NextGen Slideshow Fixed - 2011-09-17 20:53:34 -
I uninstalled the NextGEN plugin and reinstalled it but my gallery links were demolished. I will re-import them to set up a new link table - when I have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

No I am not giving up on blogging or podcasting!

On the contrary, I have 96 private postings from the last 14 months on various topics which I shared with 43 WordPress trainees. 29 of these WordPress enthusiasts are from the eTwinning community and the remainder are teachers from around Ireland and some PC users who attended last year's Digital Bootcamp organised by the INTo and delivered by Apple last summer in Alexander College, Dublin.

I will tidy them up, especially the posts with links and publish them (publicly) over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the "Back 2 School" emails.

WordPress.com Blocked!

I doubt if it was a policy decision! Well [...]

Open Education Disc Project Blocked!

More frustration! During coffee this morning I mentioned the Open Education Disc project. Lo and behold the site is blocked. It is listed on Google but the site is blocked. This would have been a golden opportunity for European teachers to contribute to its proposed content.

This is a free, open source [...]

I have had to work from images of the school podcast studio and children’s work from my portable hardisk that I happened to have with me. Access to my online NAS drive is blocked. The whole organisation of online access is a mess. No advanced planning took place. The access times are very [...]

Slua Blocked in Malta school

Just got www.slua.com white listed in the host school for this weekend’s Professional Development Workshops in Malta. I have just learned that I am presenting three full workshops over the weekend so I will have to modify other presentations in a hurry. I understood that I was attending the workshops and participating in discussions [...]

Babel Fish Blocked!

BabelFish is still blocked to Irish schools by Fortinet. This is a repeat of December 5th. I submitted it back then for approval but nothing happened.
