We've just got some lovely new MacBooks in school. Our Programme for teaching ICT skills is based on the Appleworks program, so I was so disappointed to find Macs no longer come with Appleworks as standard. We'll have to fork out for licences until we have managed to change our package to suit Microsoft software.
Mac also have stopped supplying the wee connector to link to a data projector - these now have to be purchased separately. Just as more people are using them on a more regular basis too - or is that the point? We have to have them! Or am I just being cynical?

The badge is back!
Well I've got my clock and Flickr badge back on my new template. I've had quite a few problems though. I can't get on to Blogger in school - another job for the technicians to get that unblocked! I can't get on to it on my PC either! What am I doing wrong? I know it gets harder to remember things as you get older and I've got too many login names and passwords, but how can I help other people to use blogs when I can't get things to work myself?

At Last!
Ever since I changed to the new login, I have been unable to get into post a new blog! I was using my PC rather than my trusty Mac and for some reason, couldn't get past a message to "click here to continue"!
Having spent the weekend in Brussels at an eTwinning Conference, I consulted with the expert - Ewan McIntosh - and here I am, on my Mac of course! The Conference was really good! I met up with a lot of old friends as well as making many new ones. Two of my eTwinning partners were there, Isabelle form Nancy, France and Maria, from Hamrun in Malta, so we had plenty to talk about! We made some plans for future developments to our projects as well as general socialising!
Brussels is a lovely city and we managed to get into the Grande Place a couple of times and buy the obligatory Belgian chocolates. I sampled the raspberry beer and the cherry beer which are more to my taste than the other Belgian beers - much sweeter!
The journey home was not so good though! Instead of flying to Glasgow from Birmingham, we were taken to Edinburgh and then put on a coach to Glasgow. Right up till the plane landed, we were told we would be flying on to Glasgow. However, the ground staff said that was never happening. Why didn't British Airways just tell us the truth from the start?
