Well crunch time is coming soon, for the third Modules outline to the assignment. I have still not made any firm choices into what to base the study on….my brainstorm still hangs over my head with too many ideas….Recent research, links below to reviews, have been interesting and really focus on the difficulties of change management in schools and specifically if adoption and change of teacher practices when it comes to the use of ICT. The article surrounding the problems related to growing up in a High Tech society although very negative does raise serious issues about technologies and whether they are taking over not only adults lives, but also students lives. Here I am writing this blog, it does not take much time but still eats into time for relaxation and rest during the evenings.

Maybe more use of software related to having time off and proper breaks from technology use needs to be looked at. But as the article suggests are we as adults disciplined enough to do this, I doubt it. So what hope to students have in our schools. Workrave linked below is an interesting and simple program that ensures once setup that you have regular breaks and also you set a top limit to time spent on the computer. Could be useful, but am I disciplined enough to install and use this. Time will tell, especially with a assignment looming, application for jobs and piles of ICT department work to be sorted out.

Interesting application that will set time limits on how long you work at the computer …am I strong enough to use it?
Final news is that Elgg has recieved an upgrade, and sometime this year I am determined to set this up on the my server and hopefully link with CICT Moodle. Fingers crossed I find time, within the four hours limit one day.
