Right, keep on keeping on

So, I was thinking about some of the difficulties I'm having with my classes at the moment. Why are they ... oh, this is probably not the place for that. But I did think about solutions ... and one which I keep coming back to is to keep in touch with those that have gone before me in the online teaching / blended teaching idea.

And so, I sought out courses taught by traditional Universities and found Queen's University's Con Ed AQ link is here.

Cost is always a factor for me. Which is nice, because at least Queens puts the cost on their page. Lesley University, however, more or less made it impossible for me to find anything out about cost. Poking around that website was frustrating... How frustrating? I'm not even going to link it here, that's how frustrating it was.


and then, later still, I saw this app for making your own books .... which can then be read and sent around using iBooks...

Book Creator for the iPad from Red Jumper Studio on Vimeo.


Oh, now that opens up a can of worms for me - the guy who used to be called "Mr Photocopier"... I wonder if there are Creative Commons / copyright free stories that are any good for use in a regular high school ... hmmmm
