AWOL...

Well - I've now returned to my original terrapin after refurbishment, and a variety of other little niggles including a broken fibre link! Still - all up and running again... I still have an IWB to move into a new classroom before the condemmed terrapin comes down and a solution to fixing my projector to the very thin ceiling of my room.

I've managed to get licences for my RM IWBs to run the Smart software. (Thanks John)

My Class Diary Blog now has 222 posts, of various standards of speelings and content. And to add to the success, a pupil who moved to the Channel Isles has just joined and is keeping in touch with her old classmates.
(And arranging holidays between themselves - but not for ex-teachers!)

I'm experimenting with some Amateur Radio too and have a digital Satellite system in the classroom, with radio and aerial (APRS). The program I use shows radio amateurs with GPS systems connected to radios in their cars moving around local maps. If I can connect it to one of the servers through the EMBC filters, I shall be able to have a wide range of Geography opportunities with maps and places to discover. Who do I talk to about that, John?

Nettie, would it be possible to see your questionaire questions? Thanks..

Assuming you have Junior Viewpoint I will try to upload the questionnaire layout to the PLICT shared area on the portal. I must say though (as with most things) if I did it again I would do it slightly differently!!

That's a lot of postings, well done Pete. Oh, and with the change over from Fujitsu to Synetrics the shared folders may be out of actions for a short period, so I think we'll email that questionnaire around. Thanks Nettie! Can't wait for the new RM learning platform!
