Hi Sam,

With your work in Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

Thanks for the heartening comment Sam. As HOD Tech you may understand how we classroom teachers are such pains. Kids climbing the walls and the teacher muttering...oh! it's the plug.
(Been in that situation with others) Very Grass Roots....which is another exciting thing. Will enjoy watching the developments of the Horizon 2008 that you are doing. Cheers....'n I like the page!

Hi Sam
I recognised your picture from the ASD conference - you see so many people during the 3 days. I did have the chance to speak with Julie and Beverley ( briefly) . I love your comment about the tech. staff _ coming from a business computing background into education some 12 years ago, the tech . staff are our backbone, but rarely recognized.

ASB Unplugged-Mumbai-Final Thoughts

After 4 days and many workshops at ASB Unplugged, one inescapable direction emerges. Movement toward a one to one computing environment is inevitable and it’s only a question of "how long" and not "if"it should happen. To quote the keynote speaker, Scott McLeod, “Taking a pencil away from a child will soon be the equivalent to not allowing laptops in the classroom.”

We have a golden opportunity at QA to distinguish ourselves as the premiere technical literacyschool in the region by moving to a… Continue

In the Sub-basement in Mumbai

Here I am with the technical group at ASB Unplugged. It is standard to stick this group as far as possible below ground. But, the technical people at ASB are soooooo skilled. They are knowledgeable and responsive. They are the core of support that makes the laptop project at this school work. They have set up a very robust network with well tested equipment. EVERYTHING WORKS (although with so many teachers at the conference we overwhelm some of their nodes).
We got to see the ASB students in act… Continue
