Moodle 1.6 will take a little longer….

Well besides the fact that I am having some troubles with updating my Moodle installation but also deciding that as it is the summer holiday I should be taking a little more relaxed attitude, I am aiming for a return of my CICT Moodle by the start of term so my students can start using the LMS again hopefully with a few new elements to intrigue them.

Have started to read Virtual Society? Technology, Cyberbole and Reality. But finding it heavy going as an introduction to the next module. And also looking through the ‘Doing Your Research Project?’ for my critical study although no further ideas except maybe the idea about focusing down on cultural attitudes to Web 2.0 learning tools and their problems within restrictive religious or political societies? Hmmm! could be interesting…

But most importantly here is Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra…..

Well I am enjoying my sabbatical summer, well if it can be called that. But continue to wander through my ‘edu-bloggers’ posts in my aggregator. It has become second nature and almost obsessive which is worrying. Weird how some of the things and items I included in my assignment seem to be popping up everywhere and beign discussed including this interesting paper from Miguel Guhlin called Blogs: Webs of Connected Learning. Remembered I used those words connected learning frequently in my words.

Interesting fighting talk from Miles Berry aswell about the use of open-source LMC like Moodle and how London Grid for Learning are fighting against this. That will pop up in my next delicious links post, which if you hadn’t realised is posted here the next day if I place any social bookmarks in my account.

Final juicyness out there is this wonderful starter which almost every non ICT using modern teacher would support; whether your attention span is a sign of how intelligent you are?

Enough for now, some wonderful conversations out there. Will be off to Mexico on Friday so only expect the delicious links for a while unless I get tempted by an internet cafe somewhere.

Performancing for Firefox

Well I have started to produce an oultine mindmap for my 6000 word assignment, but as always I seem to have got a little sidetracked. I suddenly remembered that I had downloaded the Perfomancing plugin for Firefox. Which allows me to write a blog post quickly within the browser, to any of my blogs. So this is a test more than anything.

Hopefully by the end of the day I will have posted my full outline mindmap to this blog aswell, which should include all links to resources and more.
