Once I’d figured out how, exactly, to get the SIM card in – I then tried to get online. It did tell me it was on the Wifi network at home – though when I was browsing, it continually had a “G” in the top corner – which made me wonder how it was actually…
I’ve just got mine on trial from http://www.womworld.com – am going to see what it makes of my pay-as-you-go card later on (lets hope that it’s charged, as the charger in the box is EU – while I have a US adapter for my OLPC, all my EU ones are at home. )…
Malinka Ivanova has a list of a number of tools to visualise links in social networking. I see she’s also got a cloud tag powered by Quintura – a search engine that’s interested me for some time….
Following a blog post from AJCann about the wordle of his blog, I thought I’d re-do mine. It’s very unlike the last one! I should try to do it on a regular basis. In the Wordle Gallery…
I’ve just found NewsFilm Online from the Guardian Education Website. Most Universities in the UK seem to have access, seems like a very valuable resource….
I’ve just done my last session at CAU – yesterday I’d got the students to present their websites -which went very well, and the level 2 students to show me their group research projects – explaining what they’d discovered. Clearly the research project was quite difficult for them, as quite a few had inadvertently plagiarised,…
Free Technology for teachers has a link to some Google templates to aid with creating bibliographies. I’ve got the students to create a Google Doc with their work & referencing isn’t a strong point (not that UK students are that much better!), so I think I’m going to start by sending them here! Blogged with…
I’ve just been told that CAU does have access to eJournals – I guess I must have not made it clear to the students what it was I was trying to ask them (Or maybe they’re just like UK students, they get told lots of times & still forget!) Now … to figure out which…
I’m getting some of my students to use blogs as part of their work while I’m here. We have a unit in the second year in which the students (in Portsmouth) have to use Eduspaces (Elgg powered) to create a “blog carnival” of their research. I’ve not got the time for that & also the…
I’m now in China, visiting the China Agricultural University. I’m doing some teaching with some students who’re going to be coming to Portsmouth University next year/the following one. It’s been a little different – teaching in rooms that have limited & patchy internet access; using Chalk rather than whiteboards (chalk has a lot going for…
