  1. @DeputyMitchell I hope you enjoy the UK Innovative Teachers Forum in Birmingham tomorrow David! The Crown Plaza is a nice hotel too!
  2. I've just accepted @DavidPott's invitation to Google Wave. Mmmm... Not much happening... Added @DeputyMitchell... Bah, too tired for this..!
  3. @rpycroft We'd like to go to BETT in January but we might not get the green light until February. You miss working at our place, don't you?!
  4. Check out these fantastic photographs from the Hajj (I have two friends there this year) and observance of Eid al-Adha. http://bit.ly/8XcNwv
  5. RT @DeputyMitchell: Anybody booked in on the Innovative Teachers Forum on Tuesday that can't go now? A colleague of mine wants to go but ...
  6. Spent the morning training Bolton schools in the use of SIMS Dinner Money, as I did yesterday and as I'll do tomorrow... All good stuff!
  7. I'm visiting a Bolton primary school this afternoon to train the classroom staff on how to take a register using SIMS.
  8. Learn Something New Every Day - http://bit.ly/7LVW1u
  9. @andybird Can the Parental Access controls in the iPlayer Settings be set to Total Block?! Even if you could, would you get away with it?!
  10. @dughall Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you need to run a system update first (req. for updated - and now free - Internet Channel too).
  11. @tomsmithmcse Quality is OK, although I'm still using a CRT. I don't think the programmes are in HD, you can't download first and no subs.
  12. I've just installed the BBC iPlayer channel on my daughter's Wii. http://bit.ly/6cMcG7 It's fantastic!
  13. @karl_goddard I'm glad the SIMS reports ran OK. I'm hoping migrating to SQL 2008 will improve database performance.
  14. The Big Picture: Large Hadron Collider ready to restart - http://bit.ly/7oXuvb
  15. @pickledjo I'll be taking Lib out of the way but I might catch up with you at some point!
  16. Working around support calls, I've spent the day updating our training room Virtual PC image with the latest SIMS datasets and upgrades.
  17. @DeputyMitchell @HeadDSpencer Fair enough, I was just curious! I think it's good for the children to have exposure to non-Windows systems.
  18. Sat in on a @DavidPott SIMS Assessment Manager training course today with colleagues from Thronleigh Salesian College. Brilliant stuff!
  19. @DeputyMitchell @HeadDSpencer When you can buy two decent PCs for the price of an iMac, why are Apples so attractive to educators?
  20. @jegreen I didn't know you used to work for Tucasi Jill. Was that before Capita Children's Services?
