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.

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 [...]

I understood that I was attending the workshops and participating in discussions [...]

This project has received international recognition on a worldwide basis and many teachers have told me that the project has had a positive influence on [...]

THE LEGEND OF THE LITTLE ANGEL

Dear friends at St. Attracta’s,

since we have just returned from our Easter holidays, we thought to do a legend related to the passion of Christ for our next podcast. it is a legend which is told in many primary schools in Malta, and it is found in a school Maltese reading textbook.

Greetings from Brussels

Please forgive the delay but my laptop is still out of action. To add to my misery the new laptop I brought along to Brussels in its place was stolen from the “Finalists Exhibition Area.”

The original video was on the stolen laptop so here is a video of the video at the awards’ ceremony. Enjoy!

What eTwinning means . . .

Here is the video I used in our finalists’ presentation at the 2nd Annual eTwinning Conference held in Brussels on the weekend of February 23rd – 25th 2007. None of the children’s answers were coached or prompted. We hope you enjoy it.
