I’m at the lovely Teachmeet 08 gathering at Olympia, ably unorganised by Ewan McIntosh.
18:12 ish. I was chuffed that Ewan described ode as “funky”.
Things are moving quickly so this might be pretty incoherent until I get a chance to come back and clean it up a bit.
18:35 Ian Usher is talking about Moodle. We like Moodle…we really want to provide tools that work with Moodle in the future. He had a quick word about content and content providers. To paraphrase… “teachers don’t like buying a “big fat box” of it”…he mentioned ode too. (edit- It went by in a slight blur but hopefully it was mentioned as an exception to the existing content provider paradigm. Here is Ian’s blog post about Teachmeet)
Right now a great mashup of Subterranean Homesick Blues just finished playing in his presentation.
It’s all very interesting with other things talked about so far…Resources for Innovators in Schools plus a look at the Asus EeePC.
Unfortunately, Alex Savage was due to speak but had to leave to catch a train.
18:45 Blogging in a primary environment using Honeycomb is being presented by Vivien Bailey.
18:50 Yacapaca sounds pretty neat!
PS – After a long day on a stand at the trade show, the beer is tasting good 🙂
20:28 Just heard Derek Robertson‘s great talk about games in education in Scottish schools…really good. Had a small nap…but I’m back!

Fixed! That bit was just before my mini-sleep!
Just back from London. Might be time to have a maxi-sleep.
