This week's show sees me in conversation with Joe Dale, Lead Practitioner and teacher at Nodehill Middle School on the Isle of Wight. 

We discuss:  benefits of interviewing colleagues even when you lose the audio; who Joe is reading/listening to and why; influences on his practice; interviews and discussions between Joe and innovative practitioners; developments in blogging and podcasting; sustainability of blogs; primary languages blogs in Scotland; sharing of best practice; training needs in England; whether there could there be an English aggregator similar to ScotEduBlogs; the Softease Podcast solution; is Scottish education leading the way, or is it that there are a few good innovators; the potential of an unconference in England; podcast directories full of languages stuff; good cross-curricular practice; the resourcing situation in UK and the road forward; Wikis in education; starting points for teachers interested in new technology; and future technology opportunities in the classroom.

In this week's show, I discuss:  my new HP iPAQ PDA and some ways that Pocket PCs could be used with my class; the new social web phenomema, Twitter, and it's potential use within a 'community of practice'; a bank of German revision podcasts; and a few useful tools and news items.
