Things just got a bit better,

I've experimented and find that I can point our domain anywhere, blog,
webpage etc and the domain still functions for other parts of Google
Apps - email, start page calendar etc

And I just got the following from Google Apps

not sure which application they reviewed because for good measure I
tried 3 different methods.)

We have learnt loads - THANK YOU!

Just to echo the above comments, my team and I really enjoyed Friday's meeting.

Steve's preparatory work and ICT knowledge helped us learn about the most applicable tools and why we needed them. We all feel much more confident about using the system and encouraging others to do so.

We will be meeting over the next few weeks to debrief from Friday and plan the learning programme and will update you all on the blog etc.

Once again - many thanks Steve!

iGoogle and Manchester

Yes despite a wet start the meeting went really well. I enjoyed trying out all the igoogle applications. I am sure Benard's participants will equally enjoy trying out all the different stuff there particularly as it all seems user-friendly and fun. It is easy to use and doesnt need a lot of IT support or know-how. The participants will also possiblky find it easy to demonstrate to others in their line of work. I see David has also brought to attention google apps. I have not had a chance to play around with it but if its got better features and even easier to use, then even better for Benard and his team should they decide to take it up.

Manchester in the Rain & a "VLE for Free"

We had a great day yesterday going through this. Whether or not the Manchester "Inspiring Leaders" team take this up I will certainly roll out a form of it on Teesside at some time.

Interestingly there is nothing we can see and therefore share with the PRADSA team because each persons iGoogle is personal to them. Something the Manchester group soon got the hang of as they personalised their learning spaces to suit their own personal interests and preferences and much fun was had.

There is a course blog (which learners would subscribe to in their iGoogle) but I'll leave it to Bernard and his colleagues to reveal the URL of that.

Since returning home I've experimented more with blogger and found easy ways to impliment some of the things the team were desirous of having.

1) Course Overview
2) Links to some PDF's (actually uploaded to Google Groups)
3) Videos including one shot directly into a £30 webcam

I think what is important is that none of this is dependent upon a highly skilled ICT "gatekeeper". It's all entirely DIY will only a reasonable level of ICT know-how.
