I'm normally picking fault with your spelling too.

His spelling is interesting, needs to engage brain before fingers more often

hehe. Fine I'm no saint either but

Monthly is best as well, as GD, my Computing and IT Weekly builds up and up, thats why I switched to electronic issues, download the PDF of them and then I can read them when I have time.

I think it's an excellent idea, could include sections on recent developments on important issues like BSF as it's always tricky to track down the right information on this. Perhaps a 'case study' type article if someone's carried out an interesting/different/groundbreaking project and want's the share the details with other people. Maybe things like recommendations on good practise, useful information like links to relevant sections of the BECTA site, stuff like that.

I'd more than happily write some contributions for it, I'm not too bad at writing articles (I hope!) mainly enjoy writing the 'how to' type articles as I did a lot of these for the intranet at my last place, but it depends on the sort of newsletter as to whether that sort of article is relevant.

Monthly for me, weekly and I'd end up ignoring them!

Case studies, and a day in the life of a different tech would be interesting, along with latest relevant news - software, hardware, policies, etc, etc (with policies, initiatives, etc, please bear in mind some of us are in Wales and we abide by the WAG not Mr Browns education bods

on the plus side it means no BSF

)

Evening Edugeek

As you all are aware i have been working on the new edugeek newsletter, It is ready to be relased now on the 1st.

I am just wondering if any one wishes to be added to a mailing list where i will email it direct to you rather then you downloading it off the site.

If you would like to be emailed the newsletter please post here or send me an email.

If you no longer wish to receive it by email after this month then just let me know and i will take you off.

Thanks

kKnd regards

James.

kiran · 30-07-2008, 07:30 PM

Sounds like a great idea - I'd like a copy please!

EduTech · 30-07-2008, 07:41 PM

No problem, Can you send me your email address please.. PM

That goes for anyone else. cheers

James.

Edu-IT · 30-07-2008, 10:28 PM

If you did then I did also. Perhaps the release date "slipped"? No probs if it did, we have most of us 'been there' at some point.

EduTech · 02-08-2008, 03:31 PM

Sorry guys, yea unfortunatly the relase date did slip.. :\ therres a few minor tweaks me n the admins have got to do before its released.

Sorry wont happen again
