Podcast: Interview with Andrew Foyle
Rozz met up with the CEO of Sherston software, a company very familiar to Irish teachers. Sherston have provided software to Irish schools for many years, many of which have had a great resurrection thanks to the Interactive Whiteboard. Andrew has some great plans for Sherston. They have already released a number of their titles as apps on Smartphone and tablet devices. Andrew told us about how Sherston’s new products will track a pupil’s work for assessment on their web site Planet Sherston.

Podcast: Interview Liz Russell
At the BETT Breakfast in London, we bumped into Liz Russell, a former teacher who set up an educational consultancy company, 21CLN. We spoke with her just as the news broke that Michael Gove, the education secretary in the UK, had made it easier for schools to fire teachers. Liz spoke to us about the pressures on teachers in the UK as well as about education consultancy in the UK and why schools need it.

ICS Skills Conference 2010
I was invited to speak at the Irish Computer Society’s annual conference in April. I was introduced as someone who would give an insight and examples into the virtual staff notice board and how I have made life a little easier for teachers using free web applications. I hope I managed to do that. My talk was based on my article, “Heads in the Cloud”, and I spoke about how my school utilises Google Apps for our complete communication system. For those of you who want to listen to the talk, below is a podcast. It does rely a little bit on a couple of images in places, but you should get a good picture of what I do, without seeing the slides.
Twitter Workshop Podcast
At the Tipperary Institute of Technology, as well as giving the keynote talk, I also gave a workshop entitled: “Becoming a member of the Twitterati”, which brought participants through signing up to Twitter, writing a tweet, following people and getting following, marking favourites and finally some recommendations of Twitter users to follow. Below is the podcast – enjoy!
Interview with Inside Education
A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by Seán Delaney, the presenter of Inside Education, a radio programme on Dublin City FM. Seán came to visit the school I work in and we had a chat about how I use technology in the school, my ideas about how technology can enhance learning and a brief summary of my latest project, Mash.ie. Seán’s radio show is the only radio show about education in Ireland. Luckily for me, who doesn’t live in Dublin, Dublin City FM stream every programme over the Internet so anyone in the world can listen to the show. Unfortunately, when the programme was aired, I was in Rossport, Co. Mayo in my mother-in-law’s house where there is no Internet connection. Thankfully, Seán podcasts the programme on iTunes so when I got back to Carlow, I could download the show. You can tune into Inside Education every Sunday evening at 7:30pm on Dublin City FM or check out the podcasts on InsideEd.com
