In this week's show, I discuss: my recent uses of social software in the classroom, including Flickr; how the class Mediascapes project is coming along; how some teachers are using Twitter, including how it could be used as a Health and Wellbeing tool; a couple of academic podcasts and a new audio content search engine; software for creating interactive assessements; the forthcoming Chartered Teacher conference and first Access Network Flashmeeting.

Show notes are here.

This week sees me in conversation with Dave Cain, probationary Primary teacher from Pencaitland Primary School, East Lothian, Scotland.  Dave writes to his personal, professional blog, Primary Ponderings, and runs the Pencaitland Primary School blog.

We discuss: his professional background; motivation and influence for personal (professional) and class blogging; concrete examples of 'blogging for excellence'; why probationers aren't blogging; commenting on blog posts; and where his blogging and grasp of new technologies may lead.

Show notes are available here.
