[ In reply to weblog entry: "Web 2.0 Slam - Performing Innovative Practice", by GrahamAttwell, 05-September-2007]


I just discovered a friendly new website called Photoshoptutorials.dk which tracks the latest tutorials from around the internet, and provides you with a single source to find and use tutorials. http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk

Researching BBC programs of the 1950s-1960s

[ In reply to weblog entry: "Ask me a question!", by GrahamAttwell, 29-January-2007]


I know this may not be the appropriate site for this question, but this is the closest I can find. Is there a website where I can research BBC UK radio programs of the 1950s-1960s? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks !

Describing Learning

Graham Attwell describes a video about John Heron's work Six Dimensions of Facilitator Style.

[ In reply to weblog entry: "Describing Learning", by GrahamAttwell, 04-January-2007]


I am resending my first comment which seems to have gone astray. Alas I cannot view the video and will attempt with a Windows computer (I use Linux). I am pleased to see that John's work is continuing, since the Human Potential Research Project/Group's workshop programme was closed. I must correct the attribution to me - I was the Director of the HPRP for a while and did run the Facilitator Styles course validated by the Institute for the Development of Human Potential which was a 2 year programme based on the model. It is quite a splendid model, comprehensive and flexible, accommodating a huge range of types of group. I used it myself and taught the model over many years, having also attended John's 2 year training, amongst others. I am currently updating my web pages at http://www.kilty.demon.co.uk/hprp.htm with a few pages on the model. I wish you all well in your efforts to apply it.

Graham Attwell summariseses John Heron's Six Dimensions of Facilitaor Style

There seems to be a 7th added: Prescriptive-descriptive which seems to be a misunderstanding. I will be happy to correspond with anyone about the scheme.

Wales Wide Web has moved

The Wales Wide Web has moved to www.pontydysgu.org/blogs/waleswideweb

[ Weblog entry in "The Wales-Wide Web"]


On 2 December 2003 I wrote "Blogs should have a significant starting point. Mike Malloch from Knownet set me up this blog over a week ago. And I have spent a week trying to think of something significant to start with. What could be better than Werder Bremen going into the winter break top of the Bundesliga."

Some 560 blog posts on Werder Bremen are alas only in second place in the Bundesliga. But we beat Lazio Roma in the Champions League on Wednesday. And that, I think, is significant event enough for launching the Wales Wide Web at its new home on the Pontydysgu web site.

Why the move? When I started the blog I was working part time for Knownet. However soem two years later we parted tracks. I wanted to refocus my work on the pedagogic application of new technologies. I left the blog on the Knownet site. And indeed Mike and the others from the Knownet crew have been good to me over the years, sorting out the occasional bug and fixinfg the site when I have pasted goobledygook code into my posts. A big thanks to them all.

But the time has come to move on. Pontydysgu - for whom I now work full time - have a new and exciting web site. And moving over to the new site will allow me more room to experiment with the design and functionality of the blog. Plus, over the last six months, I have become increasingly fond of Wordpress. I will be adding the 560 or so back posts from this site to the new Wales Wide Web home.. But it may take a couple of weeks. So please be patient. And next week I promise you a positive flurry of goodies.

If you have a blogroll link to the Wales Wide Web please change this to www.pontydysgu.org/blogs/waleswideweb

Look forward to talking to you.

Emerging Mondays - Edupunk - Sounds of Bazaar LIVE

July 04, 2008

What is Edupunk? Stephen Downes offers a definition: "edupunk is student-centered, resourceful, teacher- or community-created rather than corporate-sourced, and underwritten by a progressive political stance." And an anonymous commentator on his post says: "I can't think of anything more punk than education. For the student, learning gives power to the individual. A society full of mindless ...
