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.

The usual cohort of puppies and ponies found their way into their DTP projects. The boys on the other hand did not even know the service had been [...]

Google Image Search is blocked!

No warning! The Google Image Search facility has been blocked on the Schools’ Broadband Service.

It seems to have fallen foul of FortiNet filtering protocols. I doubt if it was a policy decision by the NCTE as many schools use Google Image Search everyday. There may have been a category filing software glitch which [...]

CESI Dublin Blocked!

It was only a matter of time before the CESI Dublin blog would fall victim to the Irish Schools’ Broadband filtering service managed by FortiNet. Why? Because some of the links though educational in content may contain comments expressed in appropriate language.
