Latest Pontydysgu News

LIVE from Helsinki

The Sounds of the Bazaar summer series of LIVE Internet radio shows continues. This week we will be broadcasting three live shows from the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Helsiniki.

The shows will be broadcast form 1200 – 1230 Central European Time on Wednesday 25 August and Thursday 26 August and from 1100 – 1130 Central European Time on Friday 27 August (Don’t forget, if you are listening form the UK it is one hour earlier).

ECER is Europe’s largest education conference with some 2000 delegates from every area of educational research. It is organised through a series of networks. We will be talking to some of the network chairs as well as to conference delegates.

You can ‘drop into the conference’ by tuning into Sounds of the Bazaar. Just go to

This will open the LIVE radio stream in your MP3 player of choice.

Clippings new on Pontydysgu site

A couple of weeks ago I followed a link from Pat Parslow’s twitter to a clipping he had posted on Amplify. I hadn’t seen the site before and was well impressed. Amplify, the site blurb says, “is the place to spark conversation about news, thoughts, ideas, photos or anything else that’s on your mind. And whilst the offer of a microblog, blog or email entry are pretty standard, what caught my eye was the clippings tool.  “Add Amplify to your browser to clip and share your take on articles, blog posts,  videos or anything else you find on the web.”

Neat and ideal for those things which you don’t have time to blog about but warrant more that 140 characters with a tiny url on twitter.

The only thing was that I didn’t really want to set up yet another web space – we have plenty of those already – but wanted to post my clippings directly to the Pontydysgu site. And I found there is a way to do that. Clipmarks, who are the people behind Amplify, produce a Firefox plug in to let you clip and annotate directly from a web page.

It works very well. The only problem is that it does not support categories. In the end we have got round that by allocating the ‘uncategorised’ category to our clippings. Anyway to see the results just click on the clippings tab on the main menu bar. And if you have any ideas for how we can improve this feature please get in touch.

Multimedia

Social Media in the UK

August 22nd, 2010 by Graham Attwell

Well made video summarising latest social science research on social networking and the use of social media in the UK. A couple of things – the first is that I like the use of short videos like this for presenting research findings. The other is the results of the survey. Whilst most of it rings pretty true, I do not believe one in four of us is writing a blog – or does that include micro blogging?

Technology WILL NOT save education

Another article reporting from the European Conference on Educational Research held in Helsinki last week.

Amplifying #ECER2010 – a progress report

August 26th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

The Pontydsygu team is hard at work in Helsinki working on multimedia at the European Conference on Educational Research. The idea is three fold – firstly to start a process of turning the conference, which attracts over 200 delegates every year, outwards to those unable to attend face to face. Secondly we aim to enhance [...]

Prywatność i reputacja w sieci

August 13th, 2010 by Ilona Buchem

Gazeta wyborcza opublikowała niedawno artykuł Jeffreya Rosena pod tytułem „Sieć. Bez przebaczenia“, w którym autor opisuje problem prywatności w sieci i przytacza przykłady na to, jak negatwywne konsekwencje mogą mieć ślady cyfrowe pozostawione w internecie. Na przykład uczelnia w USA odmawia dyplomu studentce odbywającej staż nauczycielski w liceum, która wstawiła na MySpace swoje zdjęcie w [...]

    The ECER 2010 Conference

    ECER 2010 Helsinki Poster

    ECER 2010, “Education and Cultural Change”, takes place in Helsinki, 23 – 27 August.

    Cultural change has emerged as an important issue in most European countries due to increased migration. With regard to education in Europe, culture is often perceived as referring mostly to ethnicity, religion and language, though cultural diversity also refers to race, gender, class, age, ability and sexual orientation.
