now got an account on the new server, so spent yesterday mirroring this to there: The new…
Getting back into the blogging habit.
Over the past few weeks, more than one person has asked if my URL has changed. It hasn’t. I’m just a rubbish blogger. I’ve got more into Twitter I guess; but I do have more than a few “drafts” just sitting in here – and other ideas floating round my head. Now that I’ve just…
Changing another unit!
Having posted some of my ideas about updating Edcom and wanting it to be more “Web2.0” oriented, I’m also thinking about another unit – Research Methods for the Level 2 students. (warning; may take some time to appear). This was originally developed by Terry King, for a small group of students – all of whom…
What's in a name?
I’ve recently been involved with an email based discussion with other colleagues about aspects of “mobile” learning. There are various things we’ll be looking at, such as capabilities devices that students actually have, technical developments etc., and, the aspect I personally feel is crucial …the pedagogical issues involved when delivering learning material on small form-factor…
