Discovering Podcasts

I have been aware of them for a while, but until I went away and actually listened to the dozen or so I had collected, I really had no appreciation for podcasting. It is a very cool thing though and tonight I have tried to find them but found it a bit difficult. It seems I have to stumble upon them as I did with the two I mentioned in my last post.

But I did find this Yahoo! Podcasts and whilst I haven’t fully explored it yet, it looks like a very good starting point, so I thought I would put the link here. If I find anything really good specifically I will mention it here.

The ABC website have lots too and I listened to a couple of Triple J ones as well as listening to New Dimensions (can’t download though) and The Book Show. I love the ABC website.

Fresh Start

I have started afresh with my blogging. I deleted the other three sites I have been playing with. This one wins. I don’t need to scatter my energies into four directions. I have a separate blog for work. That is enough! I have been playing with different templates and things though so you can expect to see something new and creative and wonderful template-wise shortly.
Technology is cool and fun. I’m enjoying playing with it. I want to keep it all together now though and not scatter my energies. I have also had some learning experiences recently about reading the fine print online. I have made some mistakes. Correction time!

Webquest Progressing well…

Today I went into school, yes, on a public holiday and completed the webquest. I feel  happy about that. It is ready for the students to begin tomorrow. There are still a couple of finishing touches we need to make but I am rapt. I really wanted to do that webquest, but I just didn’t really want to do it in my own time.

The thing is with most of these projects, the only time there is to do them is your own time, so I had to just make the sacrifice. It wasn’t so bad and I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment now. I am glad I agreed to do it. I am also pleased I finished the tiling. Perhaps in some way it helped me to finish the webquest. The completion energy rose from finishing things I wanted to do or some such thing.maybe…
