It’s the kind of work I really enjoy: explaining technology to motivated novices. Novices is perhaps unfair as the majority of the audiences have been quite clued up but with gaps in their knowledge. The point is the talks have been for those outside of the learning technology world wanting simple explanations free of techno-babble.

Perhaps I could write a blog along similar lines? Would anyone be interested? What form would it take? Give it a go?

Many moons ago I started to use this blog as a tool to help write my dissertation. It didn’t work but the disseration is now in the past (hurrah :-) ) so I’ve cleared the whole thing out and am thinking about starting the blog again… just need a purpose.

I was remidinded of edublogs and this account when I came across the new Edublogs magazine.

Is edublogs always this slow?

How are tags different to categories, very confusing…
