Hickstro and Co.

February 26, 2007

As fate would have it here in NSW Australia we struggle with an education system that honours keeping learners locked into LMS’s and given half a chance they’d be throwing away the key also. What’s with all the fear ? Sure there’s an election coming up and probably many re-structures to waste on the faces of the fairy’s who prance and pomp as Ministers and Magicians.

I wonder at how many clandestine OWP bloggers are out there building brilliance and engaging the minds of their students in real and relevant digital literacies. Heaven forbid the powers to be realised. What’s a blog I heard a senior staffer ask the other day ?

Tempted to retort with ‘poo’. A bit like ‘ computers say no’.

Check this marvel out and failing that dip your toes into this characters ramblings. Where do they get the inspiration from and why am I feeling so despondant about a sector that would rather provide rule and regulations for Bloggers disguised as guidelines and good news stories.

Make’s me ever increasingly sick and more determined to take up fly fishing in business case meetings. Failing that I’ll create more opportunities that mix business with treasure.

Please join us.

Friends : ELGG

February 22, 2007

…….finally they’ve come up with something that builds a community and makes sense to me who predominantly deals in visuals and other arbitrary connections.

Congratulations folks and as Steven Downe’s states you own him your first million.

Blogging : For The Greater Good

February 21, 2007

It ended in tears and a whole heap of whomers however the second iteration of the preceeding conversation opened up a can of worms as to the relevance of blogging, the rigidity of platforms and the whole issue of how we view blogs and their position in time.

