I’m giving a talk for the library tomorrow, about Blogs and Wikis. It’s really just to get them going to start to think about how libraries are using blogs and wikis. I put the slides up in slideshare, but have just discovered that if you want to have links in a slideshow, the link needs…
An AJAX based timeline that can be changed with different datasets. As well as examples, there is a guide for building your own. I like the fact that it’s possible to have a single line (band) with differing timescales in. I can see the possibility for creating Gantt Charts from this – though clearly at…
The BBC have plans for a virtual world, aimed at 7-12 year olds. “It will give children a chance to move around a safe, secure world where they can not only interact with familiar characters but have an opportunity to make that world a more fascinating place with their own imaginations.” Those building CBBC World…

I have to prepare a session on Web 2.0 for some web design students (so, not just “Education 2.0”), so I thought I’d look at what’s already available in Slideshare – with the thought of adding mine to it. Searching for Web2 brought up this presentation Wikis: Do They Need Usability Engineering?, which is looking…
Nick, one of last year’s MSc students has just sent me a link to thinkature – it seems like an excellent tool for sharing ideas – an improved Gliffy!…
After John had commented about Grazr in a post about getting RSS into WebCT- reminding me that I’d had a play in the past, but had forgotten about it, I’ve had another look. I had hoped initially that I’d be able to synchronise Bloglines with Grazr. Initially I thought that I was going to have…
