hi Terry's web 2 booklet refers to flickr, podcasting,

Hi David,

thanks for the mention - a few links if anyone finds them useful:

First is a podcast of my part at the recent Guardian conference on  
Podcasting:

Second, here's the link to the blog that one of our pupils is running:
http://www.amytoys.blogspot.com/
(please remember that this genuinely is a pupil with severe learning  
difficulties, blogging independently. What does this tell us about our  
current view of learning difficulties?)

And lastly, here's the part of my website where I've put together some  
reflections on work on podcasting with our pupils. Main point here is  
not the technology but the support for communication development /  
speech and language therapy.

Most important of these is to check out Amy's blog. Please leave a  
comment, and encourage others to do so too. For me this is the most  
powerful opportunity of this idea of 'Web 2.0'. It not only simplifies  
the process of making and sharing things we make with or for our  
pupils, but more importantly it provides easy ways for our pupils to  
get feedback and peer review.
The problem is the risk of unacceptable comments, and I think this is  
where learning platforms offer so much if we can get the product  
right. While we're struggling at the moment to get anyone to add  
comments at all to Amy's blog that's out there in the 'wild', if we  
were to be successful then sooner or later some crank is going to post  
something objectionable. But with a learning platform we can create a  
community of local peers and family/friends, and expand that based on  
sensible choices (or at least that's how I think it should work!).

If anyone wants to set up a new thread about learning platforms and  
suitable built in tools for those with special needs then I'd be most  
interested to follow and contribute.

Best for now,