[10:33:22 PM] Graham Wegner says: thnx for that - the 2nd comment - kim cofino?
[10:33:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: it is indeed
[10:33:32 PM] Alexander Hayes says: welcome Sue
[10:33:56 PM] Graham Wegner says: hi sue, sorry about bailing from the skype call the other night
[10:34:02 PM] Sue Waters says: Hi
[10:34:09 PM] Sue Waters says: That is okay Graham
[10:34:26 PM] Alexander Hayes says: so is it true that one blog is enough ?
[10:34:36 PM] Alexander Hayes added Barbara Dieu to this chat
[10:34:38 PM] Sue Waters says: What do you mean ?
[10:34:59 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Kim reckon’s that having a personal blog and a professional blog may be best
[10:35:13 PM] Sue Waters says: Personnally for me no blog
[10:35:33 PM] Alexander Hayes says: you have at least one that I know of Sue
[10:35:39 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Graham has many
[10:36:06 PM] Barbara Dieu says: good evening Alex…are you sure you wanted me here?
[10:36:14 PM] Alexander Hayes says: sure did Barbara
[10:36:17 PM] Graham Wegner says: well my contributions are all over the web
[10:36:26 PM] Graham Wegner says: hi barbara
[10:36:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: we are discussing Kim’s idea about whether oine blog is enough
[10:36:34 PM] Sue Waters says: Actually I have many…. but I wonder if any one ever reads them
[10:36:51 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I thought I had called you by mistake..chatting with someone else that’s why
[10:36:55 PM] Alexander Hayes says: they are indeed …..other’s comment fields could be seen as an extendion of one’s blog could they not
[10:37:01 PM] Barbara Dieu says: but will be with you in a second
[10:37:07 PM] Alexander Hayes says: not at all
[10:37:12 PM] Barbara Dieu says: hello graham and Sue
[10:37:20 PM] Sue Waters says: Hi Barbara
[10:37:22 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I’m intersted cause you are mashing blogs like mad lately
[10:37:25 PM] Graham Wegner says: they can be all pulled together using a tool like cocomment
[10:37:48 PM] Alexander Hayes says: or we could be seen to be contributing in one huge big blog
[10:37:55 PM] Alexander Hayes says: audio podcasting inlcuded
[10:38:11 PM] Sue Waters says: It would be good to have one large site
[10:38:23 PM] Alexander Hayes says: how big ?
[10:38:34 PM] Graham Wegner says: i admit i blog from a selfish point of view initially
[10:38:34 PM] Alexander Hayes says: one site that has all the tools integrated /
[10:38:42 PM] Alexander Hayes says: hehe
[10:38:47 PM] Graham Wegner says: the web
[10:38:46 PM] Barbara Dieu says: So..what’s up?
[10:39:05 PM] Barbara Dieu says: which tools do you need?
[10:39:10 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I blog cause I got the shits with the threded and closed loops that didnt link to anything except themself
[10:39:11 PM] Sue Waters says: I don’t know but do you find it totally overwhelming the number of blogs around and there is no way you can read it all — so you get overwhelmed by information
[10:39:45 PM] Sue Waters says: Yes I am thinking one good site with all tools better
[10:39:58 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I need all of them in one space but the ability to contribute to all others……or maybe less tools and more consideration for the micro content spaces in which I contribute
[10:40:02 PM] Graham Wegner says: I have learnt the art of ruthless skimming and of gathering a select group of
[10:40:07 PM] Graham Wegner says: Must
[10:40:09 PM] Graham Wegner says: Read
[10:40:10 PM] Graham Wegner says: Blogs
[10:40:24 PM] Graham Wegner says: sorry
[10:40:25 PM] Alexander Hayes says: uh huh
[10:40:33 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I RSS them all and then read them from time to time
[10:40:42 PM] Sue Waters says: but why read blogs when I can listen to podcasts and get more information
[10:40:44 PM] Barbara Dieu says: cannot keep up with all
[10:40:48 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Graham and I were speaking earlier of Sean’s cool idea of del.icio.us linkblogging
[10:40:52 PM] Alexander Hayes says: [9:37:26 PM] Graham Wegner says: So is Sean’s linkblog a collection of everything he contributes to on the web?
[9:38:49 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I guess so or perhaps that by treating the space as a place rather than what it was semantically geared topwards he’s pushing the domain of “blogging ” further
[9:39:34 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Sean also syndicates the script in del.icio.us to propogate into his wordpress entity which I imagine co-authors his SL bloghud
[10:41:19 PM] Graham Wegner says: ha - remixing a conversation for the benefit of newcomers
[10:41:20 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the concept of using the descriptive meta-data field ( if you will) as more of an uthoring space than a brief descriptor
[10:41:26 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I think the problem is time to read it all
[10:41:31 PM] Alexander Hayes says: but why read blogs when I can listen to podcasts and get more information
[10:41:41 PM] Sue Waters says: exactly
[10:41:42 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I never listen to podcasts
[10:41:48 PM] Alexander Hayes says: like Sue says here perhaps it’s about the medium’s
[10:41:49 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I fall asleep
[10:41:56 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I never read blogs
[10:41:58 PM] Alexander Hayes says: lol
[10:42:02 PM] Sue Waters says: not if you have to drive 50 minutes each way
[10:42:10 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I look for cool links and good pic’s
[10:42:13 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I prefer to listen to the radio
[10:42:13 PM] Sue Waters says: how can you never read blogs if you blog
[10:42:31 PM] Alexander Hayes says: fact is I have a ten minute rideon the bus to work and podcasts need to be snappy
