Very interesting post appeared on the ABC news site titled ‘Lawyer uses Facebook to serve documents‘. A Canberra court has approved using Facebook as a way to serve documents.

Tomorrow morning I am participating in (what I hope to be) a really engaging online discussion on emerging technologies and education. There should be about a dozen participants in this discussion with a mix of technologists and educators that are doing really interesting stuff in their environments with technology. This conversation is part […]

Project Wonderland is an open source toolkit from SUN for creating 3d virtual worlds. This set of videos provides a great overview of the types of things you can do in them, what some people are actually doing, and what new functionality is available. One of the projects that I never seem to […]

Or perhaps that should be ‘I think, therefore I (can) blog’. Not perhaps an accurate use of Descartes’ method, but it would be interesting to see what great philosophers of earlier times would have made of ‘digital identities’ or the ‘digital self’.
Stephen Downes posts a really interesting article ‘My digital identity’ and relates aspects […]

“Effective Practice with e-Portfolios - Supporting 21st century learning” is a recent (September 2008) JISC publication and is well worth a read if you are into e-portfolios.

ok - so this is for those of you who just love having an online presence and don’t mind being quite public about how people can contact you.
In the next few months we are going to see the launch of a new Top Level Domain (TLD) called ‘.tel’. Unlike websites, this will be only […]

Working on a report for e-Portfolios at the moment and it is really interesting to hear the passion and conviction in people when they talk about what an e-Portfolio is. From the JISC e-Portfolio Overview page there is a great little text box which simply states
