James Farmer: Empire growing daily

Screenshot5_4

Farmer's Empire continues to expand. Soon it will be the exact size and shape of the internet itself. The Australian Government must surely do something at some point.

Following last nights EdTech Brainstorm number 9, James Farmer has created his latest learner enslaving monster, Learnerblogs.org. He's offering learners free wordpress blogs, within a password protected environment.

All joking aside, good on you James - it's great to see edublogging activism in action. If you have any, send him money.

Thanks to Harold Jarche for this - and also for giving the Edubloggers map a heads up (we're up to 78 so far)

Edublog city

Echauffement_1

A good day for edubloggers. Technorati's 20 millionth indexed blog was, pretty fittingly, Les CE2/CM2 Anquetil, a blog from an elementary school in Reims, France.

From Epeus' epigone

Frappr (as they're now calling themselves) are getting some good publicity out of me. Now that I've discovered that they do cover various other bits of the world, if you can be bothered to use the navigation bars (thanks Adrian!), I've gone ahead and set up a new map. Since there's so much real estate, I thought I'd set up an edublog map for everyone (well, everyone covered by Google maps at the moment anyway), not just us UK & Ireland based types. So please, if you're an edublogger of any shape, size or persuasion, please head over to http://www.frappr.com/edubloggers.

Please remember to put your blog name and url in the 'shoutout' section. And please do advertise the map - lets make a great resource for edubloggers and for everyone interested in using technology to support teaching and learning.