[10:42:32 PM] Sue Waters says: After 2 hours of radio a day I would rather multitask
[10:42:36 PM] Barbara Dieu says: when I am in the car
[10:42:47 PM] Graham Wegner says: skim and then read the good stuff
[10:42:47 PM] Alexander Hayes says: is that an internet radio Barb ?
[10:42:55 PM] Sue Waters says: My point about the length of the podcast where is steph -
[10:42:58 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I like the unpredictability of the radio
[10:43:01 PM] Alexander Hayes says: ah - there’s that term again - skim
[10:43:04 PM] Graham Wegner says: podcasts are hard to fit into my day
[10:43:16 PM] Alexander Hayes says: sheesh - now that’s why I like you attitude Barbara
[10:43:20 PM] Sue Waters says: Yes but you miss the good stuff — take Anne Paterson’s blog
[10:43:24 PM] Alexander Hayes says: it’s like controlled hit and miss
[10:43:32 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I didnt miss it
[10:43:47 PM] Alexander Hayes says: she’ SMS’d me then I hear about it via a podcast
[10:44:09 PM] Sue Waters says: what the?
[10:44:13 PM] Graham Wegner says: and if you have a small group of must reads, they pick up the stuff you might miss because they are trusted nodes on your network
[10:44:36 PM] Alexander Hayes says: contributeparticipatelearn
[10:44:48 PM] Alexander Hayes says: sure do graham
[10:45:02 PM] Sue Waters says: Sorry I want all my informatio to the point - -
[10:45:03 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Bbrbara how many blogs do u have ?
[10:45:04 PM] Barbara Dieu says: although I am into blogging
[10:45:11 PM] Alexander Hayes says: also shows how unimportant gramma, spelling and punctuation are ultimately to communication
[10:00:14 PM] Alexander Hayes says: absolutcritically
[10:00:33 PM] Alexander Hayes says: we all need good mole rodels
[10:01:30 PM] Graham Wegner says: but the flipside is we are consciously mangling language while kids w/out the skills don’t have that awareness
[10:45:20 PM] Barbara Dieu says: blogging is not my primary occupation
[10:45:39 PM] Barbara Dieu says: so do not need to be that updated with the latest news
[10:45:48 PM] Alexander Hayes says: is it having an effect on the way we communicate or are we eolving as humans to acoomodate the change
[10:45:48 PM] Barbara Dieu says: just blog for myself really
[10:45:49 PM] Sue Waters says: What is your primary occupation?
[10:46:02 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I am a secondary school teacher for the time being
[10:46:03 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Artist
[10:46:12 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Graham …
[10:46:12 PM] Barbara Dieu says: almost retiring
[10:46:13 PM] Sue Waters says: Who is the artist
[10:46:19 PM] Alexander Hayes says: me
[10:46:20 PM] Graham Wegner says: primary school teacher and ict coordinator
[10:46:24 PM] Barbara Dieu says: then maybe I will take to blogging seriously
[10:46:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: then Educator
[10:46:38 PM] Alexander Hayes says: then Teacher
[10:46:42 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I have had millions of blogs
[10:46:47 PM] Alexander Hayes says: hehe
[10:46:48 PM] Sue Waters says: I personnally think you are or aren’t a blogger
[10:46:50 PM] Alexander Hayes says: love it
[10:46:51 PM] Barbara Dieu says: which I imported to my own intall of wordpress
[10:47:04 PM] Alexander Hayes says: how did they all go for u B ?
[10:47:13 PM] Barbara Dieu says: because I was fed up with chasing them around the web
[10:47:18 PM] Alexander Hayes says: looks like Sean’s done the same
[10:47:22 PM] Barbara Dieu says: it worked beautifully
[10:47:35 PM] Barbara Dieu says: but not for the pics or videos obviously
[10:47:45 PM] Barbara Dieu says: those which were hosted on blogger
[10:47:55 PM] Alexander Hayes says: but has it solved the issue for you
[10:48:01 PM] Barbara Dieu says: no pb with the ones on Flickr and direct links
[10:48:05 PM] Barbara Dieu says: so now I have two blogs
[10:48:12 PM] Graham Wegner says: see Leigh has purposely done the opposite and left blogs all over the place.
[10:48:17 PM] Barbara Dieu says: one personal wordpress personal install
[10:48:24 PM] Alexander Hayes says: are you not afraid that it will crash and people will be lrft with an expansive past and a narrow present ?
[10:48:25 PM] Barbara Dieu says: and one wordpress.com for the class
[10:48:40 PM] Barbara Dieu says: what will crash?
[10:48:47 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the primary site
[10:49:04 PM] Alexander Hayes says: could or did yopu leave them all pointing to the primary site ?
[10:49:15 PM] Barbara Dieu says: oh..if it does I will retrieve my posts in the internet archive wayback machine..lol
[10:49:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I’m intersted to know if Sue’s thought of how to spread the word
[10:49:50 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I left a post in every old blog saying I was moving the stuff over the new one
[10:49:52 PM] Alexander Hayes says: way way back
[10:49:54 PM] Barbara Dieu says: and linked
[10:50:02 PM] Sue Waters says: Podcasting
[10:50:03 PM] Graham Wegner says: don’t think wayback works for edublogs.org
[10:50:10 PM] Barbara Dieu says: why not?
[10:50:14 PM] Alexander Hayes says: ok so that covers that but missproffe is coming at it differently
[10:50:20 PM] Sue Waters says: I have the most hits and reputation from my podcast site
[10:50:22 PM] Alexander Hayes says: she’s speaking of the “voice”
[10:50:33 PM] Barbara Dieu says: oh..I have no voice whatsoever
[10:50:37 PM] Alexander Hayes says: of an educator and then sperstely from a personal perspective
[10:50:52 PM] Barbara Dieu says: as I said
[10:50:58 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I do not write for an audience
[10:51:00 PM] Alexander Hayes says: like one blog for school and then one for home
[10:51:03 PM] Sue Waters says: No one knew about the work we are doing until I started podcasting even though I have blogs and wikis
