Thanks Mark, I haven't come across the cccp. I'll give it a go and recommend it to schools if it works well. cheers

Hi Mark, I would also pick a netbook over an ipod. The ipod is a great device but the netbook allows for so many more rich applications as well as an easy way to input text etc.

Mark - if I were a student, I'd choose a netbook. However, if I'm roving around a classroom, making observations, seeing who's up to what, who needs assistance, perhaps as a teacher an iPod touch might be good as I rove around...

WMM is great value for the price! Codecs are normally the issue though. Try the combined Community Codec pack http://www.cccp-project.net/ and most codec issues on a pc will disappear! The flip cam codec is on the camera and normally fixes all the i…

Rob- If you had to choose.......which would you prefer in the classroom- an ipod touch or a netbook?
November 10
Hi Rob, iPod touches are awesome devices: great mp3 players, great mobile browsers, an ok video player, great UI and thousands of apps!!! Ok so you don't need 10,000 flash lights or a Luke Skywalker lightsaber but there are an enormous amount of gam…

I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I've just bought an iPod touch on the weekend, so can listen to all that Jamendo music I'm downloading for free (and legally, too, before you judge me) as well as filling it with great podcasts such as tech ta…

Making Me Nervous

I feel I'm a constant disappointment to people sometimes. For example, being an Ultranet coach, people expect me to be interested in and capable of fixing technical problems. Sadly for these people, my version of solving technical problems looks at little like this:

Speranza

If it weren't obvious from my writing and physique, you should know that I love food. And there aren't many foods I love more than pizza. Indeed, on a recent trip to Italy, I visited my favourite pizzerias.


Pizzeria Spera, Florence

Artificial Sun

In a former life, I used to be a research scientist. I gained by PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Queensland. The title of my thesis was "Molecular Characteristics of Agonists and Antagonists of two G Protein-Coupled Receptors", and I would highly recommend reading it if you suffer from insomnia.

I rarely miss being a research scientist. Becoming a teacher was one of the more intelligent decisions I've made in my life, for a whole number of re… Continue

Ultranet team - I salute you!

One of the pleasures of doing this job has been the opportunity to work with my fellow Ultranet coaches in the Loddon Mallee. If you didn't know, they are:

This amusement never ends

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I managed to get away to Hobart for a week. We stayed in beautiful Battery Point. I love Battery Point because it represents a rare urban form in Australia - mixed use. Between houses and flats are cafes, pubs, restaurants, and many other things that make living in a city worthwhile.

Indeed, I have a bit of a 'thing' for living within walking distance of amenities. We chose where we live in Bendigo based on being able to walk to pretty much everything. Aside… Continue

Rob,
How much did you pay for that comment? I'll double it for a better one from an SMSN school ;)
