First TallisLab lesson
It’s my first one today and I’m so looking forward!!! Hearing and reading all the positive comments can really motivate you and I can’t wait what will my lot come up with…
update later in the day…
today is moby!!!
This CD lives in my car - great for lifting you up or just keeping you on the high (that’s me now! :-)
highly recommended…
Song’s called ‘Run On (for a long time)’ - one of many great ones from this album.
I was given his CD a few years ago by my kayaking friend and as with everything else I’ve got my ups and downs with it - I’m either addicted to it or...
forgetting knowledge
“It is often argued that schools operate with a ‘banking’ view of knowledge in which knowledge is ‘deposited’ in students’ minds; much of this knowledge never gets used and, since it is not meaningfully connected with students’ experiences, is quickly forgotten.” (Paulo Friera ‘Pedagogy of the Oppressed’ taken from Enquiring Minds doc. )
Scary how true this is, even more...
painting colours...
Back in school! Gosh, you will think I’m crazy or a workaholic but if I was given canvas today to play with it would be covered in bright yellow with odd splashes of red.
Today is YELLOW and RED!!!
I’m mad but I love the buzz the school gives me - is it THIS school? Yes, definitely! It just feeds me with so much energy - I truly must be mad ;-)
Back to school!
OK, so this is it - back in school tomorrow.
I’m so not ready but trying not to panic. There is so much to be done but to be fair I think I’ve managed to put quite a bit together during this break although there is never enough time - frustrating!
Time to get some rest now…
Climate Change Camp - Blackheath Aug'09

voki
and here comes my first Voki:
Oh! the GoAnimate My Hero
I’ve managed to link it nicely with my tumblr (thanks to simon again) so you can have a look at the outcomes of my nighttime creativity… :-)
commenting and GoAnimate
So, I’ve spent a couple of hours driving Simon mad trying to solve the problem of not being able to add comments to my blog, actually adding a visible link to it so whoever is willing to comment can easily find this silly link highlighted in red!
Simon wasn’t very cooperative today and communication with him wasn’t the easiest ever so it took us a while to figure out where the...

DSC celebration movie disaster!
Also I had a very strange problem with one of my movies - DSC’s 10th Anniversary Celebration. The event was organized in October 2007 - the year I joined Tallis - and as I wasn’t involved in planning and delivering the whole performance I decided to take a few photos with Robert’s help. Macs weren’t in my life then so I used Windows Movie Maker to create a simple slideshow...
playing with Voki
I’ve tried to use the Voki site today and it’s really easy although I wasn’t able to link it with my website - have not figured out yet what I was doing wrong.
One attempt is (as it clearly shows) not enough - and because it’s getting really late I will leave if for now and start again tomorrow, probably fresher as I’m trying to get back into a habit of swimming in...
Trying to find myself in it
OK, I missed the inset day due to a First Aid course (?!), rushed out of school to entertain visiting family and friends. In total the invasion lasted for almost 2 months! Now I’m free to learn but who from? Gosh, I’m quite useless in following insructions on the website, desperately need the personal interaction I’m lacking here so… we will see how far I get.Wish me Good...