[10:51:07 PM] Alexander Hayes says: like never the twain shall meet
[10:51:22 PM] Alexander Hayes says: why’s that Sue ?
[10:51:43 PM] Alexander Hayes says: is that what happens with your blog creations at school Graham ?
[10:52:11 PM] Alexander Hayes says: oooh - reputation
[10:52:20 PM] Barbara Dieu says: http://lycee.wordpress.com is my school blog - there I just post for my stds as a way of modelling
[10:52:41 PM] Alexander Hayes says: good point Barbara - mole rodels
[10:53:07 PM] Barbara Dieu says: moles and rodents
[10:53:07 PM] Alexander Hayes says: imagine if the first things we started students with was del.icio.us
[10:53:20 PM] Barbara Dieu says: mine have opened an account
[10:53:21 PM] Graham Wegner says: yeah I don’t blog from school - that way if there was any issue I can say it was on my own time
[10:53:31 PM] Barbara Dieu says: but have not yet introduced them to it
[10:53:37 PM] Alexander Hayes says: and they were encoraged to “write” their story consecutively
[10:53:48 PM] Barbara Dieu says: their story?
[10:53:53 PM] Alexander Hayes says: using links and meta-matter
[10:54:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: research into a topic that began with a links that “spoke” of some content then the next link led to more elaborations on the point
[10:55:00 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I tend to look at people bookmark sites like blogs in themself now that Sean’s pointed it out
[10:55:01 PM] Graham Wegner says: with younger kids i think what is important is the chance to connect and communicate with others in other places on the globe - that’s what is impossible to do w/out technology
[10:55:22 PM] Barbara Dieu says: agree with you
[10:55:27 PM] Sue Waters says: Because maybe there are too many blogs and people can relate to the podcasts?>
[10:55:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I’ll tell you a story different;y
[10:55:44 PM] Barbara Dieu says: teens need other teens
[10:55:53 PM] Alexander Hayes says: my daughter made 1000 paper cranes and sent them to my sister by mail in Japan
[10:55:56 PM] Barbara Dieu says: podcasts for me are way too long
[10:56:06 PM] Barbara Dieu says: lovely
[10:56:13 PM] Alexander Hayes says: each paper crane was a “feeling” story….short prose on the inside
[10:56:17 PM] Sue Waters says: depoends on the podcast
[10:56:40 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I am not a good reference Sue
[10:56:55 PM] Alexander Hayes says: my sister sent back 1000 paper cranes with 1000 “feeling” stories from each student in her school
[10:57:02 PM] Barbara Dieu says: exchanging objects with meaning
[10:57:11 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I have done cultural capsules
[10:57:16 PM] Alexander Hayes says: total cost = $10 US
[10:57:16 PM] Barbara Dieu says: among schools
[10:57:18 PM] Barbara Dieu says: much fun
[10:57:31 PM] Alexander Hayes says: hey - now thats a good technology
[10:58:18 PM] Barbara Dieu says: with boxes full of local chewing gum, postcards, photos and stationery
[10:58:25 PM] Alexander Hayes says: verfy cool
[10:58:27 PM] Barbara Dieu says: but these cost me a bit more than 10 US
[10:58:34 PM] Graham Wegner says: what blogging does is create opportunities that I can leverage for my class potentially
[10:58:42 PM] Alexander Hayes says: perhaps we could think of something to send to our respective leatrners like Graham did
[10:58:58 PM] Graham Wegner says: what did i send?
[10:59:05 PM] Alexander Hayes says: images of students drawings of how mobile phones could be used
[10:59:08 PM] Alexander Hayes says: in class
[10:59:19 PM] Graham Wegner says: that’s right
[10:59:32 PM] Alexander Hayes says: as literacy tools
[10:59:45 PM] Barbara Dieu says: asking stds how technology could be used in class
[10:59:52 PM] Alexander Hayes says: they were pictures but sheesh they said so much
[10:59:53 PM] Barbara Dieu says: and asking them to draw it
[11:00:07 PM] Alexander Hayes says: could they be sent as cultural podcasts Suie
[11:00:14 PM] Alexander Hayes says: not racially specific
[11:00:29 PM] Alexander Hayes says: nor geographically specific
[11:00:34 PM] Barbara Dieu says: there was a nice cultural podcast exchange among stds
[11:00:44 PM] Barbara Dieu says: where they asked general cultural questions
[11:00:48 PM] Barbara Dieu says: and the others answered
[11:00:54 PM] Barbara Dieu says: according to their countries
[11:00:56 PM] Alexander Hayes says: could the same be done using a del.icio.us site ?
[11:01:03 PM] Barbara Dieu says: let me check the address
[11:01:26 PM] Alexander Hayes says: like a collaborative blog that many people can tag in and continue a story for eventual publication ?
[11:01:31 PM] Alexander Hayes says: cool
[11:01:40 PM] Barbara Dieu says: this exists already
[11:01:47 PM] Barbara Dieu says: in Spanish
[11:01:51 PM] Alexander Hayes says: wow
[11:01:55 PM] Barbara Dieu says: a friend of my son’s is behind it
[11:02:00 PM] Alexander Hayes says: show me so I can learn
[11:02:07 PM] Barbara Dieu says: a bit like borges garden of forking paths
[11:02:11 PM] Graham Wegner says: http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/93869.fdb66b7a6ce
[11:02:12 PM] Alexander Hayes says: have you heard of similar Sue ?
[11:02:20 PM] Barbara Dieu says: escribeme.org
[11:02:29 PM] Barbara Dieu says: http://escribeme.org
[11:02:44 PM] Barbara Dieu says: someone starts a story
[11:02:49 PM] Alexander Hayes says: fantastic - thanks Graham…there up!!!
[11:02:57 PM] Alexander Hayes says: how cool Barbara
[11:03:01 PM] Barbara Dieu says: the others contribute with a paragraph and vote for the best
[11:03:10 PM] Barbara Dieu says: then the story continues
[11:03:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: can we start something similar that links across many platforms
[11:05:16 PM] Alexander Hayes says: or sets the scene for debates which could be “seen ” and “heard” mixing synchron ous with a-synchronous
[11:05:25 PM] Alexander Hayes says: like this

