This ediary started
in 98 which was supposed to be the year of the UK Grid for Learning,
the year that UK education went online. I thought it might be an idea
to keep an online diary of how it went. Over time it has fallen into
disrepair as I was ill for a long period at the beginning of 2000. The
ediary is restarting but may well have lost some interest in the UK
Grid for Learning. We shall see.
I am the Head of Art in a Middle School in a seaside town in Suffolk
on the very east coast of the UK. It is a very rural part of the world
with not a lot of industry, some tourism and not a great deal else.
I have developed an interest in making web pages and I am interested
in teaching ICT and the Web to kids. They might find it comes in handy.
Nobody really knows how to teach it as yet. It's wide open.
When the politicians talk about the coming technological and communications
revolution which they want schools to embrace then they mean they want
folks like me and my friends here are to sort it all out. So this is
a diary from the pointy end of the technological education revolution.
Might be interesting. PC 19.11.00
