Adventures in Teaching and Learning

Blackwell’s is now advertising Samson’s book with the cover picture. Still not sure if this is the final version or not, but it’s nice to be able to share something that makes it seem more immediate!

I’ve discovered a new website – www.bliin.com – which uses GPS to track your position and uploads photos to your precise location on a GoogleEarth map. You can follow the trips your friends make, and share views with the world. Or just your friends. Or just yourself. Unfortunately I’m having difficulty uploading the file to my phone, so I’m not yet fully connected, but I have friends that I’ve been following. Let me know if anyone can help me out on the uploading bit! And have fun being tracked …!

Follow this link to read some “top tips” from The Edublogger (edublogs’ blog) and other bloggers on using blogs with pupils. There are comments on safety, moderation, class blogs and individual blogs.

Another case of digital breadcrumbs … I was browsing Twitter when I came across a link to Ewan McIntosh’s blog which looked interesting. From there, I followed a link to MediaSnackers, which is where I found this video. I thought it was a good concise description of many young people today.
