  • Apple Digital Bootcamp - 2010-08-23 18:22:57 -

    I have just finished my first day of three at the Apple Digital Bootcamp being held in Alexandra College, Milltown, Dublin. It was a long day 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. filled will hands-on practical workshops. The event was organised by the INTO with the full support of Apple Ireland. Typetec ltd supplied the Apple hardware to the PC community. Both primary and post-primary teachers are being fast-tracked by experts through podcasting, animation, digital photography, videography, music, etc. I can't wait for tomorrow - if I can get up in the morning.

  • WeatherPixie is under the weather - 2010-08-07 15:43:04 -

    The WeatherPixie.com has been experiencing server trouble for the last 6 months and is in need of pixie dust. It was definitely down at the end of February as it was pointed out to me in some of my birthday greetings.  I have just gone onto the site and it is empty except for a Twitter link for @weatherpixieHQ .  Judging from the last tweet on March 7th nothing else seems to be happening. Bearing that in mind I am going to retire WeatherPixie from the sidebar until further developments have taken place on the site.

WordPress.com Blocked!

I was surprised to discover this morning that http://www.dublincesi.wordpress.com was blocked by FortiNet, the contracted filtering service for the the Schools’ Broadband Network. I checked out Virtual Education http://virtued.wordpress.com/ and it too is blocked. Both blogs were accessible before the CESI conference -  a week earlier!

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

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 education [...]

SASNS Blocked in Malta!

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.
