er don't know the date Friday I think might be the 23rd of 24th right one more assessment to do and that is about my continuing practice email from Judith this morning about Mediascape so I think that writing out a proposal for funding for the mediascape will be one bit of it I could add the Becta bid what is happening there with Ami and the other schools with another bit of the bid and what is happening with Apple trying to get regional training status that could be part of what I am trying to do in the new build and then what I am trying to do for the animation that could be another aspect to it Roehampton and the Gateshead CLC and developing animation use in school particularly in relation to looking at animators getting resource material together that is actually what I was thinking this part of the methodology would be about very much getting that together for the two conferences and then on the website front all the flash stuff and the website that is now up and running for Sidcot another website so I think that that is all that assignment sorted I have just got to write it now and the sooner the better so maybe that is my task for the weekend but bloody computers garage band won't start up disk won't verify disks keep dying brand new bloody computer two white laptops out because their batteries don't work any more after a year and a half money money money tipped down the drain and then facebook I have lots of past students on my facebook account and last weekend one of these students he wasn't particularly pleasant when he was at school but he sent round a bit of video clip from a security camera of a motorcyclist going under the tires of a truck and getting spread across the road and it really made me feel quite ill all week and thinking a lot about that because it was sort of sent around as a laugh I suppose or that laugh horror gore sort of thing and wondering where that fits in with my freedom not to look at that sort of stuff same with pornography viagra junk email where does my freedom not to look at that stuff what are my rights what are other peoples rights how does that fit in with Tibet I gave a long tirade to my form group yesterday about penis enlargement and people going under tires and the Olympic torch should we have a system like China where google is blocked or do we need it to be totally free mind you google is better than it used to be there was a time when i wouldn't dare let a 10 year old type pussy into google when she was looking for pictures of cats and kittens enough of this rubbish end call.
