With the release of the new Iphone I was wondering if Telstra would come to the party and not screw users with high prices but true to form Telstra again charged like a wounded bull. The data pack prices mean if you do get an Iphone you will be to scared to use it on the net. It’s sad that our biggest telco makes it so hard for people to get connected. If you don’t beleive me go take a look for yourself.

Lively was a network of avatars and virtual rooms created and decorated by its users. Google launched Lively on July 8, 2008 as an experiment in providing people with more ways to express themselves on the Web.
Lively’s users created thousands of cafes, bars, discos, tropical islands, treehouses, space stations, galleries, bedrooms and more. Lively’s users shared their rooms with people from all over the real world, meeting and chatting with each other via their customized avatars.
The experiment ended December 31, 2008
As you can see from the above quote taken from the Google Lively site the experiment has come to an end. I am sorry to see it go as I thought Lively had promise and I hoped to use it as part of my elearning projects… Continue reading

Delicious is a social book marking tool, you can add your favourite bookmarks to it and then either share them with others or access them for any computer that has net access. If you want to use delicious as a resource and share the bookmarks with your students you can use a tag or tags to designate which bookmarks relate to your class. For example I recently completed my Certificate IV in TAA if I was the trainer I could tag all my bookmarks like this “TAA2008″
Any of the students who then visited the site could search for all the class related bookmarks by clicking on the TAA2008 tag. By doing this you don’t have to create additional accounts but can keep all your bookmarks under one delicious account. You… Continue reading
Today I created a Twitterfeed account and added my Blog and Moodle site. What is supposed to happen is when I post to either site it will also be fed to Twitter. Will see what happens. Using feeds means you add content to a lot of sites without having to visit them individually…
