Thanks Jo :-) http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2008/03/19/glowboy-gets-flash/ Oh dear! What's happened now! I made a comment (verbal as opposed to blog), at coffee this morning, which invoked the response, "Well you just don't shout loud enough!. There must be a proverb about that!", they said. Which of course immediately brought to mind something about vessels. What a state my ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2008/03/04/i-feel-a-blog-post-coming-on/ Just experimenting with various things I can do from within Glow. Editing this from within the PageViewer web part is a bit difficult since some of WP's pallets are getting in the way on the right hand side of where I'm writing but hey just more typos, not to worry. Now lets ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2008/02/21/blogging-from-within-glow/ Well eventually I made it to a teachmeet, having missed out on last September's one at SFL 2007  and Ewan's Friday night session down at BETT 2008. However it was in large part due to the herculean effort of David acting as chauffeur for 5 of the East Lothian gang. Two and a ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2008/02/20/teachmeet08-north/ Phew! Well it's over! We have just undergone two days of “Operational Training”. At this a group including Glow Mentors and IT staff, Admin staff, an ICT Coordinator, a Librarian and a Technician, were introduced to the roles involved in setting up and administering the Glow sites mentioned above. Decisions have ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2008/01/30/glow-operational-training-2/ I don't claim to be the worlds most prolific blogger. My philosophy is "If I've owt t' say, I'll let thee know, 't otherwise I'll keep mi gob shut" (apologies to practicing Tykes, it's 40 year since I left the West Riding) but just recently there were three blog related ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2007/11/07/a-blogging-health-warning/ Glow mentors seem to have been left languishing wondering what is happening with the Glow project in East Lothian. I can tell you now, following a 3 1/2 hour meeting yesterday afternoon, that a great deal is happening behind the scenes. The infamous "RPRB" checklist was given a sever ticking off ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2007/11/01/glow-mentor-role-in-glow-roll-out/ Now that I am in post, GIO, I though I would resume blogging but with a different slant on things. No metaphors [PS] :?) It has not always been obvious to those of us away from the centre of things, what actually was going on with Glow. Particularly, as a mentor, ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2007/10/25/the-roll-out-process/ Normally, when I go somewhere, I stay well away from the usual packaged tours. I prefer to do my own thing, eh? However on this journey the offers were really ones I couldn't refuse. I did actually go on one last year in Grand Canaria - a safari jeep off-road trek. ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2007/04/05/packaged-tours/ Well at last I'm here! I'm in Portal, the arrival point in Glow. Things are looking a lot better than the last time I was here, I have to say. Typical of these popular destinations, a lot of development has gone on since my last visit just before Christmas. I'm glad ... http://edubuzz.org/blogs/glowboy/2007/03/29/touch-down/
