Not only am I really excited (and a bit nervous) - but I'm stupidly happy because the WiFi is free!

We've had some really interesting stuff already about how much they're investing in the role.

Wow - a wiki that works!

Jane Shuyska from the Department of Education at Oxford Uni has been showing my year 9 class (whom I call Marwick cos I can't retain the complicated computer numbers that they go by in the school timetable) the wiki / mind map combination she's working on called "thinkspace".  Jane is doing some research as to how / if students use this combination to aid their learning in history.

So, we're taking part in some consultation for NAGTY to help students to come up with ideas of what they would like to see in online learning communities and technologies.

As a preliminary I came up with a list of things they might like to think about, by way of inspiration.  I'm sure that what they come up with will be much much more interesting and creative, but in the meantime here's my suggestions.
