No pies

Another post for the food blog maybe, or is it poor service?

Here we are in the middle of nowhere (half way between Wanaka and Arrowtown), autumn has come and it’s time for comfort food.  All I wanted was a pie (expecting a place like this would sell Pepper Steak or something).  But no, all they [...]

Your blog . . .

Another Womans Weekly type test. I found this on Derek’s Blog first. How much does your blog own of you?

31.25 %

My weblog owns 31.25 % of me.
Does your weblog own you?I’m quite clear about this: I am primarily interested in community, blogs are secondary. I was suprised though: Derek was much much [...]

Web 2.0 tools

There was a Comunities of Practice workshop on Friday folowing the CPE conference with Etienne Wenger.

CoPs and Bloggers at CPE

Still being very interested in this topic. The chance to present at a conference where there is some understanding of CoP’s was too good an opportunity to miss. CPE 2006. Continuing Professional Education Conference. There were really three threads: recertification requirements, keeping up with developments in a profession and adult education.
I totally omitted the slide [...]

Italian Food

Phillpa is off to Rome with a choir later in the year.  As a result, I’ve been taking some extra interest in Italian Food.  There is Jamie Oliver’s Italian tour on a Monday TV3.  I think the key is pasta, tomato and olives – and then the right seasonings.

Noel cooked for us recently.  While he [...]

The Original Long Black

The original long black. I liked this ad:

Course as Community

The Applied e-Teaching and Support qual that was developed at the College last year aspires to build a community approach to the learning process. We ran a pilot last year, with some success, althought we certainly learned a lot.
Here are a few blogs that have posted on this issue.
