Homeless in the New Year
Just read that Eduspaces is to close in the New Year – bummer.
I’ve been using ELGG for about a year for individual group projects and have been using the main site since then (but started using it properly in September).
There’s a load of content up there and some really interesting things that people are sharing. So what’s going to happen – we need a rescue mission, otherwise there will be a flood of educators and students looking for a community blogspace.
I’m hoping help will arrive, but I’m going to back up my content just in case.

And I’m trying to drum up support for a friend’s rude punk band on MySpace too.). Read more

Pimping the Press
Been mucking about updating my Wordpress to see if it can become a base for a personal learning environment, good stuff from Graham Atwell (this is his categories section).
Another interesting take on this from The Ed Techie – well worth a look as it takes the idea of personal learning environments in a different way.
