Very enjoyable interview on RSS/blogging

Thanks to all who came across to the interview with Alan Levine from Maricopa Community College, and Garry Putland of EdNA, at the Learning Times. If you're interested in RSS/blogging, and you missed the session, you can still find the archived recording on the LearningTimes site

Plenty of questions were covered .. What's it all about, how do bloggers find the time, how does this change the idea of online communities, how do you know which bloggers are the experts worth following, how does this impact on critical literacies ..?

(LearningTimes requires register/login and Java download).

So Jo Murray at the Knowledge Tree asked me to write a paper examining the whole syndication thing. [read the paper

• in a web version on this site,
• at the Knowledge Tree in a webbed version,
• or at the Knowledge Tree in word/pdf]

The rest of the Knowledge Tree online journal is also full of plenty of great articles to read – take a look!

Been furiously writing ..

Hello wonderful visitor! How lovely of you to drop by, despite the colour scheme, and the no-pot-of-coffee waiting.

"Open Source, Language and Literacy"

It's been an exciting couple of months for me, as i've been asked to write a few articles. One for the coming Journal "Australian Language and Literacy Matters", a new project emerging from Australian Language Matters and the ARIS Resources Bulletin.
