The Love Twitter Meme

Twitter users fall into 3 distinct categories:

Rarely use because it doesn’t suite their style;
Like using it but in moderation;
Really love using it and will twitter almost anything.

Those who follow me on twitter know I fall into third category and frequently share the funny aspects of my life. Probably the only person who has [...]

Life IS LIKE a Box Of Chocolates AND Blogging IS LIKE…

Ashley (from the Student Blogging Competition) comment on what blogging means to her really says it all! And worthy of being WAY more than a comment!
Hope she doesn’t mind me turning it into a picture to put on my easel?

FINAL THOUGHT
Off course like all artists I’m always looking for inspirations for my easel. [...]

Twitter and Building Your Personal Learning Network

It’s well known that I’m a self confessed Twitteraholic and twitter is an important part of my personal learning network. I’ve even written a Quick Start Tips for New Twitters.
Yet I’ve never been comfortable with recommending twitter as a starting point to build a personal learning network.

YouTube and Downloading?

In early September EDNA’s Blogging Corner’s forum debated the legalities of downloading YouTube videos because it’s a violation of YouTube’s terms of service to download.
So I was intrigued that Simon and Matthieu information on YouTube states that:

A copy of a YouTube video may be downloaded under section 28 of the Australian Copywrite act provided that [...]

MY NEW Look! Do I Look Younger or Older?

Been feeling frustrated because my personal blog, Mobile Technology in TAFE, and The Edublogger look similar. Felt each blog needed it’s own unique feel so readers could easily tell them apart.
Then Anne Mirtschin commented that her third most ‘hit’ page/post is her ‘About page’. And my blogs? Second most ‘hit’ page/post on [...]

Learning Together By HELPING The Student blogging competition!

You’d think I’d know better after the 31 Days To Build A Better Blog and Comment Challenge but NO! Why? Because I know how much everyone benefits from these Challenges.

What THE — Pay? Internet? @SCHOOL?

Perhaps I’m incredibly naive or stupid? I’d never in a million years thought any school would charge their students for the privilege to access the school’s Internet! Yet apparently this is the case.
During a lovely chat with Sue Tapp she casually said her biggest barrier to using web technologies with her students is they [...]