[11:23:08 PM] Barbara Dieu says: but all the delicious accounts were opened because I did not know how to use tags
[11:23:13 PM] Sue Waters says: No lets record a podcast
[11:23:29 PM] Alexander Hayes says: or better still lets blog this and share it with missproffe
[11:23:38 PM] Alexander Hayes says: are you both up for it ?

[11:25:08 PM] Alexander Hayes says: http://alexanderhayesblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/missprofe-blogging-paradigm.html
[11:25:21 PM] Alexander Hayes says: nice quote
[11:25:29 PM] Barbara Dieu says: what writers of the past said
[11:25:56 PM] Barbara Dieu says: instead of reading again and again the same thing bloggers say
[11:26:10 PM] Alexander Hayes says: and of the future we write cognisant of the dissonance of the past and array of networked learning ecologies of the presnet
[11:26:43 PM] Barbara Dieu says: to tell you the truth
[11:26:56 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I will stop blogging about education altogether
[11:27:10 PM] Alexander Hayes says: we will never read the same things twice provided we listen to our own hearts and remember to take on full breath in and out at l;east once a day
[11:27:19 PM] Alexander Hayes says: that would be nice
[11:27:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I’ve been attempting that for a longtime
[11:28:24 PM] Alexander Hayes says: As long as teaching
[11:28:25 PM] Barbara Dieu says: who is missprofe?
[11:28:33 PM] Alexander Hayes says: is only a profession
[11:28:57 PM] Alexander Hayes says: http://missprofe.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/the-separation-of-professional-and-personal-space/#comment-253
[11:28:59 PM] Barbara Dieu says: derek in one of the many forums I have been participating in

