So here we go, time to take a totally new direction with this blog. I have been blogging all these great gigs for a while now but time to shift this little blog into something more. Having just returned from ULearn08 I am inspired to particularly work on developing my network of educators, both here and abroad. It seems to me social networking of this sort is one of the keys to the future of education and is one of the best examples of social constructivism I can think of. We all love the rhetoric around social constructivism, but really as teachers, how often do we model it and participate in it - to be honest transmission is all to easily the default position. Anyway, off we go into a new direction.
My particular highlight of ULearn was Suzie Vesper's preconference workshop on blogs and wikis. Not only did we learn tricks to smart-up our blogs using things like slideshows from Flikr , like this little one I made here at The Botanic Gardens in ChCh...
But also did nifty remote audio clips using Utterli. She has a link to her wiki which is filled with great ideas.

Hi Craig - thanks for the comment :) Nice pics too!! It made me realise that we didn't end up sharing those at the workshop after running out of time. I'll keep an eye on your blog now to see what you get up to with things like Utterli!
