Well it seems that wp-supercache wasn’t working as its supposed to leading to commenters seeing very old versions of some blogs so it’s been disabled again on Classroom Displays.
Sorry if this led to a wrong impression as to how often Classroom Displays is updated
September is a busy month on the classroom displays blog with a new school year starting up. The number of people joining the flickr group and uploading pictures of their displays has grown from strength to strength in recent months.
With the technical setup ready and waiting, and some great content being added the time to announce the existence of usefulwiki.com to the world arrived in October.
First there was the Reinventing_Project-based_Learning book launch at a conference which Linda attended via skype, then an article written for Sharing best Practice by Linda which has caused a splash of interest. There have also been twitters and blogs, and some URL truncators from the Classroom Displays blog which is now piped into various LEA intranets.
Perhaps the most significant news for usefulwiki is that Linda is running a series of training courses for Teaching Assistants and putting all of her course notes on the wiki where students can access them between attendances at the LEA centre. This is what is called “eating our own dogfood”!
Thanks also to Geoff Dellow for creating the Recommended software for education page, which then inspired a Primary ICT page, which now needs to be completed together with one for secondary ICT. And so we begin to build, page by page, contact by contact.
