31st March

Tuesday, 31 March up early this morning starting work for real MA but not getting very far as yet thinking about this blog idea and realising that chronologically it shows how little I have been doing on the research side for the MA, so that has got to be the priority to the next week or two. But I haven't not been working, I have been thinking a lot about the technology, looking in particular twitter and managing to - with the help of a parent - to get twitter feed directly onto the front page of my art department website. With a programme on the iPhone I can twitter directly from the phone messages, tweets, to the front page of art@sidcot. Just beginning to explore the consequences of very short blogging like this, micro blogging and what it might mean the school use. And I was interested that the guys at last week's lecture were looking at blogging and twitter in particular in relation to the games that they were producing, and how games players might be twittering between each other. I have got quite a lot of learning to do as yet on this technology. I also need to update the silver blog and put that into the MA. Thoughts on online resources for schools. And read the stuff that I have gradually been downloading from the Internet which is on online resources for schools. I have been trying to see whether Steven Hepple or any of that lot are on twitter but I can't see them and the best I have managed is Stephen Fry.
