This image has nothing to do with education, but I loved it and wanted to try uploading something to my blog from flickr.

Have a look at this picture

This one I found using tag galaxy, it was a lot of fun, and could waste a lot of time fiddling but am trying to stay on task and cram a recommended 12 hours of study into 6 hrs...FOCUS!!!

Image Manipulation

This time using http://www.befunky.com/...another way to loose a couple of hours!  The kids are going to love this one.  Would be a great technique to use for art projects.

So today has presented another steep learning curve, a jumble of new but fascinating techniques all of which would be a fantastic resource for the classroom.

Podcasts/Audio

It took me a while but I now realise a podcast cannot be directly uploaded to a Blog space. Another hour of exploration!  So once I figured that out I made an attempt at a recording using my mobile phone using voice recorder, which I then emailed to myself, which I then uploaded to my wiki, which I then linked to my Blog....there has got to be an easier way, but this is how I did it! 

Please listen to my podcast here

An interesting podcast from the ABC on education and its changing needs can be found here. Havn't managed to download it to itunes yet, but am out of time this week!
