Transformation: making a ruckus
Nas was rapping about ‘tvs in the headrests’ back in the mid 90’s. Fast forward to the present and a bunch of trains now have tvs in the headrests.
The only problem is they have introduced them at a time when nearly all new mobile devices provide the same service without the cost. I have yet to see anybody not using their own mobile device and using the train tv service.
Reminds me of those kiosks in the high street.
Me, Gavin Brockis and James Clay spoke this week on the subject of ‘Screencasting’ for the podcast series e-learning stuff podcast episode #66.
My local Council launches a number of free wi-fi hotspots tomorrow.
Some of which are in local libraries, which I think is a great way to encourage folk to visit – i know i’ll be taking advantage of this.
A few weeks ago James Clay and I spoke about the recent release of some e-learning related documents, most of which I wrote. He recorded the conversation as part of his “e-learning stuff podcast”.
Hear me in episode #61 talk about the relationship technology and pedagogy, mobile learning and a host of other “stuff”.
Thank you James.

In episode #21 of the excellent Big Web Show, Dan Benjamin and Jeffrey Zeldman interview each other.
Both of these guys have been inspirational to me for years and it is good to hear them talk about their careers. Also the idea of interviewing each other is a nice one (normally they interview other folk in the web industry).
If you are looking for a new podcast show that covers a wide range of topics and people then look no further.
For every element that is not amongst the raw content and that you decide to include in the design, ask yourself: what is its purpose? What is this element representative of and how does that enhance the content, the context, or the message?

Nice post on the ‘transformation’ stage we are in regarding the use of technology in the classroom that is used by the students before, during and post classroom session.

A web service that allows you to quickly knock together a site for your upcoming events without much hassle. Currently in a limited testing phase that I have been happy to test and give my two pennies to.
My first impressions are nothing but positive – quick, easy and one assumes affordable (?!) service that covers all of the essentials for those on a budget and/or limited resources who don’t need a complicated bespoke event site. I managed to build an event site in minutes.
I identified some initial niggles which I have fed back to the team which I am sure were already on their list.
I look forward to the upcoming updates and then the launch which can’t be far away.
