Though little research indicates how we can upgrade our traditional exams with newly educational technologies, taking the advantages of Internet really will change any traditional ways. That's what we expect from Exam 2.0: the efficient solution to host exams anywhere anytime. Transferring traditional exams to online exams at Quiz Paradise (Test maker, Flash quiz creator to make online tests, quizzes and assessments) will help teachers or trainers a lot, from making interactive quizzes and tests
So, I'm an avid music fan (understatement) and I own a PS3. Putting these two facts together mean I naturally like a certain type of game - Singstar and Rock Band. I'm counting the days till the release of Guitar Hero World Tour.
My PS3 has a 40Gb hard disk that must be getting quite full now with all the songs have been downloading for the aforementioned games. So next spring I plan to get a 500Gb hard drive and a PlayTV tuner.
The PS3 will become my complete media center. Music/Vid
Last night, 111 people (mostly kids, a couple of members of staff) took part in the 2008 'Thrill the World' record attempt for the largest number of simultaneous people dancing the 'Thriller' dance.
Overall, there were more then 3,700 people dancing around the world, in the USA, Canada, Germany, Ireland and many more.
If anyone is interested in seeing our school do the dance, take a look at the youtube video:

I've been thinking lately about school phone usage and wondering why we aren't moving to VOIP in schools.
For example, at the moment, if we wish to call our LEA or a local school, we have to dial out via a PSTN line and pay a call charge. Whilst at the same time we have a perfectly usable high quality fibre-optic internet connection. Surely introducing a VOIP phone system across schools would be fairly simple - I could outfit all our local schools with suitable Asterisk based systems for less
They say thing come in 3s but at the moment its not stopping. After a hard week of updating joomla package and testing it I recived some emails asking me to pay to install the package that sysman created and I updated and wanted £500 to do it. As well as that got a couple of other emails telling me that I can use there package for comurtial gain and I needed to remove them I know feel like crap. Ok so thats that sorted next to relax at home with laptop (brand new) and oh dear what a bugger the h
I have been feeling better and am getting back to my old self as far as possable. I hope to have new joomla package posted soon and have some nice new packages. Also looking into a joomla moodle so they are one to go alongeside the edugeek moodle package. I have just got to talk to the project manage but I wonder how much time it will take.
At the SLF (BETT for scotland) and thought I would post if there is anything imteresting (which I doubt). It's so much smaller then BETT and appears to be more teacher focused then technical but it's early yet.
At an exclusive product unveiling today (just 3 months since the last iPod hit the shelves), Steve Jobs of Apple announced they have developed and are about to release the smallest iPod to date. The iPod Grain, as the name implies, is about the size of a grain of sand. The new addition to the music player line-up from the Jesus Phone maker comes with a non-expandable 1TB of flash memory for all your songs.
Speaking of songs, the Grain exclusively plays formats in Apple's proprietary format to
Although online tests have helped access learning in an easy yet smart way, teachers still need an efficient solution to get more values from these test results.
September 5th, 2008 - In order to measure students' learning in a flexible approach, many teachers have successfully incorporated online tests and exams in classroom with modern educational technologies. Afterwards teachers would obtain all test items and responses in detail, and generate analysis report of scoring statistics for ef
Ok nearly time to go back and I am fed up spent most of my time at doctors hospital and in bed. I hate feeling ill but hay back to work soon that should take my mind off things. Looks like I could have a couple more opps on knees but its if i want to take a risk. feel like i should put it to a vote on the fourms that would be fun. So why did you pt for the operation doc says I reply because edugeek said i should lmfao. Well lets hope that it gets better of if not better no worse.
Unfortunatly I go back to school next week, do I want to go back? NO! Sure if I never went back I wouldn't see my friends but I haven't actually missed any of this holiday.
For online training instructors, creating meaningful performance assessments for online training is a critical issue.
Nowadays, most online training instructors like to evaluate what learners learnt during the learning process through traditional summative evaluation. However, this assessment approach needs to be changed, as it only considers final learning outcomes without considering the learning process of learners. Actually, learning performance can be tracked by related online assessmen
I do have a blog out in the wild, but thought I'd post here.
Just a quick intro.
I don't currently work in IT, but hopefully that's going to change.
Just completed a 3 month assignment as an Office Admin.
Many moons ago I did do part time IT support, however not on a formal help desk, so not really had any exposure to Active Directory and bashing users over the head with a keyboard because they've forgotten their passwords. Only joking, wouldn't want to put off any potential employer
The pedigree is stunning, but Dawkins exhibits an intelligence below average in his reasoning.
When face to face with the leader of the church he has just spent 5 minutes describing as blocking the display of 3 million year old bones, the leader clearly states that his only problem with the exhibition is it's portrayal of the artifact in a biased way towards evolution theory. Even with the benefit of editorial after sight it seems Dawkins isn't very wise.
In conclusion to the program, Dawk
So, as some of you may or may not know, I recently gave up the glamourous world of educational IT to go and work for a real company, with real computers for real money and everything.
Shaun (ZeroHour to you) suggested it’d be a cool idea for me to blog about my experiences, and being the slacker I am, I’ve only just got round to it.
So, here it is, Mike’s glorious adventures in business, and joining the rest of the happy smiley commuters on the short trip up to London.
And by ‘happy smi

Its past midnight, and the EduGeek pixies have been beavering away to get us back up and running. I shall post more about exactly what went on later, but in the mean time I would like to thank all of you guys and gals for being patient, using the shoutbox, and for the ones who sent a mail to Fasthosts we've got something special lined up for you.
Thanks to Shaun (ZeroHour) for working his bits off contacting Fasthosts and generally being the best webmaster we could ever wish for.

I have joined up on Squidoo.com and I have to say that I am now hooked! So, far I have created five lenses, some of which are:

Oh joy exams all this week, luckily I do BTEC ICT so we have no Exam for that which is excellent as I would proably get annoyed by answering questions such as "Name an email application" and "What do you use Microsoft Word for?"
At least I have study leave
So, everyone have fun at work and wish me luck!
Hey all
Yes yes a bit of sales work never harmed anyone, but i work for LP+.
Is there any schools in the UK on here looking into learning platforms and would you like to know more?
Dust Bunnies, my own private war, a war waged unseen by the staff or pupils of the school. Vastly outnumbered I am left to wage war on these often unseen and unnoticed foes. They seem native so the school, appearing from out of nowhere and colonizing the cooling components of computers and switches throughout the site. Once there they breed, quietly waiting and building up their number biding their time waiting for the opportunity to rise up against us.

The costs of this war
