I wonde why eduspaces is closing. Maybe it is because the site has changed into beeing a rss feeder, I scanned throught the most recent blogs and most of them where from other sites. Some were blatant advertisments such as these two fake (I guess?) persons. This is spam:

http://eduspaces.net/jgates513/weblog/235248.html

http://eduspaces.net/jamesg/weblog/235247.html

Maybe this kind of rss feeding machine was causing some copywright problems and the site owners feared legal battle.

1. Why not have students create a ‘group’ with themselves and the instructor in it (under Your Network : Access Controls)? Then assign the learning journal blog post  to this group. That way, only the student plus the instructor can read it. Then at the end of the semester,  have your students put together their learning  journal blog postings into a Presentation where they and their instructor can comment upon what they’ve written. The Presentation plugin is really very powerful for this kind of reflective writing. When it’s all put together in the Presentation the learning journal can become a coherent stream rather than a loose collection of disparate files.

   This sounds like an exciting project!

My sister gave birth to a baby girl on May 18th. The little one was in intensive care the first week and here is a picture of her six days old. Today she will travel to a remote village in Western fjords in Iceland, she will live on a farm. Her father is a sheep farmer and Avalanche research worker. Several villages in this area has been destroyed be avalanches.

This is considered the most dangerous area in Iceland to live in. The landscape is arctic and the West fjords are the most remote areas in Iceland. The small fishing villages are loosing more people every year because the fishing quotas has been sold away and there is no work left.

Last week I read in the elgg blog of my student that he had been listening to the news on radio and it was about debate in the Icelandic parliament. One of the senators ended his speech be citing me and quoting one paragraph from my blog salvor.blog.is.

I am amused that blogging is now such a hype in Iceland that both that blogs are cited in the parliament.

Tnis picture of the speakers at "The Future of Web Apps -

Two-day conference in September 2006 focusing on the development technology you'll be using tomorrow" is visual expression of whose voices are heard and whose voices are silenced in the brave new world of technological determinism.

Funny Flickr pool about the messiest computer setup. Strange looking at these photos and wondering that maybe I am too tidy... I better start having my desk more messy. My desktop is always very messy though.
