This is one of our class blogs where ads have been appearing recently. The class teacher contacted me for advice and I suggested that the school could sign up to be an edublogs supporter and then there would be no more ads appearing on their site.

This site provides an overview of the DIAL-e framework developed by Kevin Burden and Simon Atkinson. It includes a great introductory video on the project. "The framework was developed as part of a UK project, sponsored through the Joint Information Services Committee (JISC), to encourage academics and other educators to adopt digital artefacts (in this case video) as part of their teaching, learning and research strategies. Simon and Kevin have three papers about this at the Ascilite conference. I really like this framework and think it has great potential. I think it is a good example of a 'design schema' i.e. a framework to enable teachers and designers to think differently about learning and teaching.