[11:29:15 PM] Alexander Hayes says: , a means of livelehood
[11:29:17 PM] Sue Waters says: Why did Sean start with one really nice blog and then write short ones?
[11:29:20 PM] Barbara Dieu says: called fragments
[11:29:32 PM] Alexander Hayes says: and not a dedicated vocation
[11:29:36 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I thought that was a great idea for a presentation
[11:29:41 PM] Alexander Hayes says: then there is bound to be a wide gap
[11:29:53 PM] Alexander Hayes says: bewteen the world and ourselves
[11:30:16 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Krishnamurti 1895
[11:30:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: sure would be a good presentation
[11:30:30 PM] Barbara Dieu says: we’d better go out there and live the world
[11:30:37 PM] Alexander Hayes says: agreed
[11:30:43 PM] Alexander Hayes says: still there Sue ?
[11:30:46 PM] Sue Waters says: Yes
[11:30:54 PM] Barbara Dieu says: but then we are attracted to the fragments we see here

[11:31:46 PM] Alexander Hayes says: neither have I but thats not for me to decide
[11:31:49 PM] Barbara Dieu says: Alex loves capturing fragments
[11:32:06 PM] Alexander Hayes says: only for others to digest and live by
[11:32:21 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I googled my name yesterday
[11:32:25 PM] Alexander Hayes says: it makes for a cool view
[11:32:30 PM] Sue Waters says: However I now know why you did not want to talk!!! because you wanted to record our text!!!!!!!!! Because you are not a podcaster?
[11:32:34 PM] Barbara Dieu says: and found a lot of posts I had made to a group
[11:32:40 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I had forgotten about
[11:32:46 PM] Alexander Hayes says: and did you find yourself or something other that the machine understaood of you ?

[11:34:45 PM] Sue Waters says: missprofe this is not a real word!
[11:34:49 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I am better at typing than at talking
[11:35:07 PM] Alexander Hayes says: agreed - you can drink wine the same way I can though
[11:35:08 PM] Alexander Hayes says:
[11:35:22 PM] Barbara Dieu says: I usually drink the words
[11:35:53 PM] Barbara Dieu says: and when there are much too many swimming in my head I cry them out
[11:35:54 PM] Alexander Hayes says: and I cry and speak of ghosts and snow geese
[11:36:03 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I moblog them
[11:36:27 PM] Barbara Dieu says: maybe I need a mobile after all
[11:36:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: http://www.moblog.co.uk/blog/alexanderhayes
[11:36:46 PM] Sue Waters says: Forget the mobile then you have to talk to people

missprofe : Blogging Paradigms or e-Ciphering in Lagtime

February 21, 2007

The dilemna of having too many blogs has never really been an issue for me rather how to avoid treating them as my “book”.

