This report came out at about 13:00 local time here in Shanghai. Australia’s “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin dies By 14:30 it was the talk of the school. Sad to hear for most of our students grew up on the Crocodile Hunter.
My Flickr Map
OK, this could be dangerous! I went through and geo tagged some of my pictures of Shanghai on my flickr map. Way to much fun trying to find the buildings and such. This map is REALLY old. Not sure how old, but our apartment is a construction zone and it was built in 2001, so at least that old. My […]

I had the Vice Principal approach me last week about Moodle. She’d been hearing the buzy from the faculty who have been using it and wanted to learn more about it.

ItÂ’s why I try not to use that word, and urge others […]

Last weekend in a period of 5 hours I had over 200 spam comments. So I quickly searched for a WordPress plug in […]
Transition Techies
Graham Wegner left a comment on a posting the other day, and like I try to do with everyone that leaves a comment I visited his blog to see what he’s talking about. After almost a year of being in the edublogosphere it still amazes me how few blogs I know about which is why I’m promoting the use of […]

Because […]
