Saw you message on the Aust Digital Revolution community about Connected Schools: had a quick look but did not have the time to explore it properly. Can you give a summary of it in the Community please Tony?

Hi Tony I saw your message in the blogging community. I have been helping establish a primary school blog (with my Mum :) ). It has been really successful and fun so far. http://wormbins.edublogs.org/ Also Sydney Region IT Services has this podcast with some useful resources. http://podcastlane.wordpress.com/ Hope this helps a little. Also if you get to the stage of wanting to create video for your blog let me know as I've got some resources.
