Asus EeePC: take a peek inside...

Over at Connected Live we've posted a video of our tour around the magic Asus EeePC, which I talked about on Monday. Go over and have a peek at what might be in store in a school near you (think social media, ultra portable, wifi-enabled and open source technology...)

Edublog Awards Nominated I don't normally go in for competitions, so it's rather nice to be nominated for 'Best Individual Blog' at the Edublog Awards. Better still, is to see that there are two nominations from Scotland, the other for Don Ledingham, the Head of Education in East Lothian with whom I have had the pleasure of working for the past year or...
