The Bazaar weekly recommendations

July 24th, 2006

This week we are going to highlight a couple of excellent resources, one is an individual who is doing some pioneering work with open source in UK schools and the second is an interactive resource.

Miles Berry

Miles Berry is a strong advocate for the use of Moodle and Elgg in schools within the UK. He is a rare breed in that he talks about it but also eats his own dog food. If you are currently looking at the various technology options for your school, I would recommend his blog as a good starting place.

About Miles

Miles blog - the most recent entries have been a round up of the Flossie conference.

Here is an excellent presentation to get started: Moodle, Elgg and the e-strategy (pdf)

WorldBridges

This weeks star resource is WorldBridges and in particular their flagship service, edtechtalk.

Edtechtalk is packed full of interesting interviews, discussions, arguments and reviews. It will take you some time to wade through all the broadcasts but it is well worth it. Many of the most influential thinkers in the space of education and technology have presented on the show.

There is a good review of Worldbridges on the WebheadsinAction.org site: What is Worldbridges?
