Today I did a short (well, possibly not short enough – I think I over-ran a bit!) presentation on my experiences on the TTP, my action research on blogs and what directions I’m now taking to introduce colleagues in school to the potential of blogging. It was a really interesting day, with some fascinating discussions on people’s different experiences of using ICT in education and people’s ‘critical incidents’ in changing their thinking about technologies, or inspiring them on the road to using technologies. I was really interested to see what David Townsend was doing at Greensward school with integrated use of ICT and genuine personalised learning platforms as part of that.
For anyone reading this from the course, I’ve added more links to blogs on the right – mine and colleagues’. If you go to Sue Kambalu’s blog, it also has a whole wealth of links, both in her blogroll and on this post. Do post a comment on here if you have any questions about blogging, how to use it with students, etc.
I think the presentation will be available on the MirandaNet site shortly, though I’m not sure where. I’m going to attempt to attach it to this post as well, though I haven’t attached any files before, so it may not work!
I’m also making a belated new year’s resolution to post on this blog more often about what I’ve been doing. Here’s hoping that doesn’t go the way of other resolutions I made this year!

Thank you for a very interesting session at the CLC, I’ve come away with plenty of ideas for ways to use blogs more effectively than I have been doing. I’m quite excited and am almost, only almost, impatient for September to roll around so I can start putting things into place properly.
