As I have time I will add some links to business studies and economics content on the web.
 
Who knows I may even blog once a month :-)

Putting OneNote in the cloud
In particular I am now thinking long and hard about where to store stuff. For OneNote File | Info allows me to put a version in the cloud on SkyDrive and a copy on my hard drive which is synched. This means I can collate notes and view from any location. Should improve information flows.

OneNote Web App
I am currently working with two of my sixth form classess to use OneNote to work on a project, collaborativley.
 
Thoughts:
 
  • you need to get your head around SkyDrive and associated technologies
  • key discovery: set up a group and invite students
  • MS limit the number of invites that can be sent each day. I ran out at about 30!
  • You need your own copy of Office 2010 to edit and set up a shared online OneNote. See http://www.software4students.co.uk/Microsoft_Office_2010_Professional_Plus-details.aspx: Microsoft Office Professional Plus for £39.95 – a special student price.

When I get time I'll put up one for my own interestes in economics, business studies and ICT for colleagues. In 2011?

PBWorks for collaboration

I am spending a bit of time exploring collaboration tools to use in the classroom:

  1. One Note
  2. Geoff Riley’s Moodle – must get round to subscribing
  3. PBWorks which seems to be a funky easy to use wiki creator

Linked blog with Windows Live Writer

Interesting to work with the Microsoft way of cloud working, blogs and web sites. Kind of makes sense but you need some patience. Most of my wev work has been with Typepad. I shall persevere with Windows Live and report back. Plus I will put up some links for students and others.

 

Now to work out how to reconcile Outlook 2010, the school edu-live outlook, and my various hotmail accounts. The penalty of multi personalities :-)

For now I am focussing on finishing Q&A work for Tutor2U and getting my head around SharePoint 2010, Office 2010 and the whole Windows Live experience
 
Next steps: publish a OneNote shared notebook on economics and business studies
