snap shot

Well this could be interesting. I'm looking for ways of using snapshot. Maybe if I just list a series of links I use in day to day life it'll just happen....not

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.comI just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.
Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.
Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Tim Rylands uses ICT invisibly

ICT invisiblity

Hi Doug. I wondered if you'd found the stuff that Tim Rylands had been doing with Myst. It kind of reminded me when you showed your "Piano " video.I have done this with a couple of classes and I have to say the results are excellent. I downloaded the free 30 second clips from games sites and used them. I must have downoloaded about 15 minutes worth for the first lesson as I had no idea how it would go. In the end I used 8 seconds for an hours session!!:)

Things I need to know

noreply@blogger.com (Katej) — Wed, 1 Nov 2006 06:02:00 -0800

Content Aggregator

It is possible for an organisation such as a school to install its own blog server (there are kits that can be downloaded free of charge from the internet) and thus provide blogspace for its own community.

sample acceptable use policies

It is also essential that pupils are taught safe and sensible behaviours when using weblogs, whether as an author or as a reader, both in the school setting or via personal weblogs outside of the school environment. This would include ensuring that you don’t reveal information which can personally identify you, ensuring that you don’t make derogatory or libellous statements about others, and ensuring that you don’t infringe the intellectual property rights of others

The Guardian weblog guide gives an overview of weblogs, and provides links to the best journalistic weblogs online.

Blogging..... why on googleearth?....

noreply@blogger.com (Katej) — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 07:38:00 -0800

Is it me ? Well obviously!! Do you know this blogging business? I can see why it appeals to teenagers ...its like writing a diary without the lock.... everyone can read it and maybe that's the flip side of the excitement instead of it being very secret its very very open. But on a day to day basis would I bother... ermm...... no... I'm not the diary keeping type.
Now. Educational use. Would I like the children in my class to keep a blog e.g using the easy set up in Bebo? .....Ermmm... No. I worry that they would, at the very least, receive unwanted attention from un savoury types or arghh.. imagine, they put in their details by mistake and were contacted and...... doesn't bear thinking about really.
I can see the point of the whole social software scene if its part of an online group or project but setting up a blog for a blogs sake just seems a daft thing to do. Do I honestly believe that in the vast arena of the internet that someone is actually going to find and read this? No I think not. Not unless I tell them wherre it is. I bet I could give my boss a challenge of finding this blog and he never would. So I think that the people who create blogs are actually a bit self obsessed...well I've made one:) I don't think you need a blog to be part of the social software scene I just think you need to take part in ones where the people who actually start them off have something to give or say. If all of us minions do it as well the whole thing just gets too crowded and we'll never find the goodstuff.
I also worry about the safety aspect. How do you manage to keep your identity safe? Putting your picture on isn't a partic good idea. but most children and adults will since there is a picture tool available...aaaargh.
Please leave me your comments I'd love to know more and alos let me know your fav. blog sites so that i can see good ones in action.

Shark Bytes

On the 17/08/05 I will be flying out to South Africa in the hope of watching a Great White shark appearing out of the gloomy waters to look at me in my cage. I am also not in my right mind and may get out of the cage to speak to it!!!

October 2005
Well how time flies! That was absolutely brilliant. Saw 2 great whites. They appeared after the Southern Right whales had finished with us.
I was thoroughly over excited, but not scared, I hasten to add. Thus my underwater pictures were rubbish.

I want to help to study these wonderful creatures so if any one wants to give me a job chumming the alley, measuring fins or counting teeth I'm your man.

Grateful thanks to Great White Shark Adventures ... crew and ground staff. an ambition achieved in my life. Unfortunately it makes me want to do it again so Ill have to keep saving the pennnies. :)