I’ve got a zillion ways of saying the same thing however I’m discovering a little more of late on how to avoid the usual hiccups of stale air and petulance and it’s got me to thinking. This big page forces me to fill it. A Wordpress text field is even bigger.

The del.icio.us field is an interesting space though and Sean’s linkblog is a great example of how we could use this in an educational context. I’m liking his new blog mainly for it’s ‘core” value - one-stop.

It’s interesting also that the need for a bigger text field and the ultimate PLE still comes into play. It’s a bit like have set of Encyclopedia Brittanica’s and nowhere to burn them in……some much info. and yet so redundant in form until you think of content creatively.

Skype can be used to the same effect ……..

[9:31:20 PM] Alexander Hayes says: got a minute ?
[9:32:11 PM] Graham Wegner says: Yep.
[9:32:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: just wondering…..
[9:32:38 PM] Alexander Hayes says: how many blogs do you author too ?
[9:33:03 PM] Alexander Hayes says: have you seen Sean Fitgerald’s linkblog ?
[9:33:14 PM] Graham Wegner says: Just two - if you don’t count mApplications, where I’ve only contributed a handful of posts.
[9:33:31 PM] Graham Wegner says: No, haven’t seen Sean’s.
[9:33:34 PM] Alexander Hayes says: http://del.icio.us/seanfitz/mylinkblog
[9:33:45 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I like the idea
[9:33:57 PM] Graham Wegner says: just checking it now
[9:34:14 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the concept of using the descriptive meta-data field ( if you will) as more of an uthoring space than a brief descriptor
[9:34:31 PM] Graham Wegner says: just chatting to Tom Barrett in another window so excuse the delay in answers
[9:34:37 PM] Alexander Hayes says: kid of gives th YouTube movie of late some creedence
[9:34:42 PM] Alexander Hayes says: no worries
[9:35:13 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I’m blogging to three differing blogs, commenting on missprofe ( and you ) and Skyping with Sue Waters in WA
[9:35:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: and doing my tax
[9:35:32 PM] Graham Wegner says: ah, you’re a better mulittasker than me
[9:35:45 PM] Alexander Hayes says: nah
[9:35:52 PM] Graham Wegner says: Joanne just asked if I actually do any schoolwork on this laptop!
[9:36:29 PM] Alexander Hayes says: when you have more than one blog and a zillion authoring spaces you can begin semantically using authoring the net as a presence forum rather than a “book”
[9:37:03 PM] Alexander Hayes says: my boss Robyn’s on my work computer at the mo so I’m here blogging ( authoring ) via the LG
[9:37:26 PM] Graham Wegner says: So is Sean’s linkblog a collection of everything he contributes to on the web?
[9:38:49 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I guess so or perhaps that by treating the space as a place rather than what it was semantically geared topwards he’s pushing the domain of “blogging ” further
[9:39:34 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Sean also syndicates the script in del.icio.us to propogate into his wordpress entity which I imagine co-authors his SL bloghud
[9:41:07 PM] Graham Wegner says: I thought Sean pulled the plug on blogging - he did have an elgg account
[9:41:42 PM] Alexander Hayes says: he did and then found a better way of going about it…..how about this idea
[9:42:06 PM] Graham Wegner says: SL - boy, I struggle with that concept in the primary school.
[9:42:31 PM] Alexander Hayes says: set up kids with del.icio.us accounts FIRST, then get them to contribute to collaborative Flickr accounts only using screen snaps in SL
[9:43:04 PM] Alexander Hayes says: imagine the nexus between the virtual domain and the lack of immediate literacy ( text ) that would be demanded of the child
[9:43:05 PM] Graham Wegner says: wow - three filtered sites at once!
[9:43:30 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the need to descirbe things becomes less important
[9:43:52 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the filtering is a net-linking effect
[9:44:17 PM] Graham Wegner says: I think I’m lost now…
[9:44:41 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the social domain of del.icio.us is brought into the fore rather that swags of boring text and filler being used which frightens most of us (and the learners of course )
[9:45:18 PM] Alexander Hayes says: less text, more tagging, more localised research, more links - bigger communities
[9:45:37 PM] Graham Wegner says: the community is the big lure for anyone
[9:46:07 PM] Alexander Hayes says: sure is particularly when we can interact with them in multi-modality
[9:46:36 PM] Graham Wegner says: explain multi-modality to me pls
[9:46:44 PM] Alexander Hayes says: as an SL avatar, a del.iciou.us linkblogger, a Flickr citizen journalist
[9:47:01 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the platform is simply a means to an end
[9:47:16 PM] Alexander Hayes says: Flickr to document on the run and show the world reality
[9:47:34 PM] Graham Wegner says: like multiple identities but the same learner
[9:48:13 PM] Alexander Hayes says: or same identity , multiple learner
[9:48:19 PM] Alexander Hayes says: hey that sounds more like it
[9:48:31 PM] Graham Wegner says: that’s better
[9:48:38 PM] Alexander Hayes says: sure is
[9:48:41 PM] Alexander Hayes says: in fact
[9:48:48 PM] Alexander Hayes says: check this out
[9:48:53 PM] Alexander Hayes says: ready for it ?
[9:48:58 PM] Graham Wegner says: hey, your bed is booked at the Wegner hotel for Thurs 8th March.
[9:49:19 PM] Alexander Hayes says: wicked and thankyou
[9:49:28 PM] Alexander Hayes says: booking fares next payday
[9:49:47 PM] Alexander Hayes says: I think we’d better share this little convo.
[9:50:06 PM] Graham Wegner says: pardon?
[9:50:12 PM] Alexander Hayes says: it will complement what missprofe was speaking of
[9:50:45 PM] Alexander Hayes says: the link of hers at [edited]
[9:50:58 PM] Graham Wegner says: right
[9:51:10 PM] Graham Wegner says: She’s a pretty cool blog
[9:51:16 PM] Alexander Hayes says: absolutely
[9:51:38 PM] Alexander Hayes says: do I have permission to share our Skype blog with missprofe and the owrld at large ?
[9:51:46 PM] Alexander Hayes says: *world*
[9:51:56 PM] Graham Wegner says: i like that she’s a move away from the ict geek teacher crowd and more where blogging should be in education.
[9:52:05 PM] Graham Wegner says: which skype blog?

This one.

Greetings.

I’ve got issue here trying to import my Blogger posts into WP. I’m getting a failure notice which states ;

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /mounted-storage/

Any hints on how to rectify this issue ?

Cheers.

Aussie Culture : My Lebanese Family

February 19, 2007

I had the privilege of being invited to a family wedding on the weekend held in traditional Lebanese wedding style and form and I can only but say I was stunned with everything - the beauty, the generosity, the love and breadth of this amazing Aussie cultural event.

Hundreds of people, hundreds of kids.

The whole event really has got me thinking again about the beautiful ways in which Australian culture adopts, adapts to and grows with the many cultures of the world. I grew up in a narrow culturally lacking bigoted group of teenage thugs. To meet with men my own age and to think of the disastorous things that occured in the Shire in the early 80’s……..and then again in the not so distant dark past.

Such beauty…….such beautiful things have grown from times of angst and lack of understanding. I do hope our unions make for a strong nation and that we consider how to love one another and live with grace and with respect. My Blip.Tv account shows some of the amazing dancing I learnt at the leileya.

Only one event marred the night’s reception. Me. I objected to a racially motivated hate comment at my table and took the offending party outside and corrected the offender - verbally although my limits of dark Celt had been reached.

I must concentrate on beauty.

The sublime runs too deep.
